Home Owner Vs Home Renter

Home purchasing is a big project that every one of us has to deal with in our lifetimes. It is better to buy a home if you expect to move within two years; reason is that there are costs associated with selling. Most of the home owners rely on the home appreciation, so that to pay the costs and to provide the down payments and closing costs when they want to buy their next home.
Purchasing a home when you require moving before too long is a risk, particularly in an uncertain market.

Most buyers live in their new home an average of the seven years or more. If that fits you, it almost always makes sense to buy rather than rent in any market. If you are thinking to delay a purchase, because you want to “time the market” to get the best deal, that is almost impossible to do with precision. Even if you are in area with the falling market prices, the expertise cannot reliably anticipate the bottom of a real estate market.

If you are not an owner, but a renter, then you do not get to minimize the income taxes by itemizing the deductions like property taxes and mortgage interest. As a renter, you can make limited changes to your living quarters. But as an owner, you can paint the living room ‘Paris green’ if you want or put in an avocado green carpet. You can also change the light fixtures, garden and landscape.

These days’ interest rates are also very low. If you wait, then the interest rates could be higher. This means your monthly payment could also be higher, too. Home ownership is the easiest way to accumulate the wealth. There is more equity in the home than the assets in stocks, retirement plans, mutual funds and savings.
