Insights

  • Buying costs more upfront (about $100K more in payments over 10 years) but creates significant equity—over $700K.
  • Renting may be cheaper monthly but offers no long-term financial upside.
  • Rent escalation further increases the disparity over time.
  • Buying also opens doors for tax deductions (interest, property taxes) and inflation hedging through fixed-rate mortgage stability.
