Buying vs Renting in Medina TN
When it comes to deciding whether to rent or buy your next home, it all boils down to the golden rule of real estate: location, location, location. Renting can make complete sense in one city , while it would be a money drain in another. And the length of time you plan to stay in that area has a big impact on the bottom line as well. But in general, housing values are becoming a much better investment than they were just a few years ago especially in West Tennessee. And if you're looking to settle down, it's probably best to seal the deal. "It depends on your local market," said Brendon DeSimone, a Zillow real estate expert. "There's no one answer for the whole country." Here's what you should think about before you sign the dotted line on a lease or a mortgage.Location You first need to dig into data on your local market. There's no one geographic area that's taking the housing market by storm, but many areas of the manufacturing-ravaged Midwest are a good bet like West Tennessee's housing market. It's also wise to check Zillow's Breakeven Horizon index, which takes into account the price of a down payment, purchase costs, and utility and maintenance fees in different cities. According to the index, it would take 8.3 years before buying a home makes more financial sense than renting a home in San Francisco. But in Tampa, that number is much smaller, at 1.6 years. Renting is ideal for someone who plans to live in an area for fewer than 2 to 3 years. If you were to buy a house in that time, you might not get the return on your investment.
