Dru showed us her blog post that highlights this really cool graph on the NY times website… 

Is it better to rent or buy? 

Well, that depends on lots!  But a few of the variables this graph takes into consideration are…

          ◊  What’s the cost of the home?

          ◊  How much are you paying for rent?

          ◊  Are homes in the area appreciating or depreciating?  

          ◊  How long do you plan on staying put?

          ◊  Are rents going up or down?

          ◊  What’s the interest rate on your mortgage?

          ◊  How much is your down payment?  

          ◊  How much are the property taxes?

Pass this along to your buyers that are having trouble answering this question for themselves!
