When it's better to rent rather than buy
xCruzo Brief
The article argues that renting can make sense when buying a home is out of reach, despite long-standing conventional advice to invest in real estate. It cites Hannah Jones of Realtor.com, noting that affordability pressures are hitting many early- and mid-career workers. Data highlighted includes a nearly 3% rise in the share of 18-to-44-year-olds living with parents since 2010–2014. The piece also points to ongoing ownership costs beyond a mortgage: electricity prices rose 7.4% from 2024 to 2025, and property taxes can add hundreds of dollars monthly. House prices increased 55% between Q1 2020 and Q3 2025, while rent rose about 70% from 2020 to 2026 with smaller year-to-year changes, helping stabilize monthly budgets.
