Q: My landlord wants me to keep renting but should I be buying?

 

Buying versus renting is a decision you will need to make based on your specific situation.  You will not only need to consider your ability to finance and pay for a home, you will also need to consider the stability of property values in your area, the responsibilities of owning a home and your long term goals and commitments.

 

Your local real estate agent can provide you information about market conditions and property values.  You can also take advantage of this Freddie Mac calculator to use to help you determine if you are better off renting.
