Buy a Home or Rent?

rentingvsowningIt’s a decision many people face, and the decision to Buy a home or rent may not be simple.

As a homeowner, you can reasonably expect the equity in your home to increase over time as your mortgage is paid down. That, combined with regular appreciation in property values, can be a rapid and rewarding way to increase your net worth. In contrast, the person renting over the same amount of time is left with no property investment but may have enjoyed lower living expenses and the opportunity to invest in other opportunities.

When comparing owning to renting, you have to add up all of the figures, including the cost of your home, the size of your down payment, utilities, immediate repairs, interest rates and insurance, and compare them with how much you are currently spending on rent.

Of course, you also have to place a value on the enjoyment and satisfaction that you will derive from owning your own home.

    25 Oxley Street Downtown Toronto, Jethro Seymour, one of the Top Real Estate Brokers in Toronto
    Downtown Toronto Condo Sold by Top Broker Jethro Seymour

    "We were quite emotional the day the new owners took possession of our home, sad to leave it and Toronto in general. Jethro was so supportive.

    In the pouring rain, he put our final suitcases in his car, drove us to the hotel where we were staying, and even offered to drive us anywhere we needed to go while in T.O. that weekend. He also brought us a very very nice bottle of bubbly our last night in the condo.

    Honestly, I’ve never met anyone like him and this was our 5th home to sell in..."
