📊 Why This Matters in Fall 2025

The housing market is still feeling the effects of high interest rates and low inventory. Many homeowners are “locked in” with ultra-low mortgage rates from years past, which means fewer homes are hitting the market—and those that do are expensive.

Meanwhile, renting offers:

• Lower monthly costs in most U.S. cities
• Flexibility to move or upgrade without selling
• Freedom from maintenance and property taxes

But how do you know if renting is truly better for you?
