In fact...lets see what data you can provide....
You're the one originally making claims so...the burden of proof is on you.

Im looking at my own data. Ill give an example of a house that I am renting in REAL TIME.

Market value is $650k
Mortgage plus payment on that property is ~$5k if you were to buy today assuming 7% interest rate and taxes and fees included.
The rent I charge on that property is $3400. Its a win win since I bought that property years ago for $180k.


While yes the cost to rent that property vs buy is less, it isnt half. And admittedly the numbers look like this since Austin has skyrocketed within the last 2 years. So Im just curious to see what city has the data support your statement is all.

I am providing real data.

I have several others in my portfolio none of which are half rent of mortgage.
And I am not forecasting....I am looking at data to date. On your statement, you weren't forecasting either.

I'm not forecasting, but the value in the discussion is one of leading indicators based off a model of what is happening. The model is in contention....

you wouldn't expect a leading indicator to be homogenous....which is another reason that asking for data is an obvious way to further cherry pick discussion when all individuals would other wise have access to data themselves to provide a contrary take readily in the first place.

inb4 another anachron classic like "rents not a leading indicator" after he already died on that hill...

It really seems like you have 0 data (and what you're saying isn't even remotely true where I live).

Rent is "cheaper" in most US cities than buying.


This ignores quality of housing. I've yet to see a sf and yard space comparison costs that support renting.

How about a studio apartment compared to ANY house in the same zip code not a 7 figure house.

Nope. Rent is decreasing. Rent is half of what a mortgage costs here...
If rentals are half its because they are piles of crap. Compare a 3k sq ft house, nice build, land, room to move vs an 800 sq foot apartment with your neighbor banging on the wall because you are loud. Lol at living like a hobo just because you coping.

I bet rentcels just eat like a can of chili every night because its cheaper than a steak.

lets go through a thought experiment:

What's the monthly payment on a 500k house right now?

interest rate 7.5%....

I'm charging much less rent than a person would be spending on a new mortgage if they bought my house today mainly because I'm passing on the savings from my lower rate, which is locked in at 1.69% until 2026 versus the 5.xx% current rate.

If someone bought the house today with rates where they are, they'd be spending $800/month more just on the higher financing costs. I had the capacity to take on that debt when rates are lower, now I can help someone else benefit in this tougher rate environment.

I am aligned. I think people would like to see your "model" so we can understand how you came to the conclusion is all.
I would assume if the "model" followed the current trend.....I would just have to raise rent prices again. If I didnt raise rents in the last few years, then yes i could be close to half of "current" mortgage however I raised them and the renters accepted the price hikes without question. In fact on certain inner city properties, my tenants have been relentlessly asking me to buy the properties.

This plus the fact that I bought the properties at a much lower price than current market prices.....but its still not half and thats with some of the highest property tax prices in the country.

Id rather have a upstanding professional rent my place than max out my rental potential with a new tenant that I dont know as well.

To have a wider perspective.....I wouldnt advocate that a renter buy now.......

But they should have bought years ago. That would have been the ideal.

Paid $330k for our house last year locked @ 2.75%. The house next door just sold for $380k despite being 850 sq ft smaller and not nearly as well appointed. I think we will be ok.

Probably like 2700, not counting property taxes, which vary wildly.


Now let's compare the 3k sf and half an acre to that 800 sf 1 bedroom with shared walls and a parking lot you are using to define "rental costs."
