New Info on Home-buying Vs. Renting Costs in Houston

home sold in Houston, TX Have you ever wondered what the numbers were for buying a home in Houston as compared to renting? If so, you will be interested in a new study that has just been released detailing that exact question. Some of the conclusions may be surprising, and some will be confirmation of already held beliefs. One issue that might surprise you is the conclusion that while higher home prices are a good indicator of local markets, they may also have a down-side in the long run. Here is the beginning of that story:


“As a whole, the U.S. saw an overall housing market appreciation of $1.6 trillion in 2016. That's a 5.7-percent growth, real estate research firm Zillow reports. Several major metros have more than recovered from the height of the housing bubble, but the majority of the country's biggest markets, about 60 percent, are still "below the maximum values reached during the bubble years."
