      1) saw a few posts on why home ownership < renting today. I get the flexibility and not having maintenance benefits. However none of the articles talked about rent to mtg spreads (thx cheap debt). For example, the 2 bedroom apartments in the same master planned dev as me rent for

      2) the same as my mtg payment (yes I put in equity and have tax burden) but i also have some mild tax benefits of ownership. Renting > buying is taking a serious bet on no inflation and if you’re in a high demand market, your ability to continue to grow your income faster than

      3) rents. Most major markets are under supplied from a housing standpoint with rapidly growing construction pricing. That means rents rising in conjunction. None of these articles talked about locking in a fixed payment (while income theoretically grows) to where time arbitrage

      I’m frequently seeing situations where it’s costing noticeably more to rent than buy, but people are choosing to rent anyway. Chart shows rent v own data points in a given market over last 12 months, plotting monthly cost and square footage.pic.twitter.com/hfT5v48QOW

      Blue is rent, red and orange are monthly mortgage payments with 20% and 10% down. They are not rent-burdened (market median income $100k+), but either for convenience or lack of down payment are choosing to rent.

      Even if it is cheaper to buy than rent, if you don't plan on staying in that place for a long time, the fixed costs of buying make renting more attractive.

      True, but paying a premium for the convenience of flexibility is a very recent phenomenon. That dynamic is, I think, still evolving. It’s only been a few decades now where you could rent by choice in a high quality safe building without social stigma of not owning.

      Would you say that 10 and 20 years ago buying, relative to renting, was more or less affordable than it is today? Buy to rent ratios were lower then but interest rates were higher. I wonder If society’s expectations changed or it was just the economics of the mortgage payment.

          I think it’s a combination of societal changes and other affordability issues. It’s not just the economics of the mortgage payment - look at how rates have fallen over the last 4 decades while homeownership rose, then fell, and now is rising again.pic.twitter.com/iEYh72s3tY

          Good point. Regulatory standards and changing demographics are also big.
