Some Highlights
- When you rent, you build your landlord’s wealth, your monthly payment depends on ever-rising rents, and you don’t benefit from home price appreciation.
- On the other hand, when you buy a home, specifically in a thriving area like Chicago, you build your own wealth, your monthly payment is locked in, and you benefit directly from home price appreciation because owning a home has financial benefits over renting. Navigating the market can be intimidating, in which case real estate brokers offer their expert guidance.
- If you’re feeling the challenges of a competitive market, particularly in Chicago, remember that homeownership is a long-term game. Working with real estate professionals can prove advantageous. Persevering today will lead to financial rewards in the future.
