<h1>Does Renting Make Sense Given the Bad Real Estate Market</h1>

One of the basic tools used by financial advisors is to show
their clients the advantages of homeownership versus renting. As
you've probably heard, renting always seems to come out as the bad
option. Many are starting to question whether that is still the
case.
Regardless of where you turn these days the news regarding the
real estate market is bad. Prices are falling. Lenders are not
lending money. Foreclosures are going up. The Federal Reserve is
going to raise rates. As I write this, the federal government is
announcing that there will be no bailout of Fannie Mae. While that
is good news, the fact that the financial viability of Fannie Mae
is even being questioned is very scary.
Given all of the negative signs in the real estate market, we
need to return to the fundamental question of whether buying a home
now is a good move. There are many caveats that go into the answer,
but we are going to ignore them. We are going to assume you are
moving into a solid neighborhood, the home is in decent shape and
the price is within a reasonable range of its appreciated
value.
So, should you buy? The answer is yes! Not only that, there
hasn't been a better time to buy in the last 8 years. With the real
estate market going down, you're probably wondering how I could be
taking this positions. Well, think it through.
People will always need a place to live. They needed homes 80
years ago. They will need them in 80 years. Unlike the stock of a
company that can go up or down or even become utterly worthless, a
home has an inherent value because it is real property. This means
that sooner or later, the market will turn around. When it does,
you want to be a homeowner so you can reap the benefits of the
rebound.
Home values are falling. Practically every bit of news related
to the real estate market is negative. Simply put, it can't get
much worse than now. That means it is time to buy. If we are not at
"rock bottom", we are mighty close. You might see the home you buy
lose a bit more value through 2008 and even 2009, but what do you
think it will be worth in 2011? A lot more than you buy it for if
you act now.
The real estate market will rebound. In fact, it is going to
rebound strongly and a lot of people are going to make some serious
money. We are at or near the bottom. There is no better time to buy
and reap the benefits when things turn around. In comparison to
renting, well, there is no comparison.
