Renting vs Buying in Austin, Texas | Spyglass Realty
I always advise my clients when they are searching MLS for homes, that they actually plan on staying in that home for at least 3 years, and even that is cutting it close. The fact of the matter is that we will have a recession at some point. It may not be next year but it will happen. And that’s why we advise on 5 years to be a safer bet for appreciation and being able to sell your home with enough equity to move up in the house when you buy the next one.
