The Buckner Group PodcastWhat is the Cost to Buy vs Rent?Are you fearful of buying right now due to higher prices and interest rates? If you are planning on living in Chicago for the next 3-5 years, buying can secure a consistent monthly payment when compared to renting.
Rents have increased 8-10% over the past 12 months, and we can expect further increases in the future. Plus, that money you put into a mortgage will also build long-term equity.

A healthy market has 6 months of housing inventory. From 2018 - 2022, we went from 4 to 2 months of inventory. Compare that to 8-10 months in the 2008 financial crisis.
In the last 4 years, a seventh of the number of housing loans are being given out to people with a credit score of less than 620.
