To Buy or Keep Renting

Raymond Marram

Hello 

I live between Austin San Antonio and rents are going up for SF homes to rent.I am spending 1900.00 a month between storage & apartment now and have been doing this for awhile.

Pre owned homes are selling @retail and above asking price between 105 to 120 sq foot.

I can purchase this new home for 251.000 that had a base price of 241.000 with 17.000 of builders upgrade. With 10% down my payment would be around 1500.00

This house has a Goodman ac 14 ser and 1 thermostat situated in upper floor to cool both floors. I am concerned about this set up.

Should I purchase or keep renting without knowing where the bubble or interests rates will be.

Thanks

Don't try to time the market.  It doesn't work.  If your job is very stable and you find a home you like, but it.  If you were any good at timing markets, you would retired from the stock market already.  Be comfortable.  There is a substantial dollar value associated with that.
