In Trulia’s 2014 Rent vs. Buy Report, they explained that homeownership remains cheaper than renting throughout the 100 largest metro areas in the United States; ranging from an average of 5% in Honolulu, all the way to 66% in Detroit, and 38% Nationwide!
via Buying a Home is 38% Less Expensive than Renting! | Keeping Current Matters.
In the Milwaukee area it is 51% cheaper to buy and in rural areas all over Wisconsin maybe even more so.
Another interesting quote:
Nationally, rates would have to rise to 10.6% for renting to be cheaper than buying – and rates haven’t been that high since 1989.
