...Final Project: New House Decision ECO/212 February 20, 2010 The arrival of a new baby is a major lifestyle change. The decision to buy a house takes into account pros and cons of making a major purchase. A studio apartment is a difficult living arrangement with a new baby, because it is small and without a separate space for a baby. The studio apartment is not in proximity to schools or services, which are needed for childcare. A house offers space for baby, a yard, schools, and services. The pros of home ownership offer many benefits not available with a rental property. Trade-offs The studio apartment although close to downtown night life, is not close to schools, churches, or shopping centers. This location worked well for the past few years, because children were not part of the equation. Some trade-offs are required before making a housing purchase. Proximity to night life is enjoyable; however, caring for a new baby will limit a carefree lifestyle. Purchasing a home will require a down-payment and closing costs. In addition to a monthly mortgage payment, utilities, homeowner dues, repairs, maintenance, lawn care, insurance, and taxes are costs of ownership. When renting the renter does not have homeowner dues, lawn car, property taxes, and most repairs and maintenance costs. Homeowners unlike renters can make home modifications, without ramifications. Equity in a home increases the homeowner’s personal wealth. Homeownership also signifies stability. A renter...

But lately, I read a lot of arguments against it in favor of renting. How do I know if it’s a good idea for me? Should I buy or keep renting? Sincerely, Hopeful Homeowner Dear HH, For a long time, conventional wisdom seemed to be that you grow up and buy a home because that’s just what you do.

Five Things I Wish I Had Known Before I Bought a House Homeownership isn’t a good or bad idea on its own. It has everything to do with your own situation. Sometimes, buying a home is the smart thing to do; other times, it really isn’t. Whether or not it’s smart for you will depend on a few different factors. Here’s what you should keep in mind. Don’t Think of a Home as Your Main Investment Should I Buy a Home or Just Keep Renting?
