Why We Now Rent

March 29th, 2009

My husband and I had been homeowners for 17 years. We decided to sell our last home because we lived in an area where jobs were scarce and we wanted to be nearer family. After 2 years on the market, we finally got an offer. However, because the economy crashed, we sold our home at cost and didn’t get anything out of the sale. We were able to move to a new area, but are currently renting a house. There are advantages to both renting and owning your own home. When you own your own home, you are responsible for everything that goes wrong. When you rent, you can call the owner and have him or her take care of it. We still prefer to own and hope we will be able to buy a home soon. We are looking into rent to own options and other ways to buy.
