It was cheaper for my wife and I to buy a house (at 5.5%) and put $100/month into a 4% savings account (strictly for repairs/upkeep, we still have our own personal savings) than it is to rent. Not to mention we have almost twice the sq ft, our own personal pool, etc. Rent also continues to skyrocket around us so it's likely going to continue to be cheaper for us for the forseeable future, all while we're building equity.
