Renting Vs. Buying in Edmonton’s Spring Market

Renting Vs. Buying in Edmonton’s Spring Market

Should you rent or should you buy? It’s a question many people face as the spring market heats up in Edmonton. As a mortgage broker, you might expect me to push you toward buying – but that’s not always my advice – sometimes renting is the right move.

Why Renting Might Be the Right Move

If you’re planning to live in a home for only a couple of years, renting can sometimes be the better financial decision. Here’s why:

  • Selling Costs Add Up: Realtor commissions, legal fees, and other costs of selling a home can quickly eat into any potential profits.
  • Short-Term Uncertainty: If you’re unsure about your long-term plans, renting gives you flexibility without the financial commitments of buying and selling.

When Buying Makes Sense

Buying a home can be a great investment if you’re planning to stay in Edmonton long-term and build equity. A personalized conversation can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your goals, lifestyle, and financial situation.
