\"Should<\/p>\n

In a recent CNBC article<\/a>, it was reported that many baby boomers are selling their current homes and moving into\u00a0rentals, rather than purchasing another home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBetween 2009 and 2015, the number of renters aged 55 or above rose 28 percent, while those aged 34 or younger only increased 3 percent\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more than 5 million baby boomers across the nation are expected to rent their next home by 2020, according to a 2016 analysis from Freddie Mac.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This makes sense in the short term for many reasons. If you are moving to a different part of town or a new region of the country, you may decide to rent until you pick the perfect home in an area you love. However, is renting a good long-term strategy?<\/p>\n

A mortgage payment remains fixed. Rents, however\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Should<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, rents have steadily increased and are showing no signs of slowing down. If you are faced with making the decision of whether you should rent or buy your next home, you should take this into consideration.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One way to protect yourself from rising rents is to lock in your housing expense by buying a home instead of renting. Let\u2019s get together so we can help you decide what the best step is for you and your family!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
