It appears that buying real estate in and around Boston might actually be better than renting. The New York Times uses a rent ratio that compares “the purchase price of a typical house divided by the annual rent of a similar house”.  According to the article one should buy if the number is below 20, rent if it is above 20.  The “rent ratio” in Boston is 17.6.

Interest rates are currently low, as are property values, and it is a great time to buy greater Boston real estate.  If you are considering jumping into home ownership, the first step is realizing how much you can afford and getting pre-qualified for a mortgage. A qualified mortgage broker can assist you with this step.

There are some great buys in the $500′s, and even some in the $400′s in Wellesley. For advice about purchasing a home in the western suburbs, and to see active listings, call Jane Neilson at 781-223-7338.
