High Mortgage Rates Pushing Consumers to Rent Homes Instead of Buy
Abstract
While there is a very low correlation between real estate and the stock market, home prices continue to increase along with inflation. We're at a strange place now in the real estate market with the market cooling; inventory is increasing, and interest rates are on a roller coaster ride. Since interest rate movements significantly impact the housing and rental markets, investors are considering how to go about them. You should note the prices of homes on the MLS, the market's average cash on cash return, and the price to rent ratio. What Is a Price to Rent Ratio? Price to rent ratio is a metric used by investors to see if owning traditional rental properties is viable and profitable in a particular market. Investors use a certain gauge to see how traditional rentals fare in a market. Use Mashvisor to find the best possible rental property in the most profitable rental market.
