Owning Beats Renting Sooner With a Starter Home
Feeling like buying your first place is still years away? Here’s how to shortcut it.

While data shows saving up and reaching the break even point where owning costs about the same as renting usually takes around 15 years, there are ways to get there faster.

If you set your sights on a starter home, it’s actually closer to seven years. That cuts the time in half. You’re looking at 4.6 years to save and 2.6 to break even.

But keep in mind, those numbers assume you put 20% down. Most first-time buyers put down far less, so that saving timeframe can shrink even more.

DM me, and I'll share a few ways to reach your first home sooner – like talking to a lender about down payment assistance programs.

Since you’ve probably already been saving for a while, you may be closer than you realize.

Rates just hit 7.28%, the highest we've seen since 2023. 📈

Here's the part the headlines skip: Orlando prices are holding steady, and buyers have more options than they've had in years. More homes on the market and more time to decide means more room to negotiate on price, repairs, and closing costs.

🏡 Median price: $400,676
📦 Homes for sale: 12,144
⏱️ Avg. days on market: 64

If you're buying, now is the time to negotiate. If you're selling, price to today's comps, not last year's.

A few things we covered:
📈 St. Cloud has roughly doubled since 2010
🛍️ New commercial going in about 9 minutes away
🔑 It works for first-time buyers and for investors
