Miami, buy or rent?




How many times have you heard this phrase:
“I’m tired of throwing money away on rent.” — or — “If you’re renting, you’re throwing money away.”
Our society holds a pervasive myth that rent is “throwaway” money. But the truth, however, is much more complex.
As a homeowner, you’ll “throw money away” on all types of expenses, ranging from property taxes to homeowner’s insurance, from sprinkler systems to gutter cleaning, from power-washing to HVAC repair. You’ll pay for closing costs, title insurance, Realtor commissions and homeowner association dues.
To clarify: I don’t believe that any of those above expenses represent “throwing your money away” — just as I also don’t believe that renting is “throwing money away,” either. In both cases, you’re exchanging money for a desired good or service.
The question, then, becomes: Which do you desire more? Would you be happier renting or buying?
Let’s take a look at some of the factors that should play into your decision.
Advantages of Renting
#1: Mobility. Want to spend the summer in Paris? Live in New York City for a year?
As a renter, you have the flexibility and freedom to move to any new location. Just wait until the end of your lease (or negotiate an early-lease-termination with your landlord) and you’re free to travel anywhere.
As a homeowner, on the other hand, your hands are tied. You can’t just step away from your mortgage. Yes, you can sell the house, but that’s a long, cumbersome process involving plenty of risk.
#2: Price Flexibility. Did you get laid-off from your job? Decide to change careers into a lower-paying but more-satisfying field? Do you want to become a stay-at-home parent?
As a renter, you have the flexibility to change the price that you pay for housing. If you’re a high-income earner and you’d like to live in a beautiful, upscale home, you’re welcome to sign a one-year lease on a fancy condo. If you later endure a job loss, decide to bootstrap a business, or switch from a two-income household down to one-income, you can move to a different unit with more affordable rent.
As a homeowner, however, you don’t have that flexibility. You’re locked into your mortgage for 15 to 30 years.
#3: Lower Costs. In many areas, the cost of renting is actually cheaper than the cost of owning a home.
Many renters assume the opposite. They make the mistake of comparing their landlord’s mortgage to their monthly rent.
But the mortgage payment is only one small portion of a homeowner’s overall expenses. Homeowners also need to pay for repairs, maintenance and higher accounting fees. (And landlords need to cover all of those expenses, plus vacancies, property management, book-keeping and legal fees.)
How much does this cost? As a general rule of thumb, homeowners should set aside one percent of the purchase price each year for repairs and maintenance. The owner of a $300,000 home, for example, should set aside $3,000 per year.
Owners won’t literally pay this much each year. Some years, they may only pay $1,000 for maintenance. Other years, however, they’ll pay $15,000 for a new roof.
Advantages of Owning
That said, however, there are a few benefits to owning a home, as well.
#1: Potential Appreciation. Let’s be careful with this point. Many homeowners point to the rising value of their home to defend their decision to purchase a property.
Indeed, from 1968 to 2004, median home prices rose 6.4 percent annually, according to data from the National Association of Realtors. Inflation averaged around 3 percent during that same timespan, meaning that housing boasted “real returns” of 3.4 percent after inflation.
However, during that same timespan, the average size of a home grew by about 60 percent, according to the National Association of Home Builders. In 1970, the average home was a moderate 1,500 square feet; by 2004, the average home size reached 2,369 square feet.
In other words: After adjusting for inflation and for the cost-per-square-foot, housing hasn’t risen quite as dramatically as people might believe.
That said, however, all real estate is “local.” Don’t worry about how houses across the nation might fare; think about the potential appreciation in your particular neighborhood or town. Are people moving into your city or streaming out of it? Is your neighborhood getting more jobs or fewer?
#2: Inflation Protection. If you’re a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage, you can rest assured knowing that your monthly payments will never change, regardless of what happens with interest rates and inflation in the future.
As time marches forward, and inflation kicks in, you’ll be paying your mortgage with cheaper and cheaper dollars.
Renters, by contrast, don’t enjoy this luxury. As inflation rises, so will their rents.
#3: Emotional Satisfaction. Here’s one of the biggest benefits to homeownership: You’ll enjoy a home that’s purely yours.
You can paint the walls, stain the hardwoods and replace the shower heads without needing to ask your landlord’s permission. You can upgrade the appliances, remove partition walls and hang new light fixtures. In short: You can stamp the house with your personality.
You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that your landlord will never decide not to renew your lease, leaving you scrambling to find another home. You’ll appreciate knowing that you can plant a perennial garden, knowing that you’ll stay put for a while.
Should you buy or rent? There’s no clear-cut choice. This answer largely hinges on your preferences: Will owning a home make you feel “trapped,” or secure? Will having a lease make you feel “free and flexible,” or vulnerable?
One person’s “flexibility” is another person’s “lack of stability.” And one person’s “stuck” is another person’s “steady.” The way you’ll feel about buying vs. renting is very much in the eye of the beholder.
So make the choice that best fits your priorities and personality. And don’t buy into the myth that you’re “throwing money away” if you rent. Your choices are worth much more.

Miami-Dade home prices have risen for 4.5 years straight: report

Listing inventory, especially for condos, is starting to pile up

While the volume of Miami-Dade County home sales continued its sharp fall during this year’s second quarter, prices seem to be going nowhere but up.
According to a new report from the Miami Association of Realtors, the second quarter marked four-and-a-half years of uninterrupted price appreciation for homes and condos in the county.
The latest numbers show median prices for a condo rose 5.5 percent year-over-year to $215,000, and single-family homes jumped 8.6 percent to $295,000.
As analyst Anthony Graziano of Integra Realty Resources has told The Real Deal in the past, much of that appreciation can be considered “value recovery” from when prices bottomed out during the housing bust.
But those growing home values have also raised heated debate over the lack of affordable housing in Miami-Dade, with some market watchers saying the issue has reached crisis levels.
Meanwhile, the pace of sales in Miami-Dade is downshifting from years of overheated activity. The association’s figures show 3,626 homes were sold in Miami-Dade during the second quarter, falling 7 percent from the 3,900 sold during the same period of last year. Condo sales fell even further, with the second quarter seeing a 12 percent decline from 1,576 units to 1,487.
Inventory is also starting to pile up. There were 6,292 active single-family home listings in the second quarter, up 10.7 year-over-year. Condo supply exploded by 18.6 percent to 14,093 active listings.
The slowdown’s effects are starting to pronounce themselves. In downtown Miami, arguably the county’s most visible condo market, prices recently fell for the first time in five years. — Sean Stewart-Muniz
