This is one of the most common questions I hear: “Is it cheaper to rent or buy right now?”

Renting in 2025

• Average rent for a 3-bedroom in North Texas: around $2,200–$2,800/month

• No equity is built—your money goes straight to the landlord

• Flexibility if you’re not sure where you’ll be long-term

Buying in 2025

• Mortgage payments for similar homes can be equal or less than rent (especially with builder incentives)

• Build equity over time

• Tax benefits + stability for your family

Local Example

In Justin, a home priced at $350,000 with builder incentives could cost around $2,200/month with today’s rates—similar to rent, but you’re investing in your future.

👉 Takeaway: If you plan to stay in North Texas for 2–3+ years, buying is almost always the smarter long-term choice.
