Over Time
Where the lines cross.
The chart estimates cumulative net cost by year. Break-even happens when the buying line falls below the renting line.
Renting net cost Buying net cost
Short stays can favor flexibility.
Transaction costs matter more when you sell quickly.
Buying improves when time works for you.
Principal paydown and appreciation can shift the math.
Vegas and Reno are not the same market.
Neighborhood, HOA, tax, and inventory details can change the answer.
Questions
Before you decide.
Is this a mortgage quote?
No. This is a planning estimate. A lender can give you exact payment, PMI, and closing-cost numbers.
What does break-even mean?
It is the first year where the estimated net cost of buying is less than or equal to the estimated net cost of renting.
Why include selling costs?
Because the real question is not just monthly payment. It is what happens if you need to sell at the end of your timeline.
