My new husband and I are looking to buy a home. Everything out there is sooo expensive. I was just wondering how many of you rent vs owning a home. If you do own a home, what town.

Thanks

We bought our house in Stewart Manor six months before the wedding. Between the down payment and footing 70% of the wedding, I am looking forward to once again having a savings account with a positive balance...hopefully that will be sometime soon!!

We still rent and probably will do so for another year until we have enough $$ to buy....but we may have to move before that!
My job wants to transfer me to Charlotte, NC!

We rent in Babylon until we can afford a house, but will look into condos soon.

We're currently renting in Southold but have just begun to talk to mortgage people and are kind of looking for a house to buy since we have to be out of our place by April.
Just don't know that it's gonna happen though. LI prices are soo crazy!!!

Re: How many newlywedes own a home

we are renting in queens right now... waiting until DH finishes school to look into purchasing something. We were looking into a condo but everything is soo much $$$ in the neighborhoods we want! Our rent is really good here for a big duplex apartment so we decided to sign another year onto our lease and try to save, save, save!

Re: How many newlywedes own a home

We have an apartment and pay rent Can't afford a house...but the landlords are my parents cuz they own the house and so we get to pay cheap rent which allows us to save a little (what we can after paying bills...LOL) Maybe one day we'll have a house. They are so expensive!!!
