To Rent or To Buy?
The Deseret News on June 14 featured a story on renting vs. buying. The
story cited a survey by the National Association of Home Builders in
which 31 percent of respondents said their biggest barrier to owning a
home was saving for a down payment.
REALTOR Carolyn Kirkham was quoted in the story as saying this past winter was one of the slowest in her 20-year career, but this past spring has been one of the busiest she can recall.
"Last week she wrote offers in a single day on homes for two young couples who'd been saving and had found their dream homes," the story said. "It's a fact that the very downturn that has so many people upside down in homes...has also put home ownership within reach for many first-time home buyers."
