Renting vs owning, Jenna Sanchez, Realtor, Realty ONE Group

With interest rates dipping and rental prices still on the rise, many Arizona residents are asking: is it cheaper to rent or buy in 2025? The answer might surprise you.

In many areas like Goodyear, Avondale, and Buckeye, monthly mortgage payments are now comparable—or even lower—than rent for similar homes. Plus, owning builds equity, offers tax benefits, and gives you long-term stability.

Reach out and I'll break down your real numbers and help you decide what makes sense for your situation. Buying may be more within reach than you think.
