One reason to buy a home instead of rent is that homes can appreciate in value over time. If you're simply renting a home, then as real estate prices rise, you won't see any increase in the value of your property, since you don't own it. Buying a home has a higher cost to maintain, requires more money upfront, and is less of a flexible option.
