Questions people ask

Why does how long I stay matter so much?

Buying front-loads big costs — down payment, closing, and the first years of a mortgage that are mostly interest. Time is what lets equity and appreciation catch up and pass those costs.

What isn't included here?

To stay honest and simple, this leaves out tax deductions, PMI, HOA dues, and the return you'd earn investing your down payment if you rented. Those can shift the answer — which a pro can model for you.
