About this listen
Is buying a home always the best financial move—or could renting actually make more sense? With home prices on the rise and interest rates fluctuating, what are the real cost and benefits to buying a home?
In this episode of Pocket Hours, Jennifer Nelson sits down with financial advisor Josh Whelan to talk about all the nuances of the rent vs. buy debate, especially in the context of the Seattle real estate market.
Jennifer and Josh’s conversation gets into a provocative New York Times article that suggests renting may be the smarter financial decision. Together, they explore the emotional, practical, and financial dimensions of homeownership and renting.
Their conversation includes everything from lifestyle flexibility to long-term financial planning, and encourages listeners to consider not just their bank accounts, but also their values and goals when deciding where—and how—to live.
