Rent vs. Own

 

Q.

I am currently renting a home in east Lancaster for $1300 per month. I am considering buying a home but I don’t know where to start.

 

A.

 

Many families who are currently renting have made the decision and taken the steps to become homeowners.

 

The Savvy renter understands that they can pay much less per month to own their own home in than to continue renting.

 

RE/MAX All-Pro listed this home in East Lancaster for $103,900, and I think it’s a great example of what we are talking about today. We have Gabby Godde with Mountain West Financial here within the Re/Max All Pro office to talk about the financial aspects of purchasing a home like this with you.

 

 

So with average rents in East Lancaster ranging from $1200-$1400 per month, we are talking about a savings between $200-300 per month

 

Current housing market conditions in Lancaster and Palmdale makes for a strong and compelling case for homeownership. With prices still well below the historic highs of just a few years ago and attractive mortgage rates, qualified buyers have a unique opportunity to own their own home.

It is important to consider all aspects of purchasing a home. There are costs of homeownership that are not included in this breakdown such as the maintenance and utilities of a home; however, there are also some compelling reasons to strive for the “American Dream.”

Lancaster, CA. 10/20/2011 – The crime rate in the City of Lancaster continues to be down in 2011, with a 16% reduction in crime for the first nine months of the year. Based on statistics reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), the crime rate for violent crimes, comprised of homicide, rape, robbery, and assault, dropped 12.3% in the first nine months of 2011, while the crime rate for property crimes, comprised of burglary, larceny/theft, grand theft auto, and arson, declined more than 17% for the same period. Projected through 2011 at current rates, Lancaster’s crime rate will have dropped more than 40% over the past four years. The residents and businesses of Lancaster, working actively with the City and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, have made Lancaster a much safer City.

“Hard work by our neighborhoods and businesses, along with an unwavering commitment to public safety by the City Council and Criminal Justice Commission, continues to pay big dividends in keeping our City safe,” stated Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. “As always, primary credit goes to Sheriff Baca and our brave Deputy Sheriffs, who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to protect us.”

For the first nine months of 2011, the City’s 16% crime rate reduction resulted in 303 fewer serious crimes when compared to the same period in 2010 (3,011 vs. 3,314), a 9.1% decline in the actual number of crimes. The 16% decline in the crime rate takes into account the increase in Lancaster’s population, from a reported 145,875 in 2010 (State Department of Finance 2010) to 157,795 for 2011 (State Department of Finance 2011).

Below is a summary of the percentage changes from the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 in the Part I crimes that comprise the City’s crime rate:

Change from crime rate (9mo.)

Total Crimes(9mo)

Part l Crime	2010	2011
Homicide	7	2
Rape	50	31
Robbery	193	213
Assault	445	413
Burglary	794	705
Larceny/Theft	1,460	1,343
Grand Theft Auto	331	279
Arson	34	25

“While we are encouraged by 2011 crime reductions to date, we are ever vigilant in quickly addressing emerging trends. For instance, when we saw a spike in robberies, we immediately formed and deployed a Robbery Suppression Team. They have been active for just over six weeks now and have already made several arrests and solved many cases,” stated Lancaster Sheriff’s Captain Robert Jonsen. “We will continue this proactive approach to fighting crime.”

“Our City staff takes great pride in working towards keeping Lancaster safe,” added Lancaster City Manager Mark V. Bozigian. “I would like to particularly commend our Public Safety Office and our Community Service Officers for their outstanding contributions towards public safety.”

“While we can take a moment to celebrate crime reduction, we must also realize that we face new challenges daily,” said Mayor Parris. “We will continue to be successful because we have the right team in place and a community focused on keeping our neighborhoods safe.”
