I’m actually paying less for my home than I was renting. I’m a first time homeowner, and my mortgage, property taxes (which went up 15% a couple of years ago), homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance combined are less than what I was paying in rent. I live in east central Wisconsin. Home prices and rents have gone up, but are still less than many places. If you like shitty weather most of the year, it’s actually a pretty decent place to live, LOL!
