If you look at the the ratio of rent to home price in many market, you'll clearly see the "premium price you need to pay to own a house.

For example, In Boston, you can rent a two bedroom in a nice area for $1,200 per month; to purchase it, it would cost roughly $400,000 with and a monthly expense of roughly $3,000. You feel me now!

Also a currently rents are currently at their lowest price ever compared with home prices...
