Buying or renting in Paso Robles California
- Real Estate Relocation
See the AskMe Feature Below.
Many potential home owners hesitate about entering the Paso Robles California real estate market because they feel that “owning costs too much.” But the fact is that after you consider income tax deductions, personal freedom, rent increases, and the accumulation of wealth through growing home equity, renters actually not only pay more, they also stand to lose tens of thousands of dollars of net worth.
Tax Deduction
As someone owning real estate in Paso Robles California, you will be able to deduct most of your monthly mortgage interest payments from your taxable income. As a result, your actual out-of-pocket home costs will run – depending on your combined federal, state and local income tax rates - 20 to 40 percent less than the amount of the check you write each month for your mortgage payment.
Freedom to make where you live your “home”
If you decide to rent a home in Paso Robles California, you are living in someone else’s property. Any improvement, decoration, change has to be approved by the landlord. Some landlords here in Paso Robles California are great to rent from – others may not be such diligent landlords! You are not free to express yourself and make the place your own if you decide to rent a home in Paso Robles California. Homeownership gives you the freedom to do what you want with your home – whether it’s purple walls, beautiful wallpaper or a hand laid brick patio for your enjoyment!
Rents will go up
Sometimes, even after allowing for tax benefits, the monthly costs of owning may still look higher than renting. But that is a short term view. Today’s rent and mortgage payments are 10 to 20 times higher than they were 30 years ago. Back in the late 50’s you could rent or buy an average home for between $25 to $150 a month. Those wise buyers who locked in their housing payment 30 years ago avoided all the increases over the years that their renting contemporaries had to endure. Similarly, locking in your housing payment today will insure insulation from future cost-of-living increases that will affect the rental market over the next 10 to 20 years. In the year 2020, today’s rent and mortgage prices will seem ridiculously low! The difference will be that you will still be paying those ridiculously low housing payments if you choose to buy a home from one of the many houses for sale in Paso Robles California!
Equity Build Up
Over the last 200 years, home prices in across the country have appreciated rapidly, at other times depreciated. But on the whole, homeowners have always built more wealth than renters. Even if your home doesn’t appreciate (a highly unlikely event), at the end of your mortgage term, you will own a valuable asset free and clear. You’ll own nothing if you continue to rent during that time. But if your home does appreciate, your equity will be worth much more than you have paid for it, even factoring in interest payments.
When is it a good time to rent?
If you are only going to be in Paso Robles California for a short amount of time you may want to consider renting rather than buying. Normally you have to own a home for a couple of years to realize enough profit from appreciation to pay for selling expenses. Talk to your Paso Robles New Quest City agent to see how long you would have to own a home to be able to break even when you sell.

Paso Robles (full name: El Paso de Robles) is a city in San Luis Obispo County, California, United States. The population was 24,297 at the 2000 census. A resort city located on the Salinas River north of San Luis Obispo, California, it is known for its hot springs, and for playing host to the California Mid-State Fair. In English, the name means "Oak Pass" or "The Pass of the Oaks." This beautiful, rolling hills area of the Central Coast that we know as the City of El Paso de Robles or Paso Robles and “Paso” to locals, has always been renowned for thermal springs. The Salinan Indians—the most historical inhabitants of the area—were here thousands of years even before the mission era. They knew this area as the “Springs” or the “Hot Springs.” The Indians, and later the Mission Fathers and their congregations, found relief from various ailments in the therapeutic waters and soothing mud baths. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
