Most buyers live in their new home an average of seven years. If that fits you, it almost always makes sense to buy rather than rent. 

Purchasing a home allows you to reduce your income taxes by deducting property taxes and mortgage interest.  If you are trying to "time the market" and get the very best deal, it is almost impossible to do, even in a declining market.  If you try to perfectly time the bottom of the market you may miss it and then be forced to buy higher or just keep waiting. 

I can tell you which homes in Montville are priced correctly, where the best deals are and what to avoid.
