Pay Less, Live More

With rising interest rates, many home shoppers feel the pressure to act now, sacrificing time and money. While rates are steadily increasing, renting a home of similar value is generally less expensive than purchasing. Homebuyers continue to feel the weight of fluctuating mortgage rates, insurance and taxes, while those who rent enjoy fixed leasing costs at their fingertips.
The National Association of Realtors reports that the national median price for a single-family home is $410,100, which makes the monthly mortgage approximately $2,124 with a 20% down payment. The thousands of dollars are invested in maintenance fees, HOA dues and insurance are excluded from that amount. Homebuyers also pay property taxes, a financial consideration that renters are exempt from.
Unlike the additional expenses associated with purchasing a home, only a security deposit is required to claim a residence at The Cottages. You enjoy upfront pricing, and your credit score will grow exponentially as you continue to make payments. A good credit score is your ticket to favorable interest rates and monetary opportunities in the future.
The average price of rent for a single-family home at the end of 2024 was approximately $2,050. Ranch Cottages for Rent presents a range of leasing options, many starting from $1,800’s. The monthly rate also includes access to The Cottage’s coveted onsite amenities, 24/7 emergency maintenance and onsite management that promptly meets your needs. Forget about mowing the lawn on the weekends; your lease also covers exterior upkeep!
As you settle into life at your cottage home, feel free to invest time in what matters most to you—your career, hobbies, family gatherings and other personal pursuits. Renting removes the stress of financial constraints, inviting you to live more and worry less! So, take that trip you’ve always dreamed of or put the extra money into an emergency fund for safekeeping.
