From what I’m seeing with friends in NJ, people are still buying but only if they plan to stay put a long time. The monthly on rent can def be cheaper right now, especially with rates, but as a nurse I think about stability and not getting priced out later, ya know. Jersey City/Newark are wild lately, so some are renting and stacking cash, c’est la vie. Equity matters but so does sleep and stress levels, prob depends on life stage. I’d rent short term unless the numbers feel comfortable long term.
