Hi Thyagu, buying a house can be a good long-term investment. You build equity over time and benefit from property appreciation. However, it requires a more cost and long-term financial commitment.

Renting offers more flexibility. If your job requires you to move frequently, renting might be a better option. You may also avoid property maintenance costs

If property prices are low, it might be a good time to buy. But if the market is unstable, renting could be a safer choice until things settle down.

think about your financial stability. Do you have enough savings for a down payment and emergency funds? Buying a house is a big financial commitment and you need to be prepared for unexpected expenses.

If you plan to stay in one place for a long time, buying can be more economical. Renting might seem cheaper in short term, but over many years, those rental payments add up without giving you any ownership.

consider consulting a financial advisor. They can help you evaluate your financial situat
