हल किया गया उदाहरण
A home costs $400,000 to buy, while comparable rentals cost $2,200 per month.
- Annual rent: $2,200 x 12 = $26,400
- Price-to-rent ratio: $400,000 / $26,400 = 15.2
- Rent as % of price: $26,400 / $400,000 x 100 = 6.60%
- A ratio of 15.2 is in the neutral zone, slightly favoring buying
