I've heard people say they want to buy because they're tired of "throwing their money away." I think it's easy to underestimate how much money homeowners pay every month and never see again. I love the house I own but I don't know if I would have bought it for purely financial reasons. Though living in Washington DC, Zillow claims it's now worth a lot of money (which isn't really relevant to me since I'm not going anywhere for a long time).
