Is it better to rent or buy? Try our calculator based on two decades of historical data on property prices, rents and more. Buying a property is the largest buy most Canadians will make in their lifetime. But strictly financially speaking, are you better off putting down a large down payment. And facing higher monthly costs as an owner, or remaining a renter and investing your savings somewhere else? Don't miss our simulator below. To answer this question, we analyzed over two decades of historical data on property prices, rents, inflation. And interest rates across 22 Canadian metropolitan areas, alongside long-term stock market returns. Using this data, we built an interactive simulator. Every time it runs, it calculates the monthly expenses and financial gains for three distinct paths, an owner with a fixed-rate mortgage, one with a variable-rate mortgage. And a renter.
