[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say “he seemed ok with it” doesn’t mean he really was ok with it. Judging that he’s bringing it up again, he’s not ok with it. 
Maybe to him, it seems like your stalling buying a house and he worries he will be stuck in an apartment forever never getting equity. Obviously, you just moved so you may have a lease your locked into currently. Maybe talk to a financial planner who knows a real estate person together, let the expert look at your specific numbers, and they can give you some expert advice. Might be the best money spent.

OP here. I don’t think his is it. We have rented and collectively decided buying a house wouldn’t make sense until we had multiple kids. We enjoy living in the city and don’t want to move to the suburbs until we need to. He think wasting the money ( rent is $6000/month on rent + utilities) is a lot and we could use that to build equity in a condo. I don’t think the condo is a smart purchase and the monthly payment will be same. We have done research and it just doesn’t make sense to buy a condo and resell. That will lead to a longer commute and we will lose a lot of the amenities we have now.

$6000/month on rent? That’s crazy. [/quote]

They might be in NYC where that isn't crazy at all for a 2b/2b in a good part of the city.

Wherever you are, OP, there are calculators online rent vs buy, which I'm guessing you have already done. I feel certain rent is going to win in your situation, regardless of commute and/or amenities. [/quote]

OP here. No. We are in downtown Chicago ( streeterville). The 2bd 2ba condo is $799 and will come out to about the same monthly payment with HOA fees, etc. [/quote]
