With the housing market at an optimal time for buyers, many renters are wondering if now is truly the right time to consider buying a first home. In Chicago, we reported that it is, in fact, much more economical to buy a home rather than rent one - and now more than ever according to Zillow.

Check out this compelling infographic to learn more.

When the market requires, on average, 29.5% of your income to rent a home and a mere 15.3% to be able to buy one, the figures really don't even come close to one another. Buying a home is exceptionally economical, even for the Millennials who don't believe they have enough for a down payment (when in reality, most do.)
