San Antonio Real Estate: Leasing VS Buying

SAN ANTONIO, TX — The option to lease a home instead of buying is something more and more people in the San antonio area are considering.

The shift, it seems, is driven by the young professional who is drawn to the urban setting and looks for easy access to work or public transportation, instead of feeding any desire to buy a home in suburbia.

While most consider the conveinence of maintenance for home repairs, lower utility costs, no property taxes and the flexibility and convenience of not having a yard to maintain, others who are new to the Alamo City may look for residential homes for lease that have an option to buy.

The best place to find those homes is in the Patch real estate guide compiled by our friends at realtor.com, which has every type of home from the small apartment or condo to the 3-bedroom starter home or larger homes.

Whether you love to lease or you're just doing it for a little while, Patch and realtor.com have the answers and the listings.
