Apples to Apples: to Buy or to Rent?

Let’s start from putting forward a disappointing thesis: when it comes to apartments (or any other residential real estate you are considering to acquire to live in at this point), unfortunately, the short answer to this question is that there really is no golden rule here (although you may find many that think otherwise) but to closely examine and analyse every particular case (or better yet, a few comparable cases), taking into account current and future (estimated) market conditions, as well as your own financial situation, investment objectives, risk appetite, and time horizon. The outcome will vary, based on the hard numbers and assumptions being used, and what looks good to one, may not to another.

Having said that, in this article we want to examine one particular case by analyzing two comparable apartments we have written about before – one available for rent, and the other listed for sale (currently with a contract signed). They are, respectively, apartments #201 and #401, located at 370 Central Park West in New York City. As you can see from the address, they are both located in the same building and even in the same line, where #401 is just two flights above #201. While they share the same footprint, their interior layout vary slightly. We are guessing that #201 represents the original layout of this line, and #401 had been modified. Still, they are close enough to call them apples-to-apples, at least for the purpose of this exercise. [more]
