A ratio of 15 or less shows that buying is the better strategy while a ratio of 21 or higher is an indication that renting is a stronger option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If just the ratio is considered and the additional monthly costs that occur with a house are not factored in, it is better to buy a home in 18 of the 50 most populous U.S. metros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Clever Real Estate data, Cleveland is the best major city for homebuyers with a price to rent ratio of 11. Cleveland also has the lowest average home prices at $187,413 of the 50 most-populous U.S. metros. The national price to rent average is 14.3 which is an increase from 13 in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data found that the average monthly mortgage payment in Cleveland was only $1,331, while the average rent hit $1,426 which is $95 more per month, or $1,140 yearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Jose, which was the most expensive metro the study looked found that renters there could save a shocking $5,598 per month when compared to purchasing a home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study found that <strong>most affordable cities for home buyers<\/strong> based on price-to-rent ratios are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
