Of the 23 cities covered in the index, 16 of them, including Dallas, are in rent territory, meaning renting and reinvesting, on average, will outperform owning and building equity in terms of wealth creation.
Other cities the index predicts will experience downward pressure on ownership demand are: Atlanta; Denver; Honolulu; Houston; Kansas City, Mo.; Los Angeles; Miami; Minneapolis; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Portland, Ore.; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle; and St. Louis.
According to Eli Beracha, co-creator of the index and director of the Hollo School of Real Estate at FIU, recent jumps in home prices play a big role in moving the market to benefit renters.
