Trulia affirms that it is less expensive to buy your home in Sacramento!

Trulia says in Sacramento it is more affordable to buy a home vs rent.
Well, I suppose the words "I told you so" may be fitting today? Last week, the real estate website Trulia put out a study on real estate markets where buying a home is more cost effective (aka, cheaper!) than renting a home. Sacramento ranked well on the purchase affordability scale.

Nearly 2.5 months ago, I did my own little study on the cost of renting a Sacramento home vs the cost of buying a home in a few different neighborhoods (Natomas - 95833, 95834, 95835; Elk Grove / Laguna - 95757, 95758; Rosemont / College Greens -- 95826, 95827; Arden - 95821, 95825, 95864; Carmichael / Fair Oaks - 95608, 95628; Citrus Heights / Orangevale - 95610, 95621, 95662; and South Land Park / Pocket/Greenhaven - 95822, 95831) in the Sacramento area.
