• Introducing LeaseLens: how the rent-vs-buy math actually works

Run it on your actual lease

These figures describe a typical renter. Upload your lease and LeaseLens computes the same comparison on your real rent, income, and savings, then watches the market for you.

Data updated September 4, 2026.

How these numbers are computed

Every figure comes from the same engine that powers the LeaseLens comparison, run over live inventory in 22213: rent medians from active rental listings, ownership costs from the engine's top-matched-homes construction, and the crossover year from its 30-year net worth projection. The reference buyer is a solo renter with good credit, a $100k income, 20 percent down, and cash covering the close. Your own lease and finances will move every number, which is what the full comparison is for.
