Matthew Jackson+FollowRenting vs buying: What’s smarter for Sarasota retirees?For retirees in Sarasota, the classic dream of homeownership might not be the best fit anymore. With rent and homeownership costs nearly neck-and-neck, many are realizing that renting can offer just as much comfort—plus more flexibility and less hassle. No surprise repair bills, no property taxes, and the freedom to move when you want are big perks.

Which would you choose for your golden years: the freedom of renting or the roots of ownership? #RealEstate #Sarasota #RetirementLiving00Share
