YES we struggled with that decision as well! Paying rent seems like throwing money out the window! Decided a year's rent is better than making an impulsive decision to buy and end up selling. The cost of living and selling a house is very expensive compared to our home state. So, from our perspective, it is better to lose a year's rent than to later lose even MORE money on selling a house that was lived in for a short time.
