Rent to own Homes in Auburn, NY

Auburn may be called History's Hometown, but it still has a lot going on today. This city of nearly 27,700 in Cayuga County not only serves as the county seat, but also is a place where the arts thrive, where good food can be savored, and where old architecture prevails. Auburn also sits within the Finger Lakes region -- one of the northeast's most gorgeous areas. When all of that is put together, it's clear that folks can't go wrong if they make Auburn their home.

Auburn, NY is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $43,555 and a median rent of $743, the Auburn, NY rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Auburn, NY. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

Go out and have a ball! Auburn has a thriving social scene, so don's miss out. Catch a comedy show or concert at the iconic Auburn Public Theater. Have a meal at Moro's Table. Have a drink at Swaby's Tavern. By some antiques at Timeless Treasures Past and Present Shop. Or just head to the downtown area and see where the night leads. There's plenty to see, eat, and drink.
