In some housing markets, it can take decades for a new homeowner to break even on the cost of buying, according to MarketWatch.

The outlet says that in those places, renting and investing can build wealth faster than purchasing a home outright.

MarketWatch frames the difference as a long break-even timeline that can make buying less attractive than renting plus investing in select markets.
