Where should you buy, or should you keep renting?
A heat map of appreciation is not a household plan. The decision is which place, at a price you can carry, beats renting or waiting after job and tax constraints.
Argumont is decision support. It is not tax, legal, real estate, or financial advice. Licensed work stays with licensed people.
What the question is really asking
It often hides 'should I buy at all' and 'which metro keeps my job.' Split those. A city that looks cheap can be expensive if pay disappears.
Name two or three places plus rent-in-place.
How Argumont treats it
Each location or path is an option. Argumont does not predict prices. User-confirmed budgets stay labeled as yours.
Example
Buy near the current job, buy in a cheaper remote metro, or rent two more years. Score carrying cost, work access, and exit.
