The NY Times has a good rent vs buy calculator that can help people run numbers to see if buying makes sense for them.

I am in the LA area. If you can buy, do it now. Find a way to buy. This opportunity will not be here for a long long time. Low rate, low price, Demand is moving up starting this year. I guess that the bank is controlling the inflow of the foreclosure properties. Price is hard to drop further in this area. good luck and have fun.

With interest rates so low right now, this is an interesting topic.  If you can buy a house, you should!  We may never see rates this low again!
