How do we measure rents? To track rents, we use the Zillow Rent Index (ZRI). The
ZRI is the midpoint of estimated rents in a given region. Half the estimated rental prices
are above this number and half are below.
What is the Breakeven Horizon? The Breakeven Horizon in the number of years you
must live in a home before owning the same home becomes more financially advantageous
than renting the home. For example, if ’City X’ had a Breakeven Horizon of 5.5 years,
it is financially better for you to rent in ’City X’ unless you plan on living there for more
than 5.5 years.
