FAQ
Rent vs. own, answered.
What is the reSpace Wealth Gap Calculator?
A two-minute tool that shows what renting costs you in Seattle versus what owning a private suite through reSpace could build instead.
Is co-homeownership really cheaper than renting in Seattle?
reSpace homes start at $179,000, roughly what a one-bedroom rents for in Seattle. Instead of paying a landlord, you own a private suite and build wealth over time.
Why does renting cost more in the long run?
Rent builds nothing, every payment is gone. With ownership, your payments go toward a home you keep and can sell later.
