I had a customer ask me the other day about the rental rates for 2015. The market has been on a decline lately, with home rental prices dropping 20% in the last 2 years.
 
We can say that if demand continues to decline, and with the fact that we have a huge number of apartment units coming onto the market in Houston, things are bound to get weaker in the rental market. If you are thinking about leasing a home, it's still more expensive to lease than it is to purchase a home. Typically, mortgage payments can be as much as 40-50% of what your rent payment would be.
