I sit corrected! Fieldschester can initiate new posts after all. I can't, though.

The best way to do this that I know of right now is Trulia's rent v. buy calculator:

More generally it's real estate v. financial markets, and opportunity costs, and risks. I don't think there's a simple answer.

Its a specific question - is your apartment or house volatile? Some posters are talking about specifically the volatility of owning a single residence.
