To help you answer that question, here are things you can consider:
1. Ownership. Buying a house can you a sense of security and stability. You will be able to fully own the house or property after paying off your mortgage and need not worry about paying for somewhere to live for the rest of your life. With your own home, you are free to make improvements and renovate without the need to ask a landlord's permission. It is also an asset that you can use as equity to fund a small business, a bigger house, or other purposes.
