for about a year and a half. and i don't know. it just seems the right time. >> of course, at bay area prices owning isn't easy. >> when you talk to friends in other parts of the country, they can't believe what we pay for houses here. >> right. >> can you believe what we pay? >> it's hard to believe when you look what's available in the rest of the country. >> for their real estate agent, sticker shock is part of the game. >> how challenging is it for you when you find the couple coming from some other part of the country where a 3,000 square foot home went for $295,000. >> it's an eye opener. there are times when we try to educate them before they an rbi. >> reporter: which is why steve harny offers this advise. >> there's a could the o cost going in and coming out. if you're not going to stay in a house about five years, it probably doesn't make sense. >> reporter: with both the cost to own and rent in the bay area among the most expensive in the country, the question is how to decide which is the best for you. part of the answer involves timing.

years. but for eric and liz, buying their first house is about more than just math. >> eric, what do you think when you hear about your friends making that decision it's too expensive here in california and they leave to buy houses for so much less? >> it's tempting to follow suit but our families are here. we wouldn't want to leave our families. >> this is home. >> yeah, this is home for us. >> this is home. but eric and liz are still looking for the perfect house to buy. the one i fewered with them the other day was close but not just right. so they'll still keep looking. > from buying to renting, renters rights are also what we need to talk about as part of our housing week. >> on your side's michael finney is answering your questions in our rent area's how ter's hot l >> people are calling in what are the laws in their sfepz most cities and counties here in, it, got dark. most cities and counties here in the san francisco bay area do
