It depends on the market. Price to rent ratios can vary a ton.[1] The link is from 2016, but the extremes are:
San Francisco 48x (housing price is 48x monthly rent)
Detroit 6.5x
The neutral rent to price ratio is ~15. If it's higher than that, it's better to rent. If it's lower, it's better to buy.
