From a 2014 Forbes article:

    Homeownership remains cheaper than renting nationally and in all of the 100 largest metro areas. In fact, buying is 38% cheaper than renting now, compared with 35% cheaper than renting one year ago.

Of course, this probably doesn't include maintenance costs, which can be steep.
