Buying a Home in 2026

A new year often brings a quiet but powerful question: where do I want my life to be heading?

For many people, buying a home sits high on that list - but it’s also one of the hardest resolutions to act on.

Saving a large deposit while renting, navigating rising costs, and feeling unsure about mortgage readiness can make buying feel distant. That’s where rent-to-own offers a more realistic starting point.

With Keyzy rent-to-own, buying a home doesn’t have to begin with a mortgage application. It can begin with renting - intentionally.

Rent to Own: A Fresh Approach

Rent-to-own is designed for people who want to buy a home, but need time on their side.

Instead of renting while waiting for the “right moment,” rent-to-own lets you move into a home now, with the option to buy later. It’s a way to live in a home you could eventually own, without an upfront deposit or rushing major financial decisions.

How Rent-to-Own Works

1. Rent Your Future Home

Start by renting a Keyzy home for two years. The rent is fixed for the full term, meaning:

• No surprise rent increases
• No annual negotiations
• No upfront deposit
• Clear, predictable monthly payments

This stability allows you to plan confidently while living in the home you may soon own.

2. Use Time to Get Mortgage-Ready

Rent-to-own isn’t just about waiting - it’s about preparing.

Those two years can be used to:

• Improve your credit profile
• Increase your income or savings
• Understand what mortgage options may be available to you
• Plan your purchase without pressure

It turns time into an advantage, rather than a delay.

3. Use Your Rent as a Deposit

If you decide to buy, all the rent you’ve paid is used as your deposit.

If you don’t, there’s no obligation to proceed.

That flexibility is core to the rent-to-own model - it’s about giving you options, not locking you in.

Why This Year Can Be Different

Buying a home often feels overwhelming because everything is expected to happen at once: saving, applying, committing.

Rent-to-own separates those steps.

Instead of trying to be mortgage-ready immediately, you can:

• Start living in your future home
• Build toward ownership gradually
• Make decisions with more clarity and less pressure

It’s still a commitment - but one that unfolds over time.

If buying a home is part of your long-term plan, this could be the year you begin - not by rushing, but by setting yourself up properly.
