My home's mortgage + escrow payment is ~$200/mo more than the apartment I moved from. Of course there are additional costs, I now water a lawn in addition to my usual water usage, I have to factor in some savings for repairs, etc, so closer to ~$650/mo increase.
But in the end I have 2.5x the square footage, a private yard/pool/grill vs. community, a two-car private garage with guaranteed electric vehicle charging, the ability to furnish however I wish, and to top it off much less reduced risk of housing inflation (a very real concern).
Nine years ago in the same market where I own my house an apartment unit I used to rent was ~$900/mo. The same unit on the market today is $2,352/mo. Even if home values increase and my property taxes jump it won't jump that high.
