Cool calculator.
One thing that is missing is the opportunity cost of the down payment.
Also, in fairness, the renter scenario should be a smart renter that invests their money. Typically, a renter will have lower monthly housing costs in the beginning and will have more money for investment.
Ideally, the net worth should be compared after 25 years or something.
