Renting can literally NEVER be cheaper than buying, because the landlord's mortgage MUST be less than the rent you're paying! If you'd had the option to buy the same place for what the landlord did, you'd be paying significantly less each month.
So what you mean is, landlords bought up all the cheap housing and all that's left to buy is what they can't bleed a profit out of.

Buy me a house then, if they're so much cheaper than renting.
I'll wait.
