I've heard so many reasons to Own vs Renting, I'm sure you know which side I'm choosing.  Here is a link to  a RENT vs OWN calculator that can help you make up your mind.  Also an article that I just read, which may also help you to make up your mind.

Thank you Kaycee for providing this information

Mortgage Insurance premium rates:

• April 5, 2010, the Up-Front rate will increase from 1.75% to 2.25%.
• FHA will not immediately change annual mortgage insurance (MI) rates because they are already at the statutory maximum rate (*currently 0.50% for < 95% Loan To Value and 0.55% for > 95% Loan To Value).  
• FHA is current seeking legislative authority to increase the annual MIP that FHA can charge.  The annual rates will be adjusted if FHA's request to increase the rates is granted by Congress.
• Maximum seller concessions will be reduced from 6% to 3%
