Stocks or first home

[julius urbonas 0]

Hello. I’m new here with probably an old dilemma. I have bunch of stocks, if I sold them I would have enough cash for my first home. At the moment I’m renting. Let’s say I can get average 10% return from stocks annually. Obviously rent money are lost money. So I wonder if I’m better off keeping the stocks renting for now and keep saving for deposit, or sell them and buy home right now and stop wasting money on rent. Any thoughts on it? How can I calculate which is better? There is so much to take in I don’t even know where to start. Any help, direction, or suggested resources would be much appreciated. Thank you
