If you pay $1k in rent now, your saving from tax with mortgage might very well be more than $300. Plus, you are protected against inflation in the future. However, you need to make sure you can afford a mortgage of this size and enough savings to pay all expenses for around 3 months (at least), in case you lose your job.
