Should I buy or rent a home in Winterthur?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Winterthur, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Winterthur is a personal decision that depends on a variety of factors such as your budget, lifestyle, and the current real estate market. Buyers must consider whether they can reasonably afford a home, as well as the closing costs associated with a home purchase. If you're not ready to commit to a long-term mortgage or don't have the money available to purchase a home in Winterthur, then renting may be the better option. Speak to a real estate expert to get a better understanding of the current real estate market and what kind of rates you can expect. They may also be able to give you tips on the best neighborhoods for housing in Winterthur and what kind of rental agreements are available in the city," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Winterthur, Switzerland.
