Should I buy or rent a home in Medellin?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Medellin, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Medellin can be a great investment. The city is known for its vibrant culture, beautiful scenery, and affordable cost of living. The real estate market is also very attractive, with prices that are lower than in many other cities in the region. Renting a home in Medellin can also be a great option, as it allows you to experience the city without the commitment of buying a home. You can also take advantage of the city's many amenities, such as its excellent public transportation system and its many parks and recreational areas. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Medellin will depend on your individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat in Medellin, Colombia.
"We built a beautiful country home. Again, the family helped throughout this process. From land purchase to completion of the house took a total of around 18 months," said a member in Medellin, Colombia.
