Should I buy or rent a home in Cairo?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Cairo, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"When deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Cairo, it is important to consider the cost of living, the availability of housing, and the local economy. Buying a home in Cairo can be a great investment, as property values tend to appreciate over time. However, it is important to consider the cost of purchasing a home, as well as the cost of maintenance and upkeep. Renting a home in Cairo can be a more affordable option, as it does not require a large upfront investment. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility, as it is easier to move if needed. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Cairo should be based on individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat in Cairo, Egypt.
