Should I buy or rent a home in Lisbon?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Lisbon, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Lisbon can be a great investment. The city is known for its vibrant culture, beautiful architecture, and stunning beaches. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other European cities, and the real estate market is booming. Renting a home in Lisbon 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 short-term rental options, which can be a great way to explore the city without breaking the bank. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Lisbon will depend on your individual needs and budget," remarked another expat who made the move to Lisbon, Portugal.
