Should I buy or rent a home in Estoril?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Estoril, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"The decision to buy or rent a home in Estoril, largely depends on your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term plans. If you plan to stay in Estoril for a long period, buying a home could be a good investment. Portugal's real estate market has been steadily growing, and owning a property could provide you with a valuable asset in the future. On the other hand, if you're not sure about your long-term plans or if you prefer not to have the responsibilities that come with homeownership, renting might be a better option. Renting can offer more flexibility, as it's easier to move if your circumstances change. It also allows you to avoid the costs and responsibilities of property maintenance and repairs. It's also important to consider the cost of living in Estoril. While it's a beautiful and desirable location, it's also one of the more expensive areas in Portugal. Therefore, whether you choose to buy or rent, you should ensure that it fits within your budget. Lastly, it's worth considering the current state of the housing market in Estoril. If property prices are high, it might be more cost-effective to rent until prices become more affordable. Conversely, if property prices are low or expected to rise, it could be a good time to buy. In conclusion, the decision to buy or rent a home in Estoril should be based on your personal and financial circumstances, as well as the current state of the housing market. It's always a good idea to seek advice from a real estate professional or financial advisor before making such a significant decision," commented one expat who made the move to Estoril, Portugal.
