Should I buy or rent a home in Estonia?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Estonia, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Estonia can be a great investment, as the country has a strong economy and a growing real estate market. However, it is important to consider the costs associated with buying a home, such as closing costs, taxes, and maintenance. Renting a home in Estonia can be a more affordable option, as it does not require a large upfront investment. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility, as it allows you to move more easily if your circumstances change. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Estonia should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," commented one expat who made the move to Estonia.
