If you have not spent a lot of time in Iceland, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"Buying a home in Iceland can be a great investment, as the country's real estate market is growing steadily. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Iceland, as well as the cost of purchasing a home, before making a decision. Renting a home in Iceland can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to a long-term purchase, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more cost-effective in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Iceland should be based on individual needs and preferences," commented one expat who made the move to Iceland.
