Should I buy or rent a home in Martinique?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Martinique, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Martinique can be a great investment, as the island is known for its beautiful scenery and vibrant culture. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Martinique before making a decision. Renting a home in Martinique 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 Martinique should be based on individual needs and preferences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Martinique.
