Should I buy or rent a home in Romania?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Romania, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Romania can be a great investment, as the country has a growing economy and 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 Romania can be a more cost-effective option, as it allows you to avoid the upfront costs associated with buying a home. Additionally, renting a home can provide more flexibility, as you can move to a different location more easily than if you owned a home. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Romania should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," said another expat in Romania.
