Should I buy or rent a home in Cape Town?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Cape Town, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Cape Town can be a great investment. The city is known for its beautiful scenery, vibrant culture, and excellent quality of life. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in the area before making a decision. Renting 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 affordable in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent should be based on individual needs and preferences," commented one expat who made the move to Cape Town, South Africa.
