Should I buy or rent a home in Basel?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Basel, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Basel can be a great investment, as the city is known for its high quality of life and strong economy. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Basel, as it is one of the most expensive cities in Switzerland. Renting a home in Basel can be a more affordable option, and it can also provide more flexibility if you are not sure how long you will be living in the city.
