Zurich, Switzerland
Should I buy or rent a home in Zurich?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Zurich, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"The decision to buy or rent a home in Zurich depends on your personal preferences and financial situation. Buying a home is often more expensive upfront, but you will benefit from building equity in a home and potentially taking advantage of tax benefits. On the other hand, renting can be less expensive and more flexible, allowing you the opportunity to move without needing to sell your home. Ultimately, the decision is yours depending on what best suits your needs," remarked another expat who made the move to Zurich, Switzerland.
