Should I buy or rent a home in Izmir?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Izmir, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Izmir can be a great investment. The city is known for its vibrant culture, beautiful scenery, and excellent quality of life. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other cities in Turkey, making it an attractive option for those looking to purchase a home. Additionally, the city has a strong economy and is home to many international companies, making it a great place to live and work. Renting a home in Izmir can also be a great option, as it allows you to experience the city without the commitment of buying a home. There are many rental options available, ranging from furnished apartments to villas. Renting can also be a great way to explore the city and its culture before deciding if you want to purchase a home," said a member in Izmir, Turkey.
