Should I buy or rent a home in Washington DC?

Answer this Question

If you have not spent a lot of time in Washington DC, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"Whether or not to buy or rent a home in Washington, DC largely depends on your individual financial situation, priorities and lifestyle. If you are financially stable and can afford the up-front costs associated with home buying, such as closing costs and down payment, it might be a more affordable option in the long term than renting a home. However, if you are not ready to commit to owning a home, renting can be a more cost-effective option for living in Washington, DC. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which option will work best for you," remarked another expat who made the move to Washington DC, United States.
