Should I buy or rent a home in Adelaide?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Adelaide, 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 Adelaide should be based on your financial and lifestyle goals. Buying a home may provide you with the sense of stability and financial security that renting does not, but it comes with large costs, such as a downpayment, closing costs, and maintenance fees. On the other hand, renting an Adelaide property may be a more short-term, cost efficient option and will save you from many of the costs associated with buying. Ultimately it is important to consider your own individual preferences and circumstances before deciding which route is best for you," remarked another expat who made the move to Adelaide, Australia, Australia.
