Should I buy or rent a home in Cologne?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Cologne, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Cologne can be a great investment, as the city is known for its strong economy and vibrant culture. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Cologne, as well as the availability of housing, before making a decision. Renting a home in Cologne can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to buying a home, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more affordable in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Cologne should be based on individual needs and preferences," commented one expat who made the move to Cologne, Germany.
