Should I buy or rent a home in Berlin?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Berlin, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Berlin can be a great investment, as the city is a popular destination for both tourists and expats. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Berlin, as well as the cost of purchasing a home. Renting a home in Berlin 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 Berlin should be based on individual needs and preferences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Berlin, Germany.
