Should I buy or rent a home in Santiago?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Santiago, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Santiago can be a great investment, as the city is growing rapidly and property values are increasing. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Santiago, as well as the cost of purchasing a home. Renting a home in Santiago can be a more affordable option, as it allows you to live in the city without the long-term commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility if you are unsure of how long you will be living in Santiago. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Santiago should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," commented one expat who made the move to Santiago, Chile.
