Should I buy or rent a home in Grecia?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Grecia, 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 Grecia depends on your individual needs and circumstances. If you don't plan on staying long-term, or if you're looking for more flexibility, renting a home may be the best option. On the other hand, buying a home can be a wise investment in real estate and allows you to build equity over time. Additionally, you will have the freedom to customize and renovate the property. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent in Grecia should be based on your individual needs and plans for the future," explained one expat living in Grecia, Costa Rica, Costa Rica.

"I am renting an apartment for now. $800/month not including utilities. I would like to buy eventually. The process was done via a friend so that was helpful, but, to pay in cash to avoid taxes is a challenge. I have no idea how I am to pay the bills for electricity, water, cable, etc," said another expat in Grecia, Costa Rica.
