Should I buy or rent a home in Salinas?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Salinas, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a property in Salinas is an attractive option for potential owners as it offers a variety of options; you can choose to live in the city centre where all the amenities are close by, or you can buy a property further out in the countryside and enjoy the tranquillity. Renting offers a more flexible and cost-effective solution if you're looking for a short-term stay, but if you're planning on living in the area for a long period of time, then purchasing a property may be the better option. Consider your budget when making the decision, and if you're unsure, speak to local real estate agents to get an assessment of the market," remarked another expat who made the move to Salinas, Ecuador, Ecuador.
