Should I buy or rent a home in Reykjavik?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Reykjavik, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Reykjavik depends on your financial situation, lifestyle preferences and long-term plans. If you plan to stay in Reykjavik for a long time and have the necessary financial resources, buying a house or apartment may be the best option. Owning a home gives you more freedom to personalize it to your liking and can be a worthwhile long-term investment. On the other hand, renting a property can be more cost-effective in some cases and gives you more flexibility to move if your circumstances change. Consider carefully the pros and cons of each option to decide what is best for you," remarked another expat in Reykjavik, Iceland.
