Should I buy or rent a home in Florence?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Florence, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Florence can be a great investment, as the city is known for its rich culture and history. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Florence, as well as the cost of purchasing a home. Renting a home in Florence 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 cost-effective in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Florence should be based on individual needs and preferences," commented one expat who made the move to Florence, Italy.
