Should I buy or rent a home in Amman?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Amman, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Amman, depends on several factors, including your financial situation, long-term plans, and personal preferences. If you plan to stay in Amman for an extended period, buying a home may be a good investment, as it allows you to build equity and potentially benefit from the appreciation of property values. Additionally, owning a home provides stability and the freedom to make changes to the property as you see fit. On the other hand, renting a home in Amman offers more flexibility, as you can easily move to a different neighborhood or city without the hassle of selling a property. Renting also allows you to avoid the upfront costs associated with buying a home, such as a down payment and closing costs. Furthermore, renting a home means you won't be responsible for property taxes and maintenance costs, which can be significant in some cases. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Amman, Jordan, should be based on your individual circumstances and preferences. It's essential to carefully consider your financial situation, long-term plans, and the local real estate market before making a decision," commented one expat who made the move to Amman, Jordan.
