Should I buy or rent a home in Seoul?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Seoul, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Seoul can be a great investment, as the city is a vibrant and growing metropolis. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Seoul, as well as the availability of housing. Renting a home in Seoul can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to a long-term purchase, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more cost-effective. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Seoul should be based on individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat in Seoul, Korea.
