Should I buy or rent a home in Bishkek?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Bishkek, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"When deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Bishkek, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home in Bishkek can be a great investment, as property values are likely to increase over time. However, it is important to factor in the cost of maintenance and repairs, as well as the cost of a down payment. Renting a home in Bishkek can be a more affordable option, and it can provide more flexibility if you are not sure how long you will be living in the city. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Bishkek should be based on your individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat who made the move to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
