Should I buy or rent a home in Davao?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Davao, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"Buying a home in Davao can be a great investment. The city is known for its low cost of living and its vibrant culture. The real estate market is also relatively affordable, making it a great option for those looking to purchase a home. Renting a home in Davao can also be a great option, as it allows you to experience the city without the commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting can be a great way to explore different neighborhoods and find the perfect place to call home. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Davao will depend on your individual needs and preferences," said another expat in Davao, Philippines.

"Bought a nice 2 bedroom home, but the title had liens dating back to 1965 so it was not conveyed. We have a lawyer working on that who will petition the court to expunge these encumbrances and issue a new clean title," wrote a member who made the move to Prudential Village, Daliao, Davao City, Philippines.
