Should I buy or rent a home in Uzbekistan?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Uzbekistan, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Uzbekistan can be a great investment, as the country is experiencing a period of economic growth and development. The cost of living in Uzbekistan is relatively low, making it an attractive option for those looking to purchase a home. Additionally, the country offers a wide range of housing options, from traditional homes to modern apartments. Renting a home in Uzbekistan can also be a good option, as it allows you to experience the country without the commitment of buying a home. Renting can also be a great way to explore different neighborhoods and find the perfect place to live. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Uzbekistan depends on your individual needs and preferences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Uzbekistan.
