Should I buy or rent a home in Jordan?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Jordan, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Jordan can be a great investment, as the country has a stable economy and a growing real estate market. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Jordan, as well as the availability of financing options, before making a decision. Renting a home in Jordan can be a more affordable option, as it allows you to live in the country without the long-term commitment of a mortgage. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility if you are unsure of how long you will be living in Jordan. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Jordan should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Jordan.
