Should I buy or rent a home in Luxembourg?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Luxembourg, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Luxembourg can be a great investment, as the country has a strong economy and a stable housing market. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Luxembourg, as it is one of the most expensive countries in Europe. Renting a home in Luxembourg can be a more affordable option, as it allows you to enjoy the benefits of living in the country without the long-term commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting a home in Luxembourg can provide more flexibility, as you can move to a different area or even a different country if your circumstances change. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Luxembourg should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Luxembourg.
