Should I buy or rent a home in Medellin?

Answer this Question

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

"We knew we had come to stay for several years or more. So we rented an unfurnished apartment. Some friends referred us to locals and the process was very easy. We bought a few things new like mattresses, TV and recliners, but all the rest of the furniture was used and we got some bargains. We had to buy lots of accessories, and those cost more than we counted on, but we have them now and they aren't going anywhere. In 3+ years, we have had 5 different homes. We could not have had all our adventures if we had purchased a home," wrote a member who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.

"We built a beautiful country home. Again, the family helped throughout this process. From land purchase to completion of the house took a total of around 18 months," explained one expat living in Medellin, Colombia.
