Should I buy or rent a home in Vilcabamba?

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

"The decision to buy or rent a home in Vilcabamba depends on several factors. If you plan to stay in Vilcabamba for a long period of time, buying a home could be a good investment. The real estate market in Vilcabamba is relatively stable and property values tend to increase over time. Buying a home also gives you the freedom to modify and personalize your space as you wish. On the other hand, renting a home in Vilcabamba offers more flexibility. If you're not sure how long you'll be staying or if you prefer not to deal with the responsibilities of home ownership, renting could be a better option. Renting also allows you to test out different neighborhoods and types of homes before making a long-term commitment. It's also important to consider your financial situation. Buying a home requires a significant upfront investment, while renting typically involves lower initial costs. However, as a homeowner, you could potentially recoup your investment and even make a profit if you decide to sell in the future. In conclusion, both buying and renting have their pros and cons. It's important to carefully consider your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term plans before making a decision," wrote a member who made the move to Vilcabamba, Ecuador.

"Lots of rental and for sale properties everywhere. I rent an apartment. In smaller towns like mine people don't even sign any rental agreements and it is convenient to rent from month to month," explained one expat living in Vilcabamba, Ecuador.
