Should I buy or rent a home in Jakarta?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Jakarta, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"When deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Jakarta, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home in Jakarta can be a great investment, as property values tend to appreciate over time. However, it is important to factor in the cost of maintenance and repairs, as well as the cost of a down payment. Renting a home in Jakarta can be a more affordable option, and it can provide more flexibility if you are not sure how long you will be living in the city. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Jakarta should be based on your individual needs and preferences," said another expat in Jakarta, Indonesia.
