Should I buy or rent a home in Colombia?

"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Colombia depends on a variety of factors. Consider what your long-term plans are for living in the country. If you intend to stay for an extended period of time and anticipate growing roots, then buying may be the most cost-effective option. On the other hand, if you’re going to be spending limited time in the country, then renting may be the more practical choice. Make sure to also take into consideration Colombia’s current economic and housing markets. Research real estate options, costs, and rental rules and regulations to make the right decision for your needs," said a member in Colombia.

"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," remarked another expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.
