i think it comes down to intention, if you are looking for a permanent or long term home it might be best to lease first as has been suggested, and get a real feel for that and other areas before you buy.Home prices and their escalation differs from the local area, so a purchased home will at least appreciate at the same 'villages' rate should you later decide to sell.
