This is a private condo house in the southern coast of Brazil, be aware of some details: 1) Pay attention to beach and market/shops distance, sometimes it is walkable, sometimes it isn´t, you may need to take you own car or a condo van. Front beach condos are rare. Mostly may stick on a 300m-3km distance to the beach. Avoid the ones with large avenues or highway crossings between them and the beach or local shops. 2) Do not forget the monthly fees for the condo (which pays security, gardening, common area cleaning, community swimming pool etc.) anything in the range of R$ 500-R$2000 is pretty possible. Having a very low ratio of houses and too much servicing will produce higher HOA fees. 3) These condo´s are pretty much empty during 9 months of the year - specially through May to October you may feel somewhat lonely there except some weekends or holidays that rarely will have full occupation. Do not expect temperature over 25 C over these months, its the south region. Actually during June-August be prepared for 15 C or even below that. 4) Check the side distance on the houses. Newer condos keep neighbor house distance to a minimum 3-4 meters or even less, avoid them if you can afford or find something different. Usually back distance is not an issue and most condos lots will give you a 20-30m terrain, but side distance sucks because the facing street part usually it does not go over 15-20m and you will look cluttered and with noise issues from others. 5) This sort of environment as not as bad as United States HOA´s, fees are not much high, but policy enforcement neither. It is a dual blade sword. Do not expect much new costs but also do not expect much silence and discipline for neighbors during peak holiday season.
In france, its........ 2 000 000 euros minimum. Same in spain where i live (valencia, look altea hills for similar house cost more 2 millions minimum euros)
Are there companies, that do turnkey offers? Kitchen and bathroom setup still represent a significant amount of work. For this sort of money it is good to see it included.
I was also shocked when I moved here that the buyer has to install the bathroom and kitchen. Many Brazilians employ an interior architect/designer who handles all the bathroom, kitchen, wardrobe installs. I did not want to spend so much money so I hired some local tradesmen to fit my house.
@@nordicinvestor The completion date is not usually set in stone, so if you have builders, internal renovation and carpenters working back-to-back, you can rock-up 3x3 months worth of delays very easily. Turnkey (if available) is a lot easier option.
@@nordicinvestor I think it depends on your segment and what you're buying and if it's new or used. I don't recall seeing houses for sale, even new, without sink, toilet, faucets in all kitchens and bathrooms, but I never looked at this segment, but way, way, waaaaay lower LOL. I guess people got smarter as they lower the cost and allow for better customization. Many people would remove the basic stuff that was included shortly after buying, so it was wasted money, anyways. I feel the best option is to buy something old that has "good bones" (no structure, roof, plumbing, termites or other expensive or annoying problems) and redecorate to your liking. Specially if you prefer older features like closed kitchens (they're coming back, people woke up to the fact it's not fun to have steam from your kitchen and oil smell all over your living spaces or a big mess to clean up anytime someone comes to visit you)... Things like maids' quarters make for good pantry / cellars and you get an extra bathroom for emergencies in case yours breaks down or if you have too many people rushing to the toilet (or shower) at once. I don't like anything with HOA. Got burned once buying a plot of land inside a gated community, it was hell to approve construction, ended selling the plot with a massive loss. Plus you have to pay maintenance fees for things you'll never use like shared sport areas and silly things some people like to invent just to waste money. Specially wasteful if you don't have children.
Are you going to make videos on affordable properties that are a good deal or will you focus on pretty houses in gated communities that are considerably above average? Just curious, because you can find a property in Campinas, a large city just 100 Km from São Paulo (and one of the most expensive) for less than 600 thousand BRL (not inside gated communities or new construction) and those prices are a bit weird considering you live in a remote region of the country and smaller cities / villages... The plots of land sound more reasonably priced but you can buy a plot in São Paulo State around that price too. Not sure about gated communities because I don't want to build in one as you're tied to extra regulations, housing associations and other issues. Plus the sense of security is a bit false as you become a target when you live in a house that's clearly above average wealth wise. I'd rather have a regular house in a middle class neighborhood with good security, electronic gates, electric fences, alarms and cameras, plus an old used bulletproof car.
Next video will be about more affordable homes. I wanted to do videos showing the whole range of homes available, starting with the $4 million property , then this one for $400k and then the next video will be a house for $100k.
@@MarinaLaroche Its the usual concept of brick + cement houses. Portugal and Spain are no different from that. Closets are ordered to your design taste and installed later thus occupying room size - so yes, do not think ever about having a bedroom under a 9-12 square meter. Also, since it is beach house (lots of moist) consider having closets without doors or some anti-mould appliance.
In Brazil there is a measure called CUB which is the cost per square meter to construct a house. In Santa Catarina it is R$2800 per m2 which is $500 /m2
Another ridiculous video of too much house for rich people. 5 bathrooms ? I don’t want to clean 2 bathrooms. HOA FEES ? I’m out. Please start posting realistic properties.
@@TheSimArchitect I live in the state where this video was recorded, and I can say that this type of beach house is more for leisure. The rich who live in other regions in the interior of the state buy these mansions to have a beach house and probably only use it in the summer. Of course, there are exceptions where they buy to live, but the majority buy for leisure.
No, low areas of Porto Alegre were under water last May, that not the case of Torres. Most coastal cities have no issues on flooding since they have easy draining systems to the sea.
I love these property videos & the fact you give the real estates information. Thank you very much 😁
Glad you liked it 👍

It's a nice home overall and I like the single-story design. However, why is the BBQ pit inside the home? Wouldn't it be better if it was outdoor?
Here in Brazil it is common to have barbecues inside the house, so you can have a barbecue whenever you want, rain or shine.
Usually the BBQ is inside the house or in the garage. In many apartments they also BBQs.

No closets in the bedrooms ?
No closets, the buyer will need to install them. In Brazil generally the buyer usually needs to install the kitchen, bathroom fixtures and closets.
@@nordicinvestor So the buyer has to do holes in the walls ? Why are they not done at the time of building when the walls are opened ?

What would you say, is the average price per square meter to construct a house?

Thanks a lot! Is there also measure for the completion of the interior?

Mosquito nets... but a manmade lake outside. Not sure that helps. Seems counter intuitive.
😂 very true
They are copying some Florida condos, bringing the same mosquito issue.
Coisa estranha 🤔
True, a bit weird

nice house. unfortunately the city is under water

No, low areas of Porto Alegre were under water last May, that not the case of Torres. Most coastal cities have no issues on flooding since they have easy draining systems to the sea.
