My wife and I plan to visit Ghana next summer and check it out. Being retired US Army, we plan to make Ghana our home. From what I see, it looks affordable there. Great post and thanks for sharing.
Wow, wow! This is great! I congratulate you for building quality and affordable habitats for low income people. I wish to move in Africa and buy one apartment in your housing development.
Comprehensive information sharing. Good job, definitely would like to see a video of you touring the various properties. Thanks for your engaging content.
Sooo, soo good that his prices are in Cedis!! I think it’s quite unfortunate how everybody wants to get the dollars… like let’s spend the money in CEDIS - how should we evolve?? No wonder the currency is fluctuating and unstable .. when we’re continuing to pay and get paid in another currency …
How do mortgages work in Ghana. I am a British Ghanian with both passports. I am moving next year to either Ghana or Botswana I will stay in both countries to see which works best for me long term. Knowing more about mortgages will help in aiding me to make a decision. It is a travesty that the government is allowing us to important things when we live on the richest continent for resources in the world! Come on now let’s jump into the 20th century for goodness sake! As private individuals is anyone having conversation with the trades minister? This guy is great, seems like a genuine guy!
As a potential home buyer, I would like to know: the sqft of a standard 3-bdrm , car garage , backyard land space for personal use - gardening, etc, proximity to the city, to shopping, to school, the integrity of the builders, water, electricity, and internet service, sewage systems, financing, taxes. These sorts of things and more I think a potential buyer would like to know. The days are now upon humanity where natural living, nature oriented, will be the preferred norm....at least a decent size backyard for a bit of personalized gardening. The Ghanaian builders are only looking at profits, to squeeze as much tenements style houses in per acher of land. They're also not taking into account the forecast of a significant reduction in global population. Their mind needs get current, and stop operating in the era of yesteryear.
Alan, you raise valid points. We need to make clear to our people that these things mentioned in their highly authentic manner require them to pay more for such homes. Sq Ft, location, services, etc., influence the prices. In Ghana, there is no regulation on how lands are sold or the cost of building materials. Things change in a fast manner, and it's horrible. If we have the gov't involved with a justice department ensuring regulatory laws are made so prices won't be inflated to the sellers' will, I think we will get to a more natural living with decent-sized sq ft.
Great video very descriptive! Is the affordable homes only for public sector workers? What’s the difference between the affordable n the more higher priced homes please?
Thanks Amoaa for this. You may need to have another meeting with this legit gentleman if possible. He has great info for us but the sound quality this time round wasn't the best Maame, sorry
Hi, Maame, great interview. This is the best interview on real estate in Ghana I have ever come across. The gentleman is really knowledgeable and has help me to understand many things that were unclear. Keep up the good work. 👌
Did you check import and export data for last year before commenting here? Or you just speaking your mind? More than 50% for where? 😂...of course we need more export but don't quote figures you don't know or bothered to check.
@@emmanuelameyaw9735, Check it yourself. Ghana imports too much. Ghana needs to manufacture more. The cedi will never be stable at the rate of imports. You even import common tomatoes. Check it.
Lol..ghana's net trade in goods and services was -$1.3b in 2019 according to wold bank data. Not sure where you got your data from...Btw, I am not saying, we don't need to manufacture or export...just don't quote figures you don't know..maybe.
@@emmanuelameyaw9735 so what's ur argument? You are not adding anything right now. We export way too much which suppresses the value of the cedis. This is basic.
God bless Ghana and this man cause the prices before was out of my reach. I can’t afford to live in NY any more. I paid $12.99 a pound for oxtails today. I almost cried. Prices are extremely high. Since the pandemic they are jacking prices up. Double. These damn devils. I hope I’m not doing any damage to the people of Ghana by moving there. I know many Nyers moved to Atlanta Ga and because of this they raised the prices of homes.
Demand a local price - If we come allowing them to charge higher then the overall prices offered will be higher - If you demand a local price or if you have a local do the whole process for you than You sign and pay it is likely to be a better price while keeping the local prices attainable by local people
This is brilliant content, thank you. I've bookmarked his website. Do you know if they service other countries such as Nigeria or are they solely operating in Ghana?
Please when you do these type of videos on containers home can you show us completed homes the audience need to visually see the designs of the homes after completion it's just a better selling point
Another great video. The simple fact is that homes in Ghana and much of Africa are overpriced. In Nairobi, Lagos, and Accra home prices approximate those in primary US cities and are more expensive than in places like San Antonio, Phoenix, or Oklahoma City. In those cities, value is greater, cleaner wider streets, better services, better safety, more beautiful neighborhoods and cities and the lifestyle is more pleasant. A variety of reasons create this phenomenon from ridiculous land prices (farmland in most of the US is under $5,000 an acre), to importation of the most basic of building materials, to overvalued currencies, to low productivity in the construction sector (a house that takes one-year to build costs more due to financing costs), etcetera. It is also a factor of the haves, who control the land and power, and those struggling to get a toehold. Metrics like average income to cost of 1,000 square foot 2-bedroom home and average rent to average income will help expose the imbalances in the market. Cement, a product made by artisans for eons, should not be that expensive to use. Those who cannot afford should make it themselves, at least outside of large urban areas. In fact, it doesn’t need to be cement at all as seen in the video on making homes out of stabilized earth, where allowed. See prices in India or Romania or Bulgaria and some parts of Italy… Yes, manufacture. One cannot import everything, including tomato paste from China. Currencies are overvalued.
Thank you for sharing this info. Where is the location of these houses? I would like to see a two bedrooms. Do you have a number on WhatsApp? God will surely bless Mr.Amoaa. I wished we had more people like him in this world.
Why in the world would Ghana be importing materials? That makes no sense when anything can be made in the country because the materials are there. Is there just no demand for building materials and furniture for homes in Ghana? I don’t understand?
This is great. I am interested in purchasing one of these properties but I don't know if as a foreigner, I can own a property in Ghana. I am definately subscring to your channel Amoaa. Thank you very much for all these informations on real estate in Ghana.
Nice conversation so I have acquired myself eleven acres of land between nsawam and teacher mante and am looking for an investor to help develop it so please let me know if interested thanks
Hi Filicia, this is Mr. Bright from Bright&Clara's channel. I'm putting up a 4-bedroom house on the ground floor with apartments in the first floor.

Why are the lenders only lending money for 5 to 6 years at the most? It is not practical for local Ghanaians or diasporas to pay a loan off in that time period. And why are the interest rates in the double digits? That is insane!
The prices mentioned in the intro for the various units are different from is being mentioned at the end. Is this just to get people to watch ur videos?
We would definitely need a tour of these properties Amoaa. Your efforts are really appreciated. Can't thank you enough!

Another great production Amoaa. I like how organized it is and how you covered questions I have wondered about. Really great information.
Great interview, quite informative. I would love to know more about these properties
God bless for being hardworking,innovative and creative. Opportunities are found everywhere but takes a broad mindsets person to see and use them.

If Ghana does not manufacture, does not export but import more than 50% of their needs then the cedi will never be stable. Manufacturing is needed.

The interview is too long, cut short and take us the through the apartment 🙏
Why are the lenders only lending money for 5 to 6 years at the most? It is not practical for local Ghanaians or diasporas to pay a loan off in that time period. And why are the interest rates in the double digits? That is insane!
What of techieman
But you Judi talking where are the rooms of the houses??
How do we get the contact information?
Check the video description box
Why spend so much of the video with a blank white screen, would help to actually see what the actual homes or their construction
The prices mentioned in the intro for the various units are different from is being mentioned at the end. Is this just to get people to watch ur videos?
The prices at the beginning are for the affordable homes, he talks about those in the video before the other properties for the other groups, check
Bad audio, struggling to hear almost everything being said.
❤️🔥♥️🥰😍🙏🏾👍🏾
I hope you can improve on the sound. There was much echo in this one. Also, sometimes your voice is too low.
Contact information
✊🏿✊🏿
I want to contact Kwame for a house could you please send me his contact please

Also, thank you for helping others.
