Well done video. Always intriguing to see Philippine house construction. Indeed, the furnishings, appliances, land purchase, building permit, architect and engineer fees, documents and government municipality filings, title, attorney fees, geodetic engineer land survey, deep well, elevated water tower storage tank, water pressure tank and water pump, portable water heaters, perimeter wall, landscaping will drive the cost up to double the cost of the main structure build, but still far less expensive than the U.S. and taxes are minimal. Full coverage property insurance is extremely reasonable, your place would be approximately $200 = PHP 11,600 annually, for the structure and personal belongings.
WOW… that is fantastic price all in… great job, so very happy for you two… Enjoy your new home… The Philippines is looking very promising for retirement… Thanks for sharing your experience… Blessings to you and your family…..
CONGRATS to you guys well done 👏 ✔️ 🎉 .i built my house 20 years ago in the Dumgete now where living back in Australia 🇦🇺 and using it for holidays every year cheers 🍻 mate.
Good job and thanks for sharing. Yes, having to provide lunch to the crew was a concept I had to accept. Do you have the capability to add another bedroom or bathroom if necessary?
Hi Thanks for the video. My filipina wife and I built our new home on the 1000 sq m lot we have in Isabela province. We built a modern filipino 2 large bedroom, 2 large bathroom house. The house cost 2.1 M PHP all in finished. In addition we built an extension to the back of the house were we have the dirty kitchen/outside living area and storage room. We are 100% off-grid solar too. At the same time, we bought a 3 hectare farm to grow rice. Cheers, Simon
@Americaninthephilippines I have a YT channel but it's only used to keep my family/friends updated in the UK. I think there is small video of the house and farm. Warm regards Simon
@@chrishughes887 thanks for comment. House build was just over one million peso or $20,960. Our current land is 370sqm plus more land from Joy’s father that haven’t picked out yet
@@shandong699Hi we sourced all our materials ourselves. Every 10k pasos spent on materials we payed 4k pasos labour. Basically 40% not sure if you know this but it is relatively common in Philippines.This might help you estimate build costs for your project.
Thanks for sharing. A very good price for this house, I am assuming that relatives helped keeping the costs reasonable. Where are you located? A detached house and lot around Cebu City, usually starts at 5 mn PHP now.
Thanks for your comment. Well we paid for materials and paid regular daily rates to the workers but prices have gone up. Building is cheaper than buying from a developer too
Thanks for commenting. Daily labor wages go by the skill level of the worker...highly skilled 600-700 peso, the average mason/carpenter 500 peso and the manual labor low skilled 400 peso a day.
I love 💕 your House it’s so beautiful, I wish i could come to Philippine to live , I am single,with my daughter,she is a little Disabled ,She is 37 years old ,I am 75years old, My wife Die a few years ago, I am Physically Fit, I Retire about 7 years ago,
Never say never right? Although maybe a big city like BGC would be better at meeting your needs. Big wide side walks, great medical care at St Luke's. I hope you are enjoying life now and thanks for your comment.
@teresitamanuelsontag9974 you are correct. He is noted on the title as her husband. He has limited time ownership. If she has no heirs, then husband has to liquidate the property within a reasonable time. Reasonable time is very relative. Seek counsel.
Currently, we are living here Texas USA, but we are planning to retire in the Phil. My family is from Surigao city, what province is you in after you mentioned the price you spend for your home.
Kansas is way cheaper. Here in NJ 320,000 USD 10yrs ago and thats only 3 bed 2 n a half baths. 2 car garage and 2,300 sq ft. Thats how expensive the house here. Not even mentioning cali and NY. Crazy!
Thank you for commenting. Yeah my brother has house in Cali....crazy prices. I'm going back to visit after 3 years here in Aug...preparing for shocking prices there lol
25,000 may be ok. Lots of factors and prices have been rising for materials. Where building? House size? Own land? Probably biggest budget factors off top of my head
You didn't put the camera very long on each dresser in the bedroom. Every time I go to Davao we look for those closet dressers that are made out of wood and when you go to the malls it's like the most worthless low quality garbage you would never want to buy and in fact many of the dressers in wall closets on display have damage. Are your closet dressers decent quality? I can't really tell from the video in about how much did they cost. I don't want any plastic dressers like I see everywhere. By the way I'm in Davao Oriental
@@Familyactionteam thanks for your comment. Our dresser cabinets are good quality and we found them at a local Japan Surplus store in Daet. One was 10K and other 15K
@Americaninthephilippines I could tell they look nice and based on your video I just made a video of a tour of my house! I'm going to do a little editing and upload it right away. My name is Mark and my wife's name is Ingrid.
An expat in Ilocos Region leased the land he bought under the wife's name but leased it from her for $1.00 (one dollar) for 25 years with the option to renew. Also, the title will be under the wife's name but should say "married to..."
Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the province life.

The more you do for yourself the better you come out of it financially and depending on your skill level you could end up with better quality builds.

Wow. I guess location makes a big difference. Price is 40,000 per sqm at my subdivision in bacolod city.
40K per sqm....ouch...that adds up fast. Imagine subdivisions cost more than just finding land
what part of Philippines province are you in.
We are in Bicol Region of Camarines Norte, Basud
House is beautiful so how do you sleep at night with rosters
I have found some methods…run a fan in our room for white noise and foam earplugs too lol

You did a very good job with the house. You said you have solar, how much did it cost? Good luck!
For that price, you can't buy a single wide trailer in the USA. Congratulations!!!
@ thanks for your comment. Yes 20K won’t get much in America and I heard inflation is going crazy too
@ we will complete our solar video after we sleep…coming very soon. Maybe 12 hours from now
I'm almost finished building a similar sized house in Mindanao. It's going to cost us about 1.5 million
@@theshyfarmer thanks for your comment. Yeah prices have gone up since we finished our house. Congratulations on your place
I am planning to build in Mindanao in about 2 years. Hopefully the prices remain consistent and inflation stays tolerable.

My house is going to be able the same except one extra bedroom
Yeah if I could do it over and save/find more money (lol) I REALLY would've added a bathroom and probably a bedroom
Very nice home. I am not a fan of wet bathrooms. Other than that I like it.
Honestly I'd rather have my American bathroom too but "when in Rome" lol...I'm getting accustomed to it
Kansas is way cheaper. Here in NJ 320,000 USD 10yrs ago and thats only 3 bed 2 n a half baths. 2 car garage and 2,300 sq ft. Thats how expensive the house here. Not even mentioning cali and NY. Crazy!
