we love you, Patty. big hello from Miami, my wife, and I watch all your videos. hope to meet you one day. we love El Valle.😊 is funny, but you have been our inspiration to move to Panamá the country i once lived and love back in 1980 while i serve in the military😊
Hello Paty. Happy that you have chosen my dear country as your home. Panama is a small country which stil maintains Christian valúes such as género sity kindness and we still have a heart full of live. Hope you find your home with a casita fue rental. We like to visit El Valle once in a while for the weekend.
Florita - your country and the people are beautiful 💙 I have experienced such kindness in the Panamanian people ☺️ And the land and oceans are incredible. If you come to El Valle, let’s meet. Patty@pattybluehayes.com
Happy to see you Patty!! The prices are unreal , the houses are plain , basic don’t see any nice modern finishes . I’m in shocked 😳 to see how much they think the houses are worth .
Yes - and it’s common for owners to put a high price thinking if they get it they will sell. But a house that’s been on the market for 5 years isn’t worth the asking price from 5 years ago!
Keisha, El Valle has been the weekend or 2nd home for most wealthy Panamanians. Unlike in the US, most Panamanians don't have mortgages on their property, so they don't have a sense of urgency that most people in the US have. Plus, its hard to find a rental in El Valle, so one can easily rent nearly anything there.
Sure Patty next time we go to El Vallle I Will look for you. We usually stay at Cabañas at the end of the street ríght in front of the church. They Belong to a Zúñiga family.
Hi patty welcome back FYI in Coronado at paradise point there's a single story totally furnished many upgrades and I think she's selling it with her suv that's 2 years old she's downsizing just FYI
My wild guess is the house with the run off sewage. If you don't go for the house that took your offer try to look for a house not to close to town to see if you can find one cheaper, cause those prices are for real out of my budget.
I did write to you in another video which I cannot find now. Anyway you are such an adventurous person. Have visited so many places in the country. Waoo. I have not visited that many places. God bless you Patty. Hope you find your house soon.
Cool! You visited a bunch of houses that I’ve looked at online before. I’ll place my bet on the place with the sewage-looking runnoff, just because you said « I’d never thought I’d have » I take it as a hint! Can’t wait to see if you do end up there, I think it would be great if you had that kind of business.
What I understand about housing in El Valle us that beautiful juegos houses have been abandoned for a long time as the children of the wealthy owners have moved to the beach áreas fue their weekend leisure time. Si those old houses probably require lots of money for reparos.
Great video, Patti! Excited for you finding your home in El Valle, I know it's been quite a journey. I'm fairly encouraged by some of these prices, since most of the prices I've seen listed by Realtors are well over 500k. Did you look at any homes just outside of EV, how do they compare price wise?
Houses just outside of the valley are significantly less. Take a look at Encuentra24. And word of mouth and through an owner directly are ways to get a better price. For someone with a budget of 500k, no problem for them to pay a premium, pay commissions. But for those who are looking for a little gem, off the main track is likely the best option. I'm overdue on posting :-/
@@Pattybluehayes thanks for the response. Yes, I've been looking at Encuentra 24, but haven't seen much. I'll have to take a trip and check out for myself. Love how genuine you are in all of your videos.
Found you after watching the video after Panama Relocation Tour. Enjoyed watching a selection of videos on your channel next. I feel like child in the Emperor's New Clothes, but the volume on your videos is really low. If I'm the only one with the issue, then just ignore this comment. :-) If others are noticing this issue, then fixing it might help in growing the channel.
Hello Paty Dear I saw you on the relocator to Panama so I am from US but of Panamanian decent from dads side and my husnamd and talking about going to El Valle to rent with our 2 boys grown and 2 dogs want to get out the states a bit and also have family i san miguelito but want to go and check out if we like the area I hope you find your place I want to know how things are so still watching videos hoping to visit this year God willing and what was the price for the house at 10:15 of your video if you remember I dont mind fixure uppers I love decorating as well I just want to find something with potential I would buy land and build a few tiny homes and then a main bath kitchen and landry are if that was allowed well dear take care hope to hear from ya
be patient. Your unicorn will appear... those are some bizarre houses. I am shocked at the prices.. I guess I will be a renter forever, if I make it down there. Working on it.
I get the impression that all the houses there are poorly designed and maintained except perhaps very expensive ones. I’d be inclined to continue renting.
Hi Patty, I have the same passion of mountains as you have. I have seen many of your videos! I am from Canada and will be visiting Panama in two weeks time. I would definitely like some tips if you can for a good area to buy in Anton Valley? Thanks in advance
It’s not advisable to buy until you’ve lived in an area for at least a year. If you haven’t been to Panama, you don’t know if it’s right for you. If you’re thinking of real estate as an investment, the market is over saturated with product so the demand is low and has been for some years. Use your time to visit and explore but don’t buy property ☺️
@@Pattybluehayes Many Thanks Patty for your kind advice! I understand the risk also I may have a different opinion after I visit. So it is best as you mention to visit and then may be stay for all 4 seasons and then decide. Appreciate your advice. Best regards
Hi Patty Blue Hayes! We're getting closer to moving to Panama City, Panama - permanently. As mentioned on FB, we got a 4 bedroom / 4 bath condo with direct ocean views to Pacific ocean, so when your business brings you to the city, stop by and spend some time with us. It will be fun. // That was; is horrible about Kake and Adriana at Lola's Farm. Kake felt under valued, I feel. Too bad. It's a big loss but Kayleigh will find somebody else to take over baby sitting & Rodrigo will be able to stay in the van/bus now. We should be back in Panama City, Panama by 06 23 2022. See you thereafter. We'll go to Michael's NEW restaurant. That will be fun. Sincerely, Rob Stroney from Facebook.
I know you want a house but you know what; Nuevo Gorgona and Royal Palm condo's are beautiful. I'd love to have a 2-3 bedroom there. It's about 50-60 minutes from Panama City but those condo's are stunning. I've heard you can rent them for $950.00 per month; that's probably for a 2 bedroom.
El valle is a touristic area, please understand why prices are higher. People who fall in love with el valle are usually ok to put the extra money for the location!
Yes!!! Rainy season is from May to late November and this year is quite heavy rain. But there’s usually a break in the day or the morning is clear. But when I feel too water-logged, I drive down to Coronado 🌅
I have found NO other single female expats on TH-cam 'our' age in Panama. Do you know of any? I am struggling to immerse myself in everything I can find and going back to old videos is boring. There are a lot of women that are young, singles with kids, women that have partners, and a large group of Black single women, but I am unable to find any that are closer to my demographics. I know they are out there!! You tube just isn't giving me anything.
Hola Patty. I am planning to come to Panama in mid Aug. I am a 68 yr old female retiree. I currently live in NE TN. I am getting ready shortly to rent out my home to a couple I've known for years. They are going to buy it. I would like to find a peaceful rental. I cant afford Jackie's tours or her guide. I was looking in el Valle and Boquete. Im kinda nervous to change countries. Would you be able to help me? If so, I can send you my email.
Do as much research as you can and talk to people while you’re visiting. #IGoPanama has a lot of good practical information and read up on the immigration attorney websites. Take it one step at a time - make sure Panama is the place you want to settle down. You can email me patty@pattybluehayes.com

All those house will require a lot of work, and it way over priced. Good luck with your quest to find your new home.
Never to much Mango 🥭 😋
the house that was on the market for 5 years
Make a rental unit in the bottom level in what is now a garage. Saw your interview on PRT> Excellent info and videography!
Sergey did the video and editing - great job indeed ☺️
The horses beat an RV parked next door..ha
😆✨ they are so pretty. Kids come ride them on the weekends. It’s very sweet.

My guess is the house whose owner sent you the shark meme.

Keep moving forward with your plan ☺️

In my price range the houses are very basic. When you get to $500k they are much nicer ☺️
