    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 .

    • @Pattybluehayes
      @Pattybluehayes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @LifeUnfiltered-Raw

    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?

    • @Pattybluehayes
      @Pattybluehayes  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 :-/

    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.

    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

    • @Pattybluehayes
      @Pattybluehayes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 ☺️

    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.

    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.
