Real estate all over the world now is expensive, but Jamaica isn’t adding up with the way how the infrastructure is. You purchase a home for 1 mil USD. You have to get a generator and solar power because the electricity is unreliable and you have to get water tank to have constant running water. When you leave your property, you are driving on pothole streets. My husband and I left Jamaica a week ago and all the apartments in Kingston were going for some crazy numbers which didn’t include all the added expenses after taxes. In the end, it made more sense to just buy land.
@@Dionne-bo1oo Agree!! And for you to buy a house and pay the mortgage, it’s over $5000 USD. So even if you are here in America, sending that amount is a huge stress and financial burden, plus maintenance and other added utilities.
I love it but that’s a mansion price in the USA!! Jamaica needs to do better with price and it’s not even a smart house, no private pool, not even a car garage door, the master bedroom is not that big, for that price the master could have been the whole top floor with a wrapped around balcony. I would price this at $500,000usd
These houses were not made for the average Jamaicans who work so hard to be able to afford a piece of their homeland. Perhaps foreigners or the 'fairer' Jamaicans??
People are complaining about the price but the price has more to do with location than the house itself. Secondly, it's all about supply and demand. As long as there are people willing to pay more, the price will be more.
Maybe if they lower their prices sales would increase, interest rates are a factor too. These developments are way overpriced for what you are getting.👎
As Real estate lawyers in Jamaica , we can tell you that property in Jamaica goes through cycles, based on demand and supply BUT one thing is certain, final price depends on location; There is only one Jacks Hill, Cherry Gardens, Norbrook, Hope Pastures, Widcombe, etc. Those areas will always command premium prices.
They should build some modular tiny homes on this scale to replace all those zinc and board shacks thag human beings are dealt on the downside of life in Jamaica to live in. They should also be transportable and anchored. And what about those shipping container homes out there.
Beautiful property. I wonder if I will see the day when we see more of these developments below Half Way Tree... I experience gentrification in NY - and would love to see it in Kingston town.
@@l.b.9567 The Tainos are long gone... So what do you mean? My family still own homes below Cross Roads... Ask the average resident and many of them - all they want to do is try to "reach a farrin".
The comment section is proof the Jamaican real estate market is gentrifying locals. Soon enough it will be a Seychelles like situation. I encourage realtors and developers to research what happened in this island. There is a hidden damage being done.
There isn't such a thing as a bad product as long as there is a buyer, but wow, this is the definition of RE speculation, shared facilities, no yard space, 800k usd for this 🤔. Everybody is trying to cash in on the craze, 😅.
What they gave us,,, U S dollars prize its to expensive!!!!! Living in those expensive homes and the health is bad not a good hospital that crazyyyyy plzzzz 💯💯
These developers are making me angry every time I see another wasted overpriced “complex”. How can they charge ppl 800-1M USD and offer D-rate appliances and fixtures??? Look at that apt-style kitchen with 2 likkle pendant lights?? There’s nothing Master about dat Master Bedroom man. The master bathroom is poorly designed too! 800K USD gets you a mansion in FL or GA with TOP of the line appliances and y’all coming with Courts fridge and stove!! Where’s the Viking and Miele?? Kohler? Listen man, unuh need to step it up if unuh want to attract high end clients!! 😒
Nice views but terrible house design, the floor plans is not open floor, it’s too section up, the orientation of the home makes the inside dark without much natural lighting. Not my type of home😬
A lot of people complaining about price don't seem to understand how real estate works. It's not just Jamaica. Location matters more than square footage. This is the Corporate Area. So a unit like this would cost more than it would in Trelawny. When you buy you should think of resale. Kingston will have high demand. It doesn't rely on tourism.
320-400,000 US, the ceiling too low, rooms small, staircase too dark the laundry room. Need space for washer and dryer, the closet too small, especially the master walk-in and too dark.
This hilarious.😅 Almost $1MUSD for what? What views? Every house in Ja has to have these ugly grills on every window and door to keep out cut throats. If you cut yourself with a kitchen knife and are lucky enough to get to a hospital, you will probably die. Electricity and water can be cut off at any time and for no reason at all. You spend this much to live in a place where you have to prepare to revert to pre-industrial life at any time. I was born in Ja and every time I visit, I marvel at the beauty of this little gem in the Caribbean; but now, it is just a nice place to be from and to visit from time to time, just could not live there.
Comment section on a real estate page from Jamaica full a Jamaicans living overseas complaining bout price 😩. Can complain all you want about the price people buying it and not only foreigners. Have lots of Jamaicans with legal money purchasing properties.
This is no way worth almost a million US . I’m in the U.K and for that money I could get a completely detached house with land . And with my own swimming pool and pool house . I guess a drug don or politician will buy this . Not someone who is serious about property investing.
What are you trying to say only drug dealers can afford this property? Even if you buy land in the UK you are still subject two planning permissions on anything you want to build on it.
UK buildings couldn't withstand hurricane weather & an earthquake, which these properties can. Because they're regulated too. Also with an extra expense on materials + it's an island; nearly everything are expensive when you import things on any islands.
As a Jamaican in Florida who's into Home renovation, etc. These Jamaican people are getting out of hand. Jamaica is no St. Croix or even Belize and homes don't sell for anything near that cost elsewhere in the region! As a matter of fact, Dominican Republic real estate is booming and much bigger, better and a peaceful landscape than Jamaica and you could get this and another plus an apartment on a high rise for that money! IN SANTO DOMINGO!
This is wild, and while, as a Jamaican, I would invest in another country where it’s much cheaper, this is not worth it. Come on, people. You could get a mansion in the NY suburbs for better. Another Country for way less✅✅✅✅✅
If the government has shown the ability to handle corruption and crime then I will think about returning and buying a house in these lovely neighborhoods. As for now I will continue to live my life. However, these people are out of touch with reality in pricing these homes.
Some of these comment have no clue how real estate work because u can't afford it u say to over price live here in canada see a garage sell for 700,000 Canadian dollar
Anytime people can't afford things they say it's too expensive, if someone say things are expensive that means you cannot afford or it's not for you so leave it to people that can afford it, everything is too expensive for them.
This property is not in Canada! The price is not in line with what they are offering in this property. Look closely at the property and you will see the cheap Chinese fixtures!
@@Lorna-yn7be not because they probably cant afford it that doesn't meant they cant voice their opinion it expensive and the fixtures are cheap i have seen waay better than that for less.

@@dremac2722 … good luck. When the civil war begins in the US (after November), prunes are going to triple in JA.
I agree the house prices in Jamaica is too high. They trying to compete with the USA prices.
If someone is willing to pay - that determines value. So if people pay then prices will remain. Real estate doesn't work off opinion - no disrespect
These houses were not made for the average Jamaicans who work so hard to be able to afford a piece of their homeland. Perhaps foreigners or the 'fairer' Jamaicans??

Nice house
House price in Jamaica getting out of hands.
that means Jamaica is in demand
the real estate bubble is about to burst. one heap a apartment sitting empty
Exactly Bro.

For that price, I am very underwhelmed. Cheaply done.
Thought i was the only one who think that..quartz counter top not good easily stained vanities are cheap
Real estate rule: location location location.
@@Amidat that is why I'm underwhelmed. Those area demand lux finishes at least.
May I try out the model quite for a week before making a final decision to purchase?
😂😂😂😂😂
Nice.
Love you Keida, for that price my neighbor shouldnt be this close.
Love you too ❤️
Love this
I would want a a garage door for that price
Big ups to keida ❤
@@Tlffan 😊❤
850k to 1 million us over price they will reduce them believe me 😮
All that cash to end up sharing a pool with strangers. It's beautiful and all, but let's be real here. lol
I love it so much but i don't have the money so i will look for something that i can afford
Nice

Why are these houses so expensive? And they not even look that appealing
People are buying it... no body watch say me and you can't afford it... these houses don't stay on the market long
nice

I would love to see that the garage has doors.
... and for $800K! KMFT!!
of course... this is a car port. they are trying to sound foreign now - LOL
7:35 does that toilet paper comes with the unit?
Nice but for that price go to Manchester Mandeville and get something. The tub fixtures look more copper than brass but nice nonetheless
What is the name of the interior paint color?

The kitchen is small, most of the bedrooms are small... no wow feature for that price point . Not worth it
$800;000 usd.. is Jamaica for Jamaican over for white foreigners overseas prices are ridiculously high for normal Jamaican living overseas
Who are buying these houses
The scammers!
It’s a good look
Only the very rich can afford these
What you mean rich?
The house is beautifully but the rooms or not wide they or long and too many balcony which they could put into in rooms ❤❤❤
Where is my private yard ?
So many development but no new hospital to accomdate the retirees that are returning or wants to return.
they need to build these houses with elevator when you get old and can't manage stairs what you do
