There you go,look at this,we pay 9000 usa to stay 8 days at Rui for two bedroom,we could have stay two months in jamaica renting one of these 80,000 per month and come out a lot cheaper,when I was at Rui,we met a family that was spending two months
I have to wonder if some of these people live in a different world, the minimum wage is $7500, thats $50 USD the average jamaican lucky if they have a job paying $20,000 weekly, so how on earth are people supposed to afford apartments for $1000 usd and 2000 USD? Weh dem think them deh los angeles?
That’s the same in every country. Rent prices are always higher than mortgage prices because most people use the rent prices to pay their mortgage and make a profit.
30 mil can build 6 good 2 bedroom nice size house a Manchester....... if you know how to build. But if you can't manage the hassle of building and workmen just buy what u like and no watch the price.
And what would be the settings for this 6 /2br ?.... would this be apartment building? or separate 2 br homes?..also estimate on total sq ft per unit if so... Very curious about investing in a project like that.
$50k fi wah KMT. The bathroom look like graveside tiles. Desperate or not mi nah rent that fi that amount of money. Ridiculous Goodie mek mi ask dis, whose $75k fi dat popdung place not even clean? The presentation of this house tells a lot about the persons in charge of renting it whether owner, friend or family.
Jamaica is very expensive in everything, including food trust me living in Jamaica is very stressful when your money is not enough to maintain your bills and life style😔😔😔
Someone work twenty five thousand dollars in Jamaica how can they afford to live in Jamaica the island is out of control Jamaica is an island those prices is not for the island of Jamaica rent needs to have control
This is the problem, she didn't mention the areas at all. When it comes to real estate location determines price as well as a host of other factors. The 50K rent included electricity water and internet. There's *likely* parking space for the tenant, access to the yard, use of the laundry facilities, clothesline and the trees. The third home for sale is not a "house" but an apartment in Havendale. I suspect the first two or at least one is also in Havendale. Havendale Roehampton and Meadowbrook homes are usually on one-fifth of an acre of land. There are also many elderly owners living in these and similarly priced neighbourhoods (in st.andrew/Kingston ) their children either live abroad or elsewhere on the island. What happens is when these owners pass away, the children sell the properties and then soon thereafter you see a set of apartments going up (too frequently crime as well). These properties are very attractive to builders, large size, "safe neighbourhood", near to commercial area etc etc. So they buy a what is single family home with a "half/small side" usally, for 25 million plus and then demolish it, build apartments and sell those apartment for 25 million. The property with the 28 million apartment(s) used to be a single family home with a pool, it is on a corner lot. Renting a "Half side or small side" in Havendale/Meadowbrook/Roehampton will run you 45000 to 80000 depending on upgrades and size. To rent an apartment in the property she viewed will likely be 80,000, nearer to 11000 upwards.
This is why I ain’t moving till I buy my house...rent price is literally mortgage payments I ain’t doing that!! The place for 28 mil thoooo I mean it’s nice and have a modern feel to it but gsassssssssss the price a mash me up 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
That's messed up that they put some of the prices in USD...like really?? In general some of those homes are overpriced for what you get. You can get a bigger 4 bedroom house with central air in Florida or Atlanta Georgia. I hate how Jamaica rip off it's citizens while other countries like Colombia, Vietnam, Thailand, Costa Rica, Nicaragua,Philliphines don't do stuff like that to their people.

Hey Rochielin just to let you know a lot of the ads in the classified for places to rent are also placed in the Saturday Gleaner. rent in Kingston is high and a new development is hard to acquire for most.
How u friend know that the people Dem gonna church so funny 😀😀😁 LoL the way she said it,i am coming to Jamaica look for a house soon i have to link up with you,
These prices are outrageous.. Jamaica need to address this housing crisis fast before all homes are owned by only foriegners.... This is crazy I mean what is the sense of the Jamaican dollar anymore if alot of people are pricing most upscale Kingston homes in USD!!!!
For those house prices you could get a 2 story 4 bedroom house in Florida or Atlanta Georgia with central air! Smh It's sad how Jamaica rip off it's own people.

For third world country these prices are too expensive for rental, furthermore the purchase is just as bad. This is not catering for the average Jamaican family/person. Jamaica haven't the economic sustainable for its citizens to undertake financial strain.
These apartment don't have any style to them the kitchen?? The bathroom is edious no sense of styles the colors are ugly some need cleaning need to be presentable too much money for what a dog house
I think Jamaica counts as at least a second nation country. At last the parts of it I've seen. And, yes I've been deep inside the Island before. So no I'm not thinking of the resorts.
@@gazagxrlx2974 some commentators are not reasonable at all. Or they are woefully ignorant about the rental and buyers market in different areas in Jamaica. Those persons would likely benefit from the services of a realtor. Yes the boom in the construction industry can be attributed to many local Jamaicans purchasing apartments as investment properties. Many of the apartments are actually empty or take quite some time to sell. Also Jamaica is a developing country.
House shopping definitely is an exhausting task. When I finally purchased my home hear in Ontario California 1996, it took me almost a year to find my perfect & best place. Not to mention after 3 months or so I got burnt out & had to take 2 months off from looking. Ps. The house with the dark brown cabinets looks nice & fits you Lol. Good luck, stay choosy & make your best choice in your investment of a new home. Don’t let the realtor talk you into purchasing a house you don’t feel comfortable buying. When buying a home, your the boss of the purchase and don’t ever forget this. ✅
Well if the Wildfires didn't get you, then the Landslides, and Earthquakes probably would have. Why any sane person would chose to live in Commifornia is lost on me.
That is why so many shack /wooden hut all over Jamaica house price ppl can't afford it so they build shack ,jamaica beautiful country but poor government
Guests have expressed that if they are moving back home that they do not wnat to pay foreign rentals or leases. What is your take interms of what is being offered.
With all due respect, your country should probably fix the Water, and the Roads first. As to housing... Well isn't that just down to purchasing a vacant lot somewhere, and then placing something on top of it? But, I doubt I was the first one to think of that. When I consider how many empty unfinished shells of houses litter the interior villages on the island.
@@Ichijoe2112 Some of those unfinished homes that you see? Are people building gradually over time. A lot of people on the island live mortgage free because of this choice. I know it seems like an eye sore but a lot of those are owned by people building as they are able to afford building materials and to pay the workmen.
Alot of ppl don't realize that, it's best to invest in ur own home for that price, just have to take the time out to save and find the right property, but honestly it isn't easy in Jamaica
Mortgages are much cheaper than rent and the bank will work with you if you loose your job,there is no benefit in rent,you can still sell the house with a mortgage and pay back the bank and keep the profit for yourself
Those ppl with the red walled house is disgusting. How the hell can you split a room and end up with those 2 spaces that can barely hold a twin bed. Ppl should just move outta Kingston and leave it to foreigners to pay their USD rent and rent cheap places and save to buy houses and pay mortgage instead
People who are wealthy are use to a standard of living higher than the quality shown. These homes are simply overpriced. The average middle classed wages in Jamaica doesn't support the cost of these homes. I'm going to need two educated husbands and one really smart dog (he has to earn his keep as housekeeper), to afford a nice home in Jamaica?
Wicked them wicked!!....even the house for 28 million Jamaican is not worth it when I converted it to USD. You can get a two story 4 bedroom house with central air in Florida or Georgia. Our people are wicked to each other and could care less about the everyday hard working productive citizens of Jamaica, the prices need to be regulated better by the government!🇺🇸🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴
Junior Lexus so true, I had to send this video to my sister bc I couldn’t believe it! The funny thing is I’m from Portland and we were looking at properties to buy and quickly realized that butter to buy couple block and build something bc it’s absolutely ridiculous
I know a 4 bedroom renting for 50,000 jmd. But its in St. Ann and its on the third floor. You actually get the whole third floor and it's really spacious and clean
That's in St.Ann. if you work in Kingston you would spend more in transport costs, wear on tear on your vehicle if you have one. Etc you would spend many hours of your week getting to and from work. Traffic in town is bad enough as it is, I don't event those who commute from st. Ann Manchester clarendon old harbour and even portmore.
@@lucozadeja.3331 You are right in that sense but if that person is looking somewhere to start over or depending on the job he/she is in he/she could ask for a transfer but I guess that would be a lot of work. Well I'm still putting it out there incase anyone enquires about such. Are you interested?
Propane Tank needs to be outside the house. Fire department need to put that into law. There is no way a propane tank should be in the kitchen. That is crazy.
Actually apartments in Jamaica should only have electric stoves by law. It isn't enforced, unfortunately. If you look at the starts rules and documents for these apartments you will see that. Fortunately we have very very very few "gas tank" explosions in Jamaica as compared to the number of households and other places that use "gas tanks".
What kind of job you have to have to pay 1000 us dollars rent feed your family pay your utilities and have a savings so that you can one day own a house
They need to clean up the place the first house or small apartment should be $35k light bill would be 5K and internet left say $3k plus water let say $2k so that break down to $25k for the space that you have bathroom kitchen and bedroom a studio and utilities $10K. even better $30K ill comment on the rest of them as i go on.
I'm Jamaican but when I look at what is going on in Jamaica I want to cry look at this if u are working a regular job you get 7000 a week how can u pay rent buy food etc... Then a next thing the Chinese people them they live in the best places in Jamaica smh only God alone understand
So overpriced, I need a two bedroom for me and my sister but way over our budget. It's crazy what Jamacia gone to, these renters go way overboard with the apartment and Rent. What a great blessing to have ur own house.
By the way four bedroom in St. Elizabeth up for sale... Minutes from Hampton High, Bethlehem college... 25 minutes from Santa Cruz, 15 minutes from Monro College, 30 minutes from treasure beach... Maybe a acre a land. Up on the market... Price not set yet but most likely between 15-20 mil. Air tank included so no water bill 🙂
Portland ah di best place fi live inna jamaica. I watch your videos all the time; big up yuhself. When you go ah portland again, go to a place called 'tranquility'. Keep up the good work on showing the world the true beauty of jamaica. From mount vernon, ny with love.
House number 3 not worth the 28 million it don’t even have a yard space🤣🤣🤣that’s at’s a straight rip off.Those places you show look RUN-DOWN. Not properly maintained and even worse not even worth the price.

Overpriced and average as we usually do🤦🏿♂️. A message need to reach the gleaner and then the gleaner can publicize it to landlords to better prepare they property and have them look more livable to potential renters or buyers. As someone who work in the construction business, some a the properties and cleanliness are abysmal
I dont want to come across like am bragging... I had a job that I loved so much,just meeting people and helping them,made my day,thats it,and working inside of a grocery store did it, in 2010,I had my first surgery and the bill was 100,000 usa all together,I pay 3,000 usa out of pocket,I was so emotinal that the company help saved my life,I work even harder when I finally went back to work,and they gave me three quarter of my check and I wasnt working,in 2013 had a second surgery same thing,work for people who you know or thing care for your life.look out for you at all times because no body is looking out for you

Guests have expressed that if they are moving back home that they do not wnat to pay foreign rentals or leases. What is your take interms of what is being offered.
This is why our government needs to build more house especially studios and one bedrooms.
With all due respect, your country should probably fix the Water, and the Roads first. As to housing... Well isn't that just down to purchasing a vacant lot somewhere, and then placing something on top of it? But, I doubt I was the first one to think of that. When I consider how many empty unfinished shells of houses litter the interior villages on the island.
@@Ichijoe2112 Some of those unfinished homes that you see? Are people building gradually over time. A lot of people on the island live mortgage free because of this choice. I know it seems like an eye sore but a lot of those are owned by people building as they are able to afford building materials and to pay the workmen.
Renting a house for so much is counterproductive, it’s better to start a mortgage.
Alot of ppl don't realize that, it's best to invest in ur own home for that price, just have to take the time out to save and find the right property, but honestly it isn't easy in Jamaica
I agree 💯 percent
Mortgages are much cheaper than rent and the bank will work with you if you loose your job,there is no benefit in rent,you can still sell the house with a mortgage and pay back the bank and keep the profit for yourself
Nasty cupboards,filty looking things on the floor,no respect for there tenants
So cleaning the houses neva important?🤔
Interested to see the other houses you'll look at....
Coming soon! lol bwoii it nuh look so at all
Those ppl with the red walled house is disgusting. How the hell can you split a room and end up with those 2 spaces that can barely hold a twin bed. Ppl should just move outta Kingston and leave it to foreigners to pay their USD rent and rent cheap places and save to buy houses and pay mortgage instead
Pure comedy lol
Nothing not "Too expensive" still enuh.. even the house fi $28M. We just just can't afford. Somebody out there can and that's pocket change for them.
People who are wealthy are use to a standard of living higher than the quality shown. These homes are simply overpriced. The average middle classed wages in Jamaica doesn't support the cost of these homes. I'm going to need two educated husbands and one really smart dog (he has to earn his keep as housekeeper), to afford a nice home in Jamaica?
Pretty much, Derlorno.
That 28mil could buy a land and build 4 2 bed room that include fi pay work man
Shalice masicka house is about 30 mil and way more bigger than that house for 28 mil
Clearly thats what too expensive means, its a relative term. Think man
i wasn't aware that the demand for rental property exceeds the supply in Jamaica.
There no one out there like you I like to see more of that
A who a Jamaica a rent place fi $2600 my mortgage in the US is not close to that with a over 2000 of square feet! My god a so Jamaica a gwaan! Wow 😳
Wicked them wicked!!....even the house for 28 million Jamaican is not worth it when I converted it to USD.
You can get a two story 4 bedroom house with central air in Florida or Georgia.
Our people are wicked to each other and could care less about the everyday hard working productive citizens of Jamaica, the prices need to be regulated better by the government!🇺🇸🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴
Junior Lexus so true, I had to send this video to my sister bc I couldn’t believe it! The funny thing is I’m from Portland and we were looking at properties to buy and quickly realized that butter to buy couple block and build something bc it’s absolutely ridiculous
”Them put in the ad and then gone a church”.Can't manage 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I know a 4 bedroom renting for 50,000 jmd. But its in St. Ann and its on the third floor. You actually get the whole third floor and it's really spacious and clean
That's in St.Ann. if you work in Kingston you would spend more in transport costs, wear on tear on your vehicle if you have one. Etc you would spend many hours of your week getting to and from work. Traffic in town is bad enough as it is, I don't event those who commute from st. Ann Manchester clarendon old harbour and even portmore.
@@lucozadeja.3331 You are right in that sense but if that person is looking somewhere to start over or depending on the job he/she is in he/she could ask for a transfer but I guess that would be a lot of work. Well I'm still putting it out there incase anyone enquires about such. Are you interested?
Propane Tank needs to be outside the house. Fire department need to put that into law. There is no way a propane tank should be in the kitchen. That is crazy.
The big tanks are kept outside for those who have one. That is jamaica if u put that small tank outside, thieves would take it.
Indeed
Tell me about it. Lol.
I dont think you will have a tank you put it outside put lock and chain would work
Actually apartments in Jamaica should only have electric stoves by law. It isn't enforced, unfortunately. If you look at the starts rules and documents for these apartments you will see that. Fortunately we have very very very few "gas tank" explosions in Jamaica as compared to the number of households and other places that use "gas tanks".
What kind of job you have to have to pay 1000 us dollars rent feed your family pay your utilities and have a savings so that you can one day own a house
Ganga money
Let's see person's who are in business, tourism, finance attorney dentists, doctors, nurses etc
I’m lookin for apartments In st.andrew and whew it’s expensive 😤
These prices over the top
They are downright ridiculous 😒
They need to clean up the place the first house or small apartment should be $35k light bill would be 5K and internet left say $3k plus water let say $2k so that break down to $25k for the space that you have bathroom kitchen and bedroom a studio and utilities $10K. even better $30K ill comment on the rest of them as i go on.
Can I suggest that you speak to if the place facilitates cars ( like if dem have somewhere safe looking to park)
How the house is staged is an indication of the type of landlord. Learnt that first hand!
Cost of living here in Jamaica is expensive 😟😔
I'm Jamaican but when I look at what is going on in Jamaica I want to cry look at this if u are working a regular job you get 7000 a week how can u pay rent buy food etc... Then a next thing the Chinese people them they live in the best places in Jamaica smh only God alone understand
Thanks for the perspective
Love watching these kinds of videos in Jamaica 🇯🇲 new subscriber
Thanks for the sub. Big up!!
So overpriced, I need a two bedroom for me and my sister but way over our budget. It's crazy what Jamacia gone to, these renters go way overboard with the apartment and Rent. What a great blessing to have ur own house.
Yes, Beautiful you are doing a good job but it would nice if you could put up to buy the price in the 🇬🇧
By the way four bedroom in St. Elizabeth up for sale... Minutes from Hampton High, Bethlehem college... 25 minutes from Santa Cruz, 15 minutes from Monro College, 30 minutes from treasure beach... Maybe a acre a land. Up on the market... Price not set yet but most likely between 15-20 mil.
Air tank included so no water bill 🙂
Thks Rochielin 🤞🏿, mi like personality na lie 👌🏿 tink big yes Don't stand for no foolishness 🤞🏿 thk again mis lady 🤔🤔
Big up
Portland ah di best place fi live inna jamaica. I watch your videos all the time; big up yuhself. When you go ah portland again, go to a place called 'tranquility'. Keep up the good work on showing the world the true beauty of jamaica. From mount vernon, ny with love.
House number 3 not worth the 28 million it don’t even have a yard space🤣🤣🤣that’s at’s a straight rip off.Those places you show look RUN-DOWN. Not properly maintained and even worse not even worth the price.
Suggestion:
Tag the subscription icon to the lower right hand corner of your videos
Also having the animated reminder with sound effect 🔊 won't hurt.
😊😊
Is the lady in the video your mom we worked together at d&g say hi to her.
oh now i see, light and water included that's not too bad then light and water could come to 20 thousand a month so your rent is about 30 thousand
What u would be using so for your light and water to come up to 20 thousand. Thats crazy.
28 mil fi wah? 👀 them bright eeh that no worth it one bit kmt after anu one two storey building
That all them do, rob their own people...you can get a 2 story 4 bedroom house in Florida or Atlanta Georgia for that price. Lol🇯🇲🇺🇸🌴☀️🌴
That is a 2 storey building, that place is actually a strata, and they always go for those prices because you also get security to protect your unit
Rass better you apply for mortgage??? Those rent price for those matches box houses, dont make sense.
House # 1 should be crossed off the list.👎😕
This content is so unique and refreshing
Overpriced and average as we usually do🤦🏿♂️. A message need to reach the gleaner and then the gleaner can publicize it to landlords to better prepare they property and have them look more livable to potential renters or buyers. As someone who work in the construction business, some a the properties and cleanliness are abysmal
How can you put house for rent and not clean and or stage it.
I learnt something day. Thanks girl.
Normally when you call and you get voicemail the house gone already... House in gleaner goes fast because they are often cheaper than the realtors
I dont want to come across like am bragging... I had a job that I loved so much,just meeting people and helping them,made my day,thats it,and working inside of a grocery store did it, in 2010,I had my first surgery and the bill was 100,000 usa all together,I pay 3,000 usa out of pocket,I was so emotinal that the company help saved my life,I work even harder when I finally went back to work,and they gave me three quarter of my check and I wasnt working,in 2013 had a second surgery same thing,work for people who you know or thing care for your life.look out for you at all times because no body is looking out for you
Thanks for this video. I’m currently looking for a place to rent as well.
Mi jus Love your smile keep up your good work..,.

Do you rent house in st Cathrine? I have a house in Ebony vale st Cathrine.2 bedroom 1 bathroom living dining room and kitchen it 35 thousand dollers per month..all new renovations.
28mill is not bad ....if its built through a contractor. But yes you can built a better house to your liking for far less (depending on the area and land size/price )
Great work...

Rochelin congratulations u nearly there
Saw this place when I was house hunting as well. Thought this was obviously a joke. Plus a big German shepherd dog was there. Crazy.
Ok good thanks for the correction, Jamaica is moving up, but even so it is expensive
