Lovely home. I’m a Real Estate broker in NY. Would love to buy a house in Ghana, preferably in a small gated community like that. Love the heavy doors, layout & amenities. Appreciate the coverage.
This is perhaps the first house showing in Ghana that I'm rather impressed with and excited about! The layout, space utilisation & the furnishing... all nice & tastefully executed!!! Bravo!!!
Vanessa, those curtains with the top like that are called Pleated Curtains. In Ghana, the seamstresses call those GATHERS..You call those Pleated Gathers Curtains. As for this house, I'm not paying 300,000$ for a "shared" compound property. For that price point, I need my own personal parking and my own gate.
Another great video Vanessa I love the way you describe each property when you go from room to room. You could definitely be a real letter! However you need to tell us the location for example what area it is situated in where is the closest mall and amenities and how far away it is from the airport. I watch a lot of TH-camrs showing us amazing houses but they never tell us where they are obviously we know they’re in Accra, but Accra is a very big city.
Is the idea of a GARDEN an alien concept in Ghana??? Its really shocking you can pay almost 300k for a home and you don't get a large garden????? People Don't want to be outside??? Who are these developers developing for?? House is very nice but the outside space is underwhelming to say the least
West African city ppl overlook nature sometimes and value tacky luxury instead. It’s a status thing of look at what I have. Very few people actually value nature in west African cities.
@@kimoykalinago4154 Very different. The outdoor entertainment stuff can be seen in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda. Ghana and Nigeria are too held up on showing off material wealth. Unless you're in the village o course. Very few people wants nature in their house thats why so many developers build trash concrete blocks all over the city.
I really love Vanessa's video. The property you showed here at the price it was going for plus all the furnishings to me is well priced. Wondering if I could get same for less if I have the land. Let me know. Thanks. I live outside Ghana though.
@@dannynikoi5628 Land in accra is going for $25K + per plot so do the math from there. Just outside of accra is far less but obviously not as developed.
Do you that minimum wage in Ghana is 2 $/day or 12 ghc/day. The average person makes 400 ghc/month. How can you compare it to Massachusetts where the average salary is around 62 000 $/year. The mortgage is 25-45% apr in Ghana. Most of this houses are empty because it is overpriced.
@@realkumasi Most of the videos I watched indicate clearly that before they even finish the estates in Ghana, people buy all. Obviously we are not talking about the poor but rather the rich. But Almost everything in the western world is credit, the house are between 20 to 30years credit. Tv cars and other things people enjoy are mostly credit. My comparison is about the price But not the purchasing power of the people in both countries 🙏.
@@AH-qd7bt In Ghana, how many people are rich in Ghana. Let be real. Even a medical doctor make lest 1000 $/month. Of course, you can get a mortgage for 20-30 years at 0.99-4% apr but the the same mortgage is 27-45% apr.
@@AH-qd7bt Majority of this houses don't have any buyers because it is overpriced. An average person can at get a 400k house in the states. Even a medical doctor in Ghana can't afford this house. If a medical doctor can't afford it , do you think a middle class or upper class can afford this. In Ghana, an upper class earn 5000-6000 ghc/month or 1000 $/month.
$295k value seems fair indeed. Danielle and I are visiting SA and we plan tour a couple homes, will certainly compare as we have both countries as possible destinations to live. Thank you Ms Kanbi.
I do not have the money to pay but their target group understand the language of money. Do not cry for those who are capable of buying two or three of these at a go. Money is sweet so pray that we all grow to see this price as a chicken change or an affordable price to make us have a taste of living a comfortable life.
@@Epoch380 Do you know that 80% empty because of the prices. How can sell a house for 300k $ in Ghana average person make 500 ghc/month. Even a medical make 3000-6000 ghc/month. Even with a mortgage, it is 25-45% apr. It is not about having money or not, 300k for house with pipe line and sewer. You have to rely on borehole water and have a septic tank on your property. With this money, I prefer a house in the USA with 1.5-3% apr.
@@realkumasi If there were no buyers, they wouldn't be priced so. Not every product can be for everyone. They have a certain group of people in mind, and they have them, so what's the problem? It makes sense to build what suits your budget, no pressure.
If these houses were paying property rates, like Ghana shouldn’t be having untarred roads. The government must really focus on property rate collection
I agree with you 💯%. Unfortunately, anytime I have mentioned this concept to fellow Ghanaians abroad and at home they have no trust in the political systems due to years of corruption and distrust. However, I believe property taxes are usually collected at the local (municipal) level of government and this should be explored within every region of Ghana!
@@ajjunior5528 corruption is also in the west but they still collect taxes, they only difference is that they use majority of the monies for good things and chop few where here is the reverse
What corruption? The developers should be required to develop the roads before everything is approved and in areas already built, the city or authority involved can fix the roads and assess maintenance fees on the adjoining homes. It’s about time Ghanaians learn this and know the authority can enforce this and even foreclose if taxes are not paid. The Government is not fixing the roads
@@josephnortey3372 Absolutely, most municipalities in the west require developers pay a substantial “development fee” to ensure the subdivision has the infrastructure required before building homes.
Hi Vanessa!! Very nice. Wow the 2500/month is what I'll be trying to escape here in the States. But it's going on in Africa oh my goodness. So is the rental price towards ownership? Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Lol, I guess they still didn't figure out black Americans are not trying to come to Africa to spend $300k on a house. Am from Africa but the earlier they figure that out the better
Thans Vanessa, This is indeed one ofthe best developments I have come across in the Capital. Nicely done with thoughful details. Good size outside space and with adequate greenery. I hope the listed price is negotiable.
@@denniscasely-hayford3245 I tried putting a link to it here but it was removed. Your contact is not on your TH-cam page. Pls how can I send it to you.
You will find tenants but it won't be easy. Because, your options will for the most parts be limited to Expats. So it's not unreasonable to expect this house to be empty half the amount of time.
How do you calculate that in 5 yrs you will get your investment back if rent is $2.5k? $2.5k per month if you even get it in Kumasi is $30k/year. Divide $295k/30 you get almost 10 yrs. It is unlikely this house will fetch $2.5k/month and be booked each month. Kumasi is a tier 2 city with weaker economy than Accra. It does not have many expats visiting as Accra.
if you live a house like that I have a nice car in Africa every law inforcemen personel will ask you bribe everyday as you are a money machine, and that’s unfortunate. 🤕🤕🤕 if you don’t pay them they will accuse you a false statement and may arrest you for nothing 🥵🥵 there’s a lot of African people whom can live a best lifestyle but they stay low because of a corruption and stay away for being targeted .
Roughly 18 billion old currency cedis. Hmmm, i dont know if its a good deal with all the furnitures. i think people l;iving abroad will definately see it as a good deal. Because its less of a husstle , you buy , you move in straight away. But i think locals with that kinda money will definately build from scratch with more land and space.
It would be good to know the name of the developer and what the payment options are as well as the location. These are obviously built with diasporans in mind - who's buying them?? There are so many developments in Accra with no occupancy as well as unfinished building projects.
@@TheKofinyarko there's many that aren't. Have you seen all the surplus accommodation in Accra alone?? Not to mention unfinished projects due to lack of sales
Many houses in accra looks so bad and are overpriced because they think foreigners will pay for it but foreigners are not dumb and know better so you have ghost towns lately in accra.
I'm a parent and I don't understand why you felt the guest quarters would be a good place for a parent "that would come to stay", as you said. I would be hurt if my children would give me that room to stay in! Idk! Why do you feel it is a good place for the Parent to stay?
Nice house. But i would rather furnish to my own taste. Price should be around $210k. You are wearing my favourite dress again.........keep up the good work.
Hi Venessa I like in the U.K. and one of your followers. Can you lead me to the contractors please because I need the wooden doors 🚪. Many thanks and good work please keep it up
Hello Vanessa, is it possible to please let me know the company that fixed the collapsible metal grill with windows? Thank for the good work you are doing.

I was excited about this one too! X

Too expensive. Those houses are not built for the economy of ghana. They are targeted at expats

Houses in Ghana are ridiculously priced with substandard finishing. You get a much better deal in Cape Town SA or the new Capital City in Cairo.

Yup, not to mention the compound is too small. The space outside should definitely be bigger for that price.
