I don’t like when houses combine living room and kitchen. I know it’s the modern thing rn but I personally love a BIG kitchen that’s separate. I don’t like smells from cooking to cling to my sofa fabrics and I love to cook so I need a big space 😁
Hey @NordicInvestor! I live in Ibiza, Spain. Over 100 Ibiza residents have bought plots in Vila São Francisco, Brazil. Considering buying one too. Any chance you’d cover this on your channel?
@@Eastendyogipretty amazing region! Way closer to Europe than South part of Brazil, warm waters all year round, good for kitesurfing due to wind conditions, the food is amazing and overwhelming landscape also the people is very friendly and open;)
After living in Brazil for 3 years I have come to the realisation that it's a lot better not to buy residential real estate here, whether for investment or living. If you live here as a foreigner, just rent a place and save yourself a lot of problems and headaches. Commercial and farming land might be different, don;t have an opinion on that yet. Build quality in general is abysmal (compared to European standards) and finding a good and trustworthy contractor for fixes/renovations is near impossible, often your only option is to take a gamble with whichever pedreiro you can find. Especially if you are a gringo and don't have a local partner/fixer, the mentality will generally be to try to rip you off (since you are obviously a rich foreigner, can afford it and so it's justified in their minds). The only way around this as a gringo is speaking the language and having very good local knowledge and connections. This takes time and making some mistakes along the way. Hence why it is not worth it buying purely for investment purposes in my opinion, and even for foreigners moving here I would strongly recommend to rent at least the first few years.
I'm a Brazilian living in Europe. I'm not sure whether your collocation on housing differences referring to it as "abysmal" is in a bad sense. Maybe you had bad experiences and I'm sorry for that. My experience living in London and having lived in over 10 different homes is that it is impossible to match the construction quality of Brazil here. First in Brazil the walls are made of concrete, so you can have your privacy at home. This alone in my opinion already is a standalone characteristic that makes Brazilian homes better overall. I'm from Sao Paulo as well, where you can get quality workers for renovation, although it's true that for someone who doesn't know people and is not well connect that might be hard, and there are many people trying to take advantage of you.
I'm an engineer and I've worked for a family construction company in the US and Belgium for years. If you say that houses are terrible in Brazil, that's a complete load of crap. I can't remember the last time I heard so much crap from one person. I have a lot of land and house investments in Brazil and it's worth it because they appreciate a lot and have great rental rates.
@@pedrodasilva9189 I'm sorry I guess I need to reword my statement about "European standards" a bit, what I meant to say, and what my perspective and experience is in this regard is related to Germany and the general build quality there, which I have perceived to be a few notches above the general quality in Brazil. (This is from 3 years of experience here, living in 3 different apartments in SP and travelling to other parts for holidays as well). I realise abysmal is a strong word and a bit exaggerated to be fair.
@@fietaboys7403fair enough, I understand. I've never been to Germany, so cannot opinionated. In the UK the walls are made of dry wall, which is essentially a thin layer so people can't see you through the walls, but you hear your neighbours and they hear you, so I was confused about your statement . In Brazil the walls (at least while I lived there) were made of concrete and one could keep their privacy at home. Anyway, your points make more sense now. All the best.
you can get similar prices in houses at a more developed city like navegantes which has airport, nice beaches and close to balneario camboriu. my wife is a real estate agent if anyone need
Now that is more like it!! Little things… to consider! Like you said ! I totally agree. Need to look at little things, like the flooding area, and natural disasters. Because this would be in my mind a vacation home or possibly a str. I’d like to find out if there are shopping close by … gas stations and other things. But this is more the style I was looking for. Ps.. just like I thought, my wife searched for flooding in the area of gaviota and showed. Me a video of flooding in that area and that is something that is a no no in my book. She said if you find something that’s 40 minutes long from the beach that would be superb! But the skeleton of the house is beautiful 🤩
you are right! checking out the risks of natural disaster is extremely relevant. On top of that, I would like to mention that Santa Catarina is known for having poor sewage infrastructure. Therefore, it is normal that some areas have really bad smell and when it is very crowded in summer the water quality tends to decrease by quite a lot, to the point that the water in not proper for swimming, In Florianópolis the water pollution is a real deal, I know people that got sick from it.
@@danilonascimentorj I understand but my wife is Brazilian and she says that this would not be opportune because the risk of damage to property is much higher than the price you’d pay for the property. And that is not what I want to throw money in a pit. Because you already have to spend for other minor things. Who wants to be concerned about that?
You DO KNOW that to deal with real estate in Brasil you MUST have a CRECI - a real estate license ! If you are trying to sell real estate without one, you can get in big trouble ! IF you are working with a licensed realtor, you need to include their name and the number of their CRECI That house is quite isolated from everything , if that is what you like , fine ! For me I'd rather be as close to everything as possible
Looks well constructed and very stylish - thanks for posting 😊
I liked it as well!

True, combined living room and kitchen are nice but not that practical.

I am not that familiar with this area but I will see what I can do
@@nordicinvestor its close to Jericoacoara which i beleive is fanous for possibly the best sunsets in all of Brazil

nice house, quite cheap... indeed too cheap
It would be nice to mention in the title were in Santa Catarina…so we (the ones know) would waste out time. Thanks
I will try to do that
Very nice. Good video:)
Is this a gated community? A nice looking house like this without fences, not sure about that. Also, not much sqft for the price looks like.
Probably not. But this region in Brazil is very safe, so there's no need of high fences and walls
im brazilian, smalls cities Brasil are realy safe, even in the big cities the richiest areas are good
In Brazil there are many safer places
Gorgeous!
It's a very nice house
Can you do an episode on pharmacies?
Good idea. Brazilians love their pharmacies. Every town is full of them.

You raise a lot of good points. I also agree that renting at the beginning when you move here is a good option.

man what a found, im talking bout ur channel not the house btw lol, so would u be willing to do a video speaking in portuguese? just 4 the fun of it?
Good idea for a video! I've got a strong accent so don't get too shocked!
crazy price !
In northeast of Brazil is much cheaper and the beaches are better.
The house is ok, but the town is a little boring and the Beach is not as beautiful as the Beaches in the center and North os Santa Catarina state.
Small, in the middle of nowhere, hard to clean, expensive.
Everything ok
Its a nice house

Why are Brazilians obsessed with living in office buildings?
Cause we are dumb and follow every tendencies the media show us.
Why do you speak without knowing? There are many different architectures in each part of Brazil, research before speaking.

I understand your concerns. But for the price, I believe it is worthwhile. You won't find any property like this in the USA near this price.

You are totally right, need to consider risk of flooding. I will more videos of homes further away from the coast soon.
health services can be very limited and of low quality in some small towns, definitely something to keep in mind too.
I dont recommend Brazil, it is a fucking TAX hell. ( I am brazilean)
