Its overpriced. I think the client ignored the realtors advise. Its a tactic to drop the price if no one is buying. The lots are currently $280,000usd so it should not be priced more than 10% worse if this is not a new house An inspection and appraisal may drop the price but the avg jamaivans do not know this like ppl in the usa
@@certifiedslay2469That is actually the average price for these homes because of the demand. Our homes r mainly cnocrete unlike board in USA so they r much stronger. Many people Airbnb them and can a lot from that.

Precisely! In South Africa you can get a home 2 times bigger and more modern in design with a swimming pool and a beautiful garden for half the price.@@Mr_Brown876
High demand and historic sold price comparisons set the price. However, I think the government should NOT allow non-Jamaicans to own real estate except for the hotel industry, and even that should have limitations.
That’s good to know. Based on the video, this area looks beautiful and safe. I just read a travel advisory for Americans who travel to Jamaica. It basically says not to go to Jamaica. Also, that house would cost over a million dollars if it was located in a similar place in the U.S., and had access to a private beach.
@@addymac5341That is not why.Most housing developments have termite problems. Termites are subterranean so once digging is done for buildings they surface. Spray annually.
Oh the sugar plantation. Yes good point. How can you get rid of sugar that was there for hundreds of years.... Is the owner migrating or got a job in Kingston?
I think the price is based on the "idea" or the prestige that comes with living in the"coveted Richmond Estate" because it's just another 3bd|2bh house. I hope whoever falls in love with this idea and can purchase it will enjoy it.
Whats up with the sheet rock box kitchen? Living in Jamaica with no bars on the windows? Need more space. Need it to have a half bath aswell. How much is the HOA fees? And the light. No guys , extreamly over priced. I have been looking to buy and there are a lot better deals that give much more quility.
Ha i tried driving from Richmond Estates into town. 20 minutes just to get to the Frappachino place, then another 20 minutes to the round about and another 15 minutes to Ochi. total miles around 12.
As at July 2020, corner lots were going for US$295,000 (vs US$460,000 today, an increase of 56%). Given that the standard lot is 5,000 sq ft, that extra 1,000 sq ft is really expensive.
I love this for Jamaica though it’s very good to be able to actually view the homes from RUclips or social media. It looks very homely and I love the sunroom unu call verandah lol. It’s very beautiful ❤
Jamaica itself isn’t even that smh why are these people trying their best to make sure poor people of Jamaica can’t ever get somewhere nice to live they are pricing out the backbone people of the country only people from overseas will come and buy these do better
People are complaining about the price of this property. However, the reasons why this property isn’t worth more is because it’s in Jamaica, and Caucasians who can afford to buy it do not want to live in a predominantly Black community, if this property is in a mostly Black community. There are also many African Americans who can afford to buy this property. However, they may not want to live in Jamaica. Read my post below that I left in one of the other comments. Hi I’m African American, and I had a house built in the U.S. that is worth $500K. It’s in a suburban area in the West. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two car garage. However, it doesn’t have a private beach, or a beach in the state, and it isn’t in a gated community. Believe me, this type of property, at this price, would be off the market in 1 minute if it were in the U.S. 🇺🇸
Very thoughtful design of outside/inside space, tasteful interior/colour schemes, carport can be used for event space as so much parking space in driveway, love the greenery/fruit trees, solar technology & roof isn't flat so rain water will run off, well done!🏡💙
Fitzroy this is exactly what i said. The owner ignored the realtor's pricing suggestion cause not even the new lots are priced so high. So comparing it with nearby houses, it is priced waaaaay over market value The agents know better. It was not them
For those saying it's overpriced, how much do you think this house is worth in your opinion? How much is a house like this worth where you currently live?
Another thing is as the builder start building invester buy them out because the bank give no intrest anymore so when the house finish in two or 3 years they sell them for more money price will not stop rising until the bubble burst.check the level
Beautiful property,Indeed!!!I believe it’s worth the money because it has a lot of land and the location.One thing I don’t like is the house being rented.That’s how criminal elements comes into the community.
I think you are paying for security and amenities. They have a private beach, gymn and pool. I think you are paying for those things, because that is a $100,000 house free and clear.
Before I could take this on, first of all as a Jamaican; we #SetStandards, we no follow Trend😮 Jamaica is becoming so Americanized,we a tek on dem common cloths look.

Nice property. The color grading distracted from the room tour. Folks like to say overpriced, but offer no reference or counterpoint to say oh, 500k is too much, houses in the area are going for 350k.... just because you won't pay it, doesn't mean that's not what it's worth on the market.
@@sandrathompson63815 years ago you could find beach houses in treasure beach for under 300... can't find that now and that's BUSH. Once Boscobel opens up, all of this will raise even more unfortunately because Jamaicans will be mostly priced out.

Americans would know that this house is overpriced. Speaking as an assistant for many US & Canadian Real estate companies. It is overpriced. An american would ask for inspection, appraisal and compare the prices with nearby homes. Thats their home buying culture Jamaicans are naive so they wont
I don't know why this is worth half a million USD. They just seem to make up prices out of thin air when it comes to real estate in Jamaica. In the US the prices are usually based on comparable sales of other houses in the area. In Jamaica, they'll just make up the price. I wouldn't pay more than 300K US for that house and that's on the high end. No way a half million US.
Its overpriced because the comparable properties are 280k usd (new houses that is). The price increases by 15% every year so that home is like an investment if it can jump in value by e.g. 42k usd or 6.5million Min per year. But i work with many US real estate brokerages and i know that the seller ignored the realtor's suggested priced...... That price will also reduce... that is toooo expensive.
Plastic tubs and cultured marble in the bathrooms....do they think people are stupid. The location is what you are paying for as i am not seeing the value got the price.
A lot of these homes sit on the market for a year plus. Which is not good in real estate terms. The price per square foot is still outrageous for what you are getting, even when you consider the area.
460k which is $71 millionJ you must be raas mad, Americans are suffering to survive here and to take 460k for a three bedroom home. You get a bench smh to sit on
I laughed too when she called the bench a place to lounge. 😂 She should see how Americans with good incomes lounge. In the U.S., lounge furniture looks like living room furniture. Thankfully, all Americans aren’t “hurting to survive.” 😂 If that house was in the U.S., in a gated community and had a private beach, it would cost over a million. At $460K, it wouldn’t be off the market for a minute.

Exactly 💯🤣
This is indeed a beautiful home but it should have a laundry room good job guy’s.
I would rather stay in the cold where my mortgage is paid off. This is madness. Almost half a million US. Crazy

They sell these houses in US because the US dr always stay the same and the jm dr will it's value
Is this the best housing development in Jamaica?
It will stay on the market fi dat price.
This is a total ripoff. I live in the Palms, and this is well overpriced. Did the owner set the price or was it the estate agent?
Right! I had this exact thought. Must have been priced by the owner

I stayed there at an air n b there was no beach
The beach is on the other side of the highway...of course the beach cant be on the property.
i think its over price
Why are you selling house in Jamaica using American Dollars ?
I mean these houses was 16 millions 2006 now it’s 450,000 us are you people serious?
For those saying it's overpriced, how much do you think this house is worth in your opinion?
How much is a house like this worth where you currently live?
US$300,000.00. That said, a house is worth whatever the person purchased it for.
Seems this pricing is aimed at foreign investors, which likely means that even if purchased, it will not become someone’s full-time residence.
$350k the most
