Hi everyone! This video is just for informational purposes. To find out more and to get your questions answered, visit statehousing.gov.gh/ to learn more.
This is a great country's update news from you, Nana. However, I think you should not market the new properties from the government (State Housing Company) to the foreigners as they have the money to afford these new buildings than the ordinary Ghanaians. Also, the 18 month period of making the $34,500 or $42,550 is not a considerate months for an average Ghanaians. Even, the majority of Ghanaians in the diaspora do not get the $34,500 per annum, so, how can an average Ghanaian who do not earn around the $34,500 per year in her/his own country afford to buy such property? It looks like the authorities in Ghana are building the country for the foreigners. The average people of Ghana also, deserves to live in a nice property and be happy with their living standard as well. The affordable housing should be the most affordable that an average Ghanaian can afford to buy the property to his/her own choice. Thanks Nana, you are doing a great job and keep it up.
Thank you for sharing more details on this. I saw this on IG yesterday and I was curious but your video definitely helps getting more insight on the matter. Great job!
As a diaspora person of African descent, i think selling to the locals priced in Dollars is gonna be hard for average Ghanaian working minimum wages. In the West it is even hard to come up with $34k on a regular 9-5 job.
This has always been my problem with the government. I am in the UK there's no way they'll transact in dollars for what. No wonder there's corruption everywhere in ghana.
I just don't understand why Ghanaians do business in dollars. What happened to your national currency?!!!!! Even the tomato seller want to trade in dollars...WHY!!!!!!
@missroyale9203 unfortunately, it's not a Ghana specific problem. The cedis can be highly unstable so I guess it's safer to trade in the US. Still a problem though.
Thanks for sharing sister. I am a foreigner and am interested. Good to know that it's also open to outsiders too. Keep up the good work and keep us up to date.
It is priced in dollars but paid in cedis. The instability of the local currency prompts the price fixing in dollars, which is convertible to the local currency.
Great video, but I think these home prices need to be lowered to fit the pay of the Ghanaian people. This is only inviting more foreigners in to suck up many of these properties, and sell them for massive profits in the future. We have a program called Habitat for Humanity which is not part of the US government, but is a program which allows one to contribute a certain amount of hours to the program, use personal time to eventually build and own an affordable home. We have to do better to ensure that my brothers and sisters in Africa can afford to live in a beautiful home at a price they can afford.. Thanks for sharing Nana, you're doing a great job putting out awesome content! ❤👍💯
@@latoyajohnson3335a home is a place to live not something you buy to sell for profit. Visionless leaders that we have. They need to see what is happening elsewhere and how the property market is becoming a preserve for only the wealthiest people A house first of all is a home something which everyone has a right to. I am going to use what many have been fooled in to believing is a dirty word but what is needed is socialist housing policies and tight regulation so that houses remain accessible and affordable to everyone and sustainable. Final note, if it takes you fifteen or so years to pay off the place you calll home and after that no more payments wouldnt that be just as good or better than having equity, giving you a greater disposal income and fewer bills. We need to think outside the box.
I’m a little shocked at the prices, I know inflation has hit but these are very expensive for the duration of months given. Secondly, affordable housing for Ghanaians have been in existence for years and usually, they are for Ghanaians ONLY since the government is subsidizing.
I'm very interested. Thanks for sharing the most valuable content for homeownership in Ghana Nana. I don't know what all those other youtubers advertising those ridiculously priced properties be thinking. We're coming in Ocotber, is it possible to meet up? I definitely want to shop at your store.
Minimum wage in Gh is about ghc15!! How is the kenkey seller or trotro mate able to afford this?? Even teachers, nurses and lawyers cannot afford this! People are struggling. This shows how out of touch with reality the government is. Mtchewww... get real, this is not feasible for average Ghanaians
The problem is that, all this projects ends up like a ghetto cos everyone is allowed do unauthorised expansion. There should be laws to make sure the buildings stay the same for the sake of beautification. If we want Europe look in Ghana.
Unless your location has a minimum wage of 1000 usd per month, no tax on this salary, and a life which allows you to save 70% of it fine even if rent and displacement were included, then it will be very very difficult. Successful business is also about having average people with the right financial power. So this should be taken into account. Seriously.
Why is it priced in dollars? Then it is not affordable. I know the economic problems require more thorough solutions, but this is crazy. If I was Ghanaian and lived there I would just give up hope completely. I don't mean to be pessimistic but how is 180000 dollars affordable? Affordable housing is necessary but needs to be executed well. Before you know it, only a bunch of foreigners will be living in these so called "affordable" developments. Thanks for the update
Thank you for the information you are well informed but my question is this the typical Danane cannot afford those houses so is that why did you put in them into dollars and not the Gannia money
It's more affordable than most, to be fair. But it's in USD because the company put it in USD on their website. Shouldn't be so, but unfortunately, real estate here is priced in $$$.
These prices are very high. This is definitely not affordable housing for the average Ghanaian worker. I think the name should be changed from affordable housing to simply housing since it's just not affordable. How many Ghanaians can cough up $42,000 USD in 18 months ?? Definitely not the average Ghanaian worker.
Not even the diaspora it seems they're targeting can cough up that amount in 18 months. The mortgage duration and ridiculously short and unrealistic for pretty much anybody.
@@NanaAshanti Why not, Nana? If this is an initiative by the government of Ghana, funded by the Ghanaian taxpayer, why shouldn't there be measures to ensure the Ghanaian people, not foreigners with big money, benefit from it? Every nation on the planet does things to serve their citizens first, why shouldn't Ghana?
@@NanaAshanti it’s nuts! So a Ghanaian citizen pays tax. That tax money is used to build this, then a foreigner comes and buys it at a reduced rate. Someone needs to give their head a wobble! You can’t do that in any other country.
what's to stop some rich European or American from buying doz of units and renting them out to other whites or Americans thru AIR BNB, BY THE TIME I GET THERE THE PRICES WILL DOUBLE
@@NanaAshanti No you said in the video they are selling it to anyone. Ghana will be dominated by foreigners soon. The misleaders are fools this should have been incentive for Ghanaians only.
Agree absolutely how can you advertise affordable housing in Accra, Ghana here, but allow non citizens to buy! Aden, and this is part of problem when greed and making money is motivation. The price in dollars is also ridiculous. I'm an official dual citizen, both my parents are Ghanaian. And based in USA, where I own. And in NYC you can only qualify for affordable housing if you're a local and live in a specific area code. Actually these pictures don't look that appealing with lack of greenery and brown, boring facade colors.
Even those Ghanaians living in disapora and are earning in dollars and Euros still wouldn't consider these ridiculously expensive price as affordable at all? And they're spreading payment for eighteen months and you're here hailing this nonsense as affordable? How many years do people do mortgage abroad that you're on this RUclips channel claiming this is affordable. There's absolutely nothing affordable on those prices you've mentioned! How many of our mothers in the market place or even graduates working in Ghana can afford those buildings? Yet these are the very people that are struggling for housing day in day out, so stop hailing this project as affordable because these houses aren't affordable to the ordinary Ghanaian at all. Maybe they did that project to sell to those in government that can steal our moneys from the public purse to buy these buildings for themselves and their families and friends. Oh Africa, it's sooo sad. A government-partnered project priced in dollars for Ghanaians that are earning in Cedis, what a pity. Hum Ghana, so will this country ever get better? People should used over $400,000 for just a three bedroom house and almost 14000 dollars for a condo apartment and you're hear claiming it's affordable? Like are you for real or you're crazy?
Like seriously? Are you this RUclipsr for real? Do think those crazy prices you've quoted in this video are affordable? Or is it that you don't understand that vocabulary called affordable?
Under the program, the government calls it "Affordable Housing". Whether it is or not, is up for debate to the public. I did not make up the words nor do I work for the government. Maybe next time, listen and watch before you attack me personally. It's exhausting and boring.
Greetings i keep hearing this word affordable can the ordinary Ghanaians afford to buy these these homes where is the jobs might i ask where will they get the money from they can just about find the money to pay the money blood sucking land lords every two years they are stressed the only way forward is for them to take the money that they give to the pastors and do susu to build their homes,if they are able to trust each other

Thank you so much for taking your time to put this up ❤ ❤ ❤
The price for building materials are expensive plus labour.I think the price is reasonable comparable to some estates in Accra.
It's affordable than most on the market, I'd say that.
This is a great country's update news from you, Nana. However, I think you should not market the new properties from the government (State Housing Company) to the foreigners as they have the money to afford these new buildings than the ordinary Ghanaians.

I think we may just get more projects coming up. Fingers crossed they see this feedback and adjust moving forward 🙏🏿
This has always been my problem with the government. I am in the UK there's no way they'll transact in dollars for what. No wonder there's corruption everywhere in ghana.
What happens to the money collected? Is it reinvested for more housing or something else?
I just don't understand why Ghanaians do business in dollars. What happened to your national currency?!!!!!
Even the tomato seller want to trade in dollars...WHY!!!!!!

My pleasure 😊
Thanks so much Nana👏🏽
Any time!
Ghana must be the only country in the world that prices houses in foreign currencies very strange
Definitely not the only country. Many African countries do that too. Still a problem worth addressing, not withstanding.
You can say that again why must we transact in someone's currency. What happens to our cedis because of corruption. God have mercy on us
It is priced in dollars but paid in cedis. The instability of the local currency prompts the price fixing in dollars, which is convertible to the local currency.
Many countries pice properties in USD, but BRICS may bring an end to that.
africans and their love for foreign things 🤦🏾♂️
would love to shoot a podcast with you when we visit ghana this year
Sure. I'm available 🙌🏿
It's great but it's still not serving the Ghanaian population in the country. It's a great start though. Thank you for sharing Nana 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you too

I'm very interested in starting a chapter of the Habitat for Humanity program in Nigeria and Ghana. Is it possible?
Yes it's possible
It is possible. Someone just needs to start.
When you sell your home under this program you lose equity.

I don't think there's enough space for any expansion, honestly. If you look at all the layouts, that'll be impossible.
Some Ghanaians don't mind to tear up the whole structure down and put a story building..
Unless your location has a minimum wage of 1000 usd per month, no tax on this salary, and a life which allows you to save 70% of it fine even if rent and displacement were included, then it will be very very difficult.

Very cheap prices . It's really affordable.

Bank of Ghana asked everyone to stop pricing in dollars so it's a little surprising to see a government agency pricing in dollars, I must say.
These developments are all over the globe. They are not for Ghanaians or even your average American.
I don't understand Ghanaians. The country uses cedis but trade in dollars 🤑 😅 I don't get.
@@NanaAshantithese houses are supposed to be for Ghanaians....advertising on the social media Ghanaians can't afford it
@okey9236 yeah, but they are watching so let's give them constructive feedback so they consider it moving forward.
Thank you for the information you are well informed but my question is this the typical Danane cannot afford those houses so is that why did you put in them into dollars and not the Gannia money

I'd like to see what they look like once finished. Is there a backyard?
😂 backyard?
Backyard is a luxury, Sir. But great question. I'll ask if they'll let us tour it.
Everything is priced in US currency I just don’t know how long
It's a problem 😕
💯. TY!

Is this available for ecowas passport holders who are not Ghanaian? I'm Sierra Leonean.
They did say everyone is welcome so I suppose so.
Watch. Nigerians will move in enmass and turn them into Nigerian towns/suburbs. They have doe and the numbers!
If that's the case, that's because they are fast, what you need to be is faster and stop complaining. You snooze you lose.
Let's not start with this, please.

We can talk about all that, not a problem. Let's not single a specific people out is what I mean. It's not entirely productive, in that regard.
Why are foreigners able to purchase government subsidised housing? It doesn’t make sense. This should be only for citizens.
I actually asked for myself because technically, I'd be considered a foreigner even though I was born here.

Great content
Hi good stuff
Is it legally possible to buy and rent the house out through AirBnB?
I doubt it but doesn't hurt to ask them directly
I wonder if Blackrock is going to come along and buy it up.
I hope not.
FACTS. I thought they told white devils to get out
Do you own the homes and land after paying the money?
Ofcourse. I hope when you pay for a house it's yours.
Thanks
You're welcome 😊
For local, that's too expensive
True.
I can’t find the prices on their website especially the Kumasi projects
Call their contact numbers for that information.
@@NanaAshanti ok thank you

Please send an email nanaashantiinfo@gmail.com
@@NanaAshantiplease send me the prices of these houses.❤
Whats the name of the other company you mentioned in the conclusion portion of the video?
I'd love to but I reached out to them to let me share their information on my channel and they declined 🤷 no idea why.
@@NanaAshanti why they don’t want business? Now the question becomes is that other company legitimate?

Why are they pricing in USD? Ghana awwwww.
3y3 asem ooooo 😂😂😂
scam 😂😂😂😂 13,000.00 dollars for studio flat phew bloody scam…… no way
👀
Do you mean it's too cheap or too pricey?
They should only sell to Ghanaians only
Is it?
@@NanaAshanti No you said in the video they are selling it to anyone. Ghana will be dominated by foreigners soon. The misleaders are fools this should have been incentive for Ghanaians only.
