    I'm glad you like my country Barbados. The north is St. Lucy, St. Peter, (Speightstown pronounced Spikestown). The South is Christ Church, St. Philip, a part of St. Michael. I hope you enjoy all of your stay.

    I currently live in Barbados and housing prices are totally ridiculous. I find that a lot of locals live with family or live in a family home (grandma/grandad). Also in order to find a decent place you definitely have to know people because a lot of landlords don't post online. The other ridiculous thing is that landlords are looking for short term rentals so they can charge more. Right now I live in a one bedroom with a family of 3, our rent is $800 BBD. It's nice, good location, but I really want a bigger space and I am also tired of sharing a bathroom.

    • @BelemaRonabere
      @BelemaRonabere  Год назад

      I feel your pain on sharing a bathroom loool. I moved to a smaller house and we now share one bathroom. The struggle is real but I've chosen to live a little more frugal this year.
      Very true on the living with parents because the housing market is crazy.
      Fingers crossed that things get better.

    From what I'm seeing she has shown some high end houses and again that depends on which part of the island you are looking. Rental cost varies. It is best to come see for yourself.

    • @BelemaRonabere
      @BelemaRonabere  5 месяцев назад

      High end??? Loool please no. High end houses start at $4000USD per month for a 2 bedroom. Unless you’re comparing furnished and unfurnished, these are rent prices. The cheapest you can find is if you live in a wooden house and share the space with roommates and live far from the main city area like St Joseph or St Philip

    • @BelemaRonabere
      @BelemaRonabere  Год назад +2

      We use both BBD and USD interchangeably when talking about prices here. There are definitely cheaper houses here. Keep in mind that this is a 4 bedroom, 4 bath and 1 powder room house fully furnished. If you rent unfurnished and fewer rooms, it's definitely a different pricing.
      So, no we don't pay everything in USD. We use BBS or BDS, whichever name you prefer.

    Barbados is expensive; rents, mortgage, food, electricity, water. Citizens pay very high taxes. Most locals live with relatives. Those that have to rent do so with a heavy heart and a light purse. Only the very wealthy can easily afford the high prices of accommodation. This is because Barbados attracts a lot of tourists and they pay in US ot pounds for what they want, thereby dtiving up the price of the most basic things.

      @BelemaRonabere  Год назад +1

      @@omodeeable2000 Oh I see your question. I have no clue honestly. I do know that the locals live very differently from us.
      For example, we usually rent furnished houses. They rent unfurnished houses for 1/4 the cost.
      It's not always wise for us to do so, since we're not longer term residents.
      The locals also live closer to the country side. Nomads like us usually choose city centers and places close to everything. When you combine these factors, you'll see that the cost of living is different.
      However, I have to add that the rent increased because of the nomad visa. More people came in with endless budgets and there is very limited supply of housing.
      I hate to say this but I blame the increase on the Western travelers. They often come in and just post on FB saying "I'm looking for a 4 bedroom for 2 weeks and my budget is $10k USD. House owners started doubling prices ridiculously.
      So.... yeah.
      I'll probably do an entire video on this lol.
      The one thing we all collectively feel the effect of is definitely cost of food and transport. There is a 17.5% VAT and it costs $3.50 BDS to for any bus trip regardless of distance.
