Thanks for sharing!! Where in South Africa do you think is best for AA retirees? Often when I mention I’m considering moving to SA, many people tell me it’s dangerous, nowhere in SA is safe, etc. What is your experience and knowledge re: crime in SA???

Nice I like what your doing, come to the mother land and see how ur dollar stretches too & enjoy, you deserve to be here , it where you originated after all, I love it
Hey I had to do my research because I have been window shopping from the USA and I saw that last castle you showed and the price was cheaper with another real estate company we have to be careful about jumping at the first deal that sounds good. I love what Africa is offering to us ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I have a open mind and I have my notes and again, thank you for showing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yessss we should definitely do our research! These are “asking” prices. Like in the States, or even more in Africa, you can negotiate. And it is not unusual for the price to be raised for certain groups of people. South Africa has great real estate with great prices and room for negotiation. 👍🏽
@ because when they said the price of the castle I said let look back at it because I remember the black people on the wall but I am not just looking at South Africa but other countries too and its good value and the money too because that’s the main factor because I am retired paramedic and fire chief it’s time to live good and smell the roses lol
That's difficult to say, because I didn't spend enough time to look at each community in detail, or talk to people living in the communities. But I like Waterfall City because of its lower cost apartments, in close proximity to the Mall of Africa. If I were looking for a large home, it may be Blue Valley or Eagle Canyon developments.
You don't have to live in the gated communities(estates), they're good, but you can also look at a suburb such as Bryanston or other Sandton suburbs, I think you would love it and the private security there is good.
she says she doesn't have that kind of money. Unfortunately The Real South Africa tour seems to mostly focus on very expensive properties, e.g At Steyn City they were only shown City Center apartments and those are more than twice the price of apartments elsewhere within Steyn City. `i hope they do realise that even within Midstream Estates there are gates with much cheaper houses than Midstream Heights
@ToxxicMafia I hear you well and I don't disagree with you, but I think that some of the homes that appear on the market in Suburbs like Bryanston are similar prices to the Estates or gated communities that the Real South Africa has been looking at and there are new modern homes that get sold in Bryanston and other Sandton suburbs, some might be cheaper than a million dollars which is around 17 to 18 million Rands. That's why I advise this woman to look there, she must look at Property 24 app and find out about all the Sandton suburbs such as Bryanston and others she might find her perfect home there, it's a good location safe enough.
@godbillion_nathan I'm American and not familiar with "BYD." What is that? I have a Taycan... getting it to SA would be a nightmare (most likely) & my steering wheel is on the left side...
@PhiliciaTaylor it's a Chinese version of Teslabut cheaper, more fancy and more reliable. I am sure there's an electric version Taycan available in South Africa. I live in Eswatini you should check this side out too
The history of electric vehicles (EVs) in South Africa dates back at least 50 years, when the first self-powered EV landed on local shores. EVs have seen rapid uptake in recent years, but the idea of powering automobiles with electricity is nothing new - it dates back nearly two centuries.
No. This doesn't look like the US development. America uses wood to build houses. And there's a mold problem. These houses are build with bricks. No mold problem.
@@sipnog3528 I was referring to the appearance of the community, not the house construction. But you are correct - some homes in America are built with wood. But not all American homes are built that way. Some are cement block, others are bricks, others are stone, or a combination. Several homes I lived in florida were built with cement block. Overall, I do like the quality of homes built in these upscale South African developments.
@@DrAntoinetteLloydMD In Atlanta they build the houses with particle boards. I left that rat race and I'm now living off Winnie Mandela Dr in an area called Fourways (in a luxury condo). Yes....Africa is the Holy Land!
10,000 sq ft????? This is every bit of $7 million to 8$ Million, if not more, depending on the location in the Raleigh NC. I have a $5 million house on my channel that's nowhere near 10,000 sq ft.
That first house selling for R12 million/ 690k USD is overpriced. 10 000sq feet is 900sq meters. That's normal for those Estates what justifies that price?
Houses are also too close together in the U.S.I live in the U.S and also see houses very close together.Stop been negative.You Americans.Just appreciate the beauty of this home.
@@DrAntoinetteLloydMDTo answer the above question, I am a professional (42 years old) and own a house in a similar Gated Estate. Most of the houses are owned by upper middle class young black professionals with families. It’s not as expensive as it is in the US. What’s even more impressive is the rural country villages that are also looking beautiful. And then if course, you get areas that are VERY expensive like Sandton or Cape Town. Beach front houses are owned by foreigners because they are wayyyyy too expensive, even for us.
Hello, All I know is pretty much in the video. I have no other affiliation with the sale of this property. But you can contact a licensed real estate agent in SA for more info.
I just viewed the video. The home is 10,000+ square feet and the price is $692,000 USD. For $ 92,000 USD, I would be on the next plane to SA to seal the deal😂
It’s not for everybody. Some people like big homes to accommodate large groups of family and friends. Some people just do it because they can afford to. I’m not looking for a large house, but I do think it’s pretty and posh.
Go to the rurals & see what we do. I built 8 roomed house for my mother & now busy with 13 roomed house for me, my wife & children. We taking the city to the rurals, no need for mortgages. We build greater structures than what you see there in the urban areas.
@@Naks608 Thanks for sharing. That’s wonderful! Congratulations to you and your family! It’s more difficult mentally for Americans to come here and do that, because we don’t know the areas like you. I think we feel safer in a development.
@DrAntoinetteLloydMD I understand, you'll need someone to show you around. It's actually safer in the rurals than urban but I get you. Enjoy your time in Mzansi
Hi Lady, really you are not showing us the house. Do you watch the video before you reliese them. Go and look at other people's video please. Think about our EYES please. The house were so beautiful but camera Lady does not do her homework well. You spoiled those houses. Don't run take your time.
If the video is too fast for you, you can slow down the playback speed on your end, when you are watching the video. Ten Thousand sq ft of house is alot to show,and I showed most of it, with no complaints from over 60,000 viewers. I was on a tour, as is evident in the video, and my time was limited as is evident in the video as well.
As an African American why should I go to South Africa and become part of the upper and middle class ignoring the vast wealth inequality of 90 percent of South Africans who look like me? I would be living a life of luxury behind maximum secured fences , and when I go to the store/mall, even the parking lots have fences and armed security. The moment you start speaking out against who is really holding our South African brotehrs and sisters back, they will ask you to board a plane and leave. So, I rather go to Kenya, Ghana, Uganda or Rwanda, their homes may not be as luxurious as the ones here, but we know who owns the land and economy.
I don't know where you get your info from bro but sounds like you've Googled it. I know you've never been to South Africa by exaggerating the level of crime here. Need armed security to go to the mall? You make me laugh. Just come over and experience the country and stop hating just cause you can't afford it. You'll find that you'll enjoy it better than America.
@@katlehomothamaha3026 he said that the malls have arm security, which they do you walk into sandon mall and you see guys with assault rifles and machine guns.. and most Americans can afford to live in South Africa little bro… even our lower wage individuals could live a decent class life over there. And before any nonsense, I currently live in Johannesburg. So I have a right and I can speak on this.

Question: which development did you like the best and why ?

But I like Waterfall City because of its lower cost apartments, in close proximity to the Mall of Africa. If I were looking for a large home, it may be Blue Valley or Eagle Canyon developments.
At least you have visited the high-class estates. Come back and retire here at Mzansi@@DrAntoinetteLloydMD
When I heard the birds, I KNEW this was Mzansi😂😂😂😂😂
👍🏽
Definitely a million dollar home in the US
Definitely
No 5 million
@ Yes indeed!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
This thing or mindset of leaving whatever you have is not a problem at the end because the more the time goes by the more the reality shows
The first home would cost over three million dollars in Los Angeles County and Ventura County and Orange County in California
I agree! This home would cost 2-3x, or more, in most cities in the US.
Please do not say that out loud lest our (SA) own realtors start getting greedy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come check the Kenyan real estate, too please. They are not overpriced that's for sure
Yes and it will be made of wood.

Do you have a weblink for the property?
Sorry I don’t , but you can go to Property 24 website and search for 5BR house in that price range to find it.

Not common, but they have a few but most are on the luxury side $100,000upwards BMW ix, bmw i7 and mercedes EQS. But we will soon get BYD cars.

Concrete and brick can still cause mould 💯 if a damp course is not used or used properly. But yes, definitely better than American paper homes
Most homes in America are not built with wood. I can tell you’ve clearly never traveled here.
I can't believe most Americans can be so negative in this comment section. I believe this was for people who can be interested of coming to SA.
they are nigerians pretending to be americans
I don’t see most Americans being negative. But the few that are could be for various reasons. Our experience, knowledge, expectations, etc are varied.

Misinformation this is BlueValley Golf Estate. The price is fair.
How much does USD mean in Africa?
Multiply the amount of USD (US dollars) by 18.5, to get the approximate amount in ZAR (South African Rands)
That first house selling for R12 million/ 690k USD is overpriced. 10 000sq feet is 900sq meters. That's normal for those Estates what justifies that price?
