Hi
Would be great if you guys could provide pricing as you go along (I.e. I’m interested in the cost of cabinets, the kitchen island, etc). It looks like it’s going to look awesome once finished. You’re doing it right by being on site while the work is being done.
Great video guys Can you share rough square foot cost
@@savage1589 We paid $1200/SQ meter. In US dollars. There are some builders that will try and sell you on cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Our price covered all permits and a pool as well.
Hey nice video! Was that price per square meter in USD or CAD?
All real estate purchases here are in US dollars or pesos
What is the total build time?
@@desireeugarte9575 At 10 months, should be in soon.
How exciting. We are renting in Sosua this winter and it will be our second year doing that. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks for watching!
Great video guys, I’m looking for someone to design my kitchen.. Can you tell me who designed your kitchen.. I would greatly appreciate it.
Our builder hired a company from Santiago, who came and built it on site.
@ how can I get in contact with that company?
Hey guys I just found your videos,Iam from Santiago and I will love to go to that area that you are staying and building,there are more lots available?I would want to get the real estate phone number.i love the neighborhood
@@joselinaortega548 I will pass your info on to our realtor. Do you have a preferred method of contact?
The place looks great
Thank you so much!
looks like the villa is coming along nicely, thanks for sharing your journey, we enjoy the vids
Glad to have you along.
Looks great you two! We will be down there x-mass day afternoon For. Mouth! When’s happy hour! ❤ from 🇨🇦BC
There's always a happy hour somewhere!
Another great update……”Welcome to Fleep Fawps”!! Hahaha!
Beard on point ❤
Wow, I love looking at your updates on your new home; it's so inspiring. I'm close to closing on my condo in Sosua, and I'm looking for contractors in the area to install new tile flooring and paint. Any recommendations?
I can ask my builder, I think he contracts larger jobs, but he might know someone.
That would be awesome, Thank you
I spoke with him and he said he could actually quote you on the work if you'd like
I’m living vicariously though you all today
@@mviking39 Not much happening with all this rain. Good day to watch videos .
@ 👍
Awesome
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you so much for watching!
How much is your friends villa? Where is it located?
It's in Casa Linda, Sosua. I can put you in touch if your interested. It's big, 6 bedrooms.
Looks amazing. How much longer until you get to move in?
Seems like an endless supply of Dominican delays at the moment. We are hoping now, by December 😢
Love the sliding doors, the front door, and your vanity! It's really coming along nicely! 🙂
Thank you sooo much!
really looking good! wont be much longer before its all done.
Depending on weather and getting the power authority to cooperate hooking up the electrical, by November we hope.
Looking good. What size is that pool if you don’t mind sharing?
Approx. 9500 gallons
Looking really great guys. On the final stretch now. Keith
Opening that door is like walking into your own palace. 🏰 ❤
❤️❤️ kind of awesome
Looking fabulous!!
Great video will be the Dec 25 2023 would like to go for a drink with you ! ❤ from 🇨🇦
Is it cheaper to build then buy a villa
Most definitely cheaper to build, as long as you have the time.
It’s not better to buy a villa then build one. Or is building one cheaper then buying one ??
Yes, cheaper.
Great video guys ! Thanks ❤️
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
In the USA 🇺🇸 n a national holiday All races take off!
@@miguelcamacho269 ?
Great work lots of info thank you. Love the builder.
@@EmpowerWave-ol2ol thanks for watching. More to come!
Looking good you guys.
Nice job We build in san pedro de macoris Our smal apartamento
Pool starting to look good but still no Retaining walls?
@@aaronrhaywood not yet, soon I hope!
its getting there and looks good. when in santiago try the big hardware type store called ochoa same as home depot and lowes also.
@@heavyd8858 will do, we only knew about Bellon.
Wow! That pool looks huge. Fun times ahead 👍🏼🏝️🌞
@@juliabevan3875 not really, but definitely will be used!
Been following your journey! Fun to watch the progress…..just spent our first winter in our new home in Cabarete! Rented previous two years. Based in Ottawa.
@@twbuckle thanks for watching, amazes us that so many people are following our adventure!👍🏻

Sosua
Hello am omar love your video, am trying to build a villa in DR too, can you give me ur builder contact??
Do you have a WhatsApp number that I can forward the info to? Or messenger or Instagram account?
How deep is your pool???
@@JC-ty3zq 5 1/2'
Hey nice villa building!!!Have you heard the bad news!!!Dominican Republic Government plans to DEPORT Haitians!!!
Old news. They've been doing it all year.
@@OurDominicanDream OK kool,I read about it recently
That looks great bro welcome to the DR wish you the best 👍
@@elmaster091 thank you so much.
Pool looks great !
Looking great! 1100sq. Mt. Include pool?
@@lylerobinson3515 Property is 563 sq/m and house is 110. Price included pool and patio, but the 110 SQ footage is only the house.
Cool video. What's your thoughts on how much a monthly budget to live your life style there?
@@lylerobinson3515 we are hoping to live on about $2500/month. We are soon to be getting estimates for solar, so we can go off grid and save on the monthly power bill.
Will you be under 200 grand on the house land? What’s the monthly HOA fee? Sorry for being so direct
@@MattSmith-pf5di We will be under $250 Canadian all in including solar. HOA is $100/month.
@@OurDominicanDream 😎 nice
What store was that?
@@lylerobinson3515 Called Playaro. It's one of the local supermarkets.
Congratulations on moving to the Dominican Republic and building a beautiful home very cool and great choice. My wife and I currently live in California and want to know the square footage or meters of your home? Thanksd
@@KevinHunter-mi1qi The property is 563 sq/m and the house is 110 sq/m. Thanks for watching!
How much was spent total
@@DonJose86 $1200/sq m. Land was $30,000. House is 110sq/m. There will be some additional costs as we have requested extras such as the stairs to the roof.
@@OurDominicanDreamthanks for the response you got a sub, however your builder ripped you a new one 1200/Sq meter is highway robbery, but compared to your country cost I know u guys were still happy, the key is to negotiate negotiate then do it some more along with some spanish you get it ch3aper, I did my house for 700/Sq meter but I speak the language even though I'm still a gringo
@@DonJose86 well we saw the quality 700 would get us, so we went with the better builder. 👍🏻
Good job, keep it up. Would it be possible for you guys to do a cost breakdown of the project ?
@@Odiaz010 sounds like something we could do in a future video for sure. Very affordable if you are used to North American prices!
@@OurDominicanDream Will look forward to it. Thanks for the reply
