- I check out these $45,000 houses in Pokuase in Ghana. Up in the mountains with a beautiful view Kofi Anku and his team are building 12 affordable houses in Ghana. We have a house tour of one of the expandable two bedroom houses and also we get to see one of the three bedrooms. Whats your thoughts on these properties?

Great video....I can't wait to see the follow up on the finished units when they're done.
Thank you!!! Traditional, breathable lime mortar (as used in France - a vanishing trade) & native stone might be an answer to cement - the walls will "breathe" & slightly shift (hence no mono-block cracks), stay cool inside, and the interior will have zero humidity. Kumasi, ho!
Hi Vanessa where can I get in contact with Nana kawamay.
I love this thank you!!!
Is it full ownership,or just the land but the Land still belongs to them after a certain amount of years?
Talking about the foresight for Kofi’s father to purchase land 20 years ago. Everyone’s dad should’ve foreseen this to help create generational wealth
I wish someone would tell my wife and friends this...
@@tzunammi sometimes you have to be single minded and pursue what you think is right for your family to give them a better future
God blesses your father Sir. I remember when mine told me he will never leave anything for his kids 30 years ago! Now I, as a first born female of 11, take care most of them him too since I was 20 years old. Now 45 from Senegal leaving in the USA, I thank God for giving me all I need. Parent should help there kids. Good work!
@@lathi7659 my dad died when I was 3 years old ( now 54) But don’t regret anything you’ve done so far, and God will bless you. keep saving every cent you have and spend it on things that will give you and your children value and generational wealth in the end. Ignore those short term superficial materialistic stuff.
@@joemensah9557 thank you for your advise. I am a lady with big vision and blessed by God. It is not easy my dear. Thanks!
I remember when he told me his plans to do more affordable housing 2 years ago. Kofi is such an inspiration.
This man needs to start thinking about people that don't have money.
@@deliaangeles1185 Nope. Everyone has a target audience. You can't target everyone 🤦🏼♀️.
@@deliaangeles1185 what do you want the property for free?

@@melokulelekankumalo3402 this is why we have this stupid problem today, people like you with your small mind,black people just don't want to help others or think of others,no care in the world,Yissiah kongo was about love and helping others.i have taken in my grandchild because my daughter passed away,two nephews all under the age of 4 and two have autism,I have worked as a nurse,so please think before you open your mouth.
Chaale you did it again 💋my Ghanian 🇬🇭 family and Nigeria 🇳🇬 let’s gather here and take selfie 🤳
One love 💕
Kofi has amazing eye contact😷😉🤗. A big plus when doing business.
He's very grounded. I guess living in a natural environment outside of toxic America can do that for you...
Totally agree!
Yes when watching he is so attentive and aware, most typical Ghanaians don’t make good eye contact.
@@dorothyprempeh1446 because he was born in america by african parents.
Vanessa could you please have your camera person actually show the parts of the house he points to instead of focusing on you. Thank you for this video.
Her husband is the camera man I believe.
@@holdupnow2326 Lol 🤣
@@holdupnow2326 How do you know?
You have encouraged me too keep working hard. At those prices I can move too Ghana (Africa). Thx from Texas. #Savethatmoney.
Have fun
I'm about to get the CDL I'm finna go on crazy saving run for three years and I'm there I'm trying to build me like a commercial building for my business
@@KMADE-yd2ju That’s exactly what I’m doing Clarence. I Just stopped outside of Salt Lake City. I’m at the point where I can save half my earnings.
That's what im talking about! I love to see SUPER Affordable homes that look amazing. Not everyone wanting to move to the continent is rich. Not everyone wants to live in expensive Accra either. Love it. Please show more of homes at this price point. Please please PLEASE.
This is a must buy for anyone who is thinking of Peace, Nature, Ownership and capital appreciation, Well done KOFI.
This guy is great looking out for the people who can't afford expensive houses, this was great thinking on his part..
The whole concept of insulating the walls with styrofoam is such an amazing idea considering how hot Ghana can get, this is some amazing work!!
Laudable project which fills a void in the housing market. I believe the gentleman is also a part of the development team at Ayi Mensah Park. He was interviewed by Wode Maya on his piece on Ayi Mensah Park a while back.
Please buy more lands now for investments like this 10-20 years time. Your kids will bless you for this. Peace
But it's a lease land right?
@@iTuber012 so is America. Hence why u pay property taxes. As for Ghana, you renew your lease every 50 or 100 years and it’s cheap
@@MrILES-gu3xb good point about property taxes. honestly, I would rather Ghana have freehold and a small property tax so that the government has more revenue to provide good services to the people rather than not pay anything and risk that I lose the home I left for my heirs because of a lease issue
But you are right though, buy and leave something for your heirs in Africa!
@linkzable I’m comparing American property taxes which are on the average $5000 a year to a lease of land in Ghana
@@iTuber012 They called it lease actually when you buy a land is yours forever no one can take it from you
All sold, after this episode, I'm sure. Well done Vanessa! And Kofi, I adore you
Thank you Vanessa and Kofi for suffering in the heat to show us these places ha ha
Kofi Anku. Game changer in property development in Ghana 👌🏽From Ayi Mensah Park to this. Simple, affordable, modern housing built and fitted to a high standard. Designed to suit the hot climate and take full advantage of the natural light. Glad to see the traditional louvre windows being used! Personally they are suited to our climate. Very nicely done 👍🏽
That's a lot of home at that price point, must be the start of the affordable home revolution in Ghana, good to see
You can plant a little garden, plant a mango tree. I love it.
I was thinking the same. I love mangoes. lol
Kofi Anku I have a little feedback for you. Whereas I am full of praise for the excellent approach of balancing style, functionality and cost to create what I believe is best-in-class USA-inspired affordable homes in Ghana, I was less than happy with the lack of transparency that I encountered when I began the purchase process.
The sales person had convienently forgot to mention there were extra fees beyond the $45000 and had to spring an additional GH5000 on me as documentation fees. When, I asked that it should be waived seeing no justification as to why 1. It was not included in the final price of the home and 2. why nowhere in the marketing materials is extra fees mentioned, he came back and said we could split the document fees with Pokuase Heights absorbing 50% but varied flooring material to Terrazzo instead of tiles which was what the original material in the Vanessa Kanbi video showed.
While I believe Ghanaians may be accustomed to this way of doing things and these nice affordable homes may have been targeted to middle class people in Ghana, I assumed that by showcasing the home via Vanessa Kanbi’s channel, there was implicit targeting of people living abroad as well. If this is right, I suggest that the sales process be improved to match best practices . I don’t know other parts of the world, but a documentation fee of close to $1000 is ridiculous in the USA. At most in a cash transaction, recording fees/notary fees/hoa transfer documents fees should not exceed $400. And this is when a tiltle will be delivered at the time of closing on the home and all fees are mentioned upfront. No extra hassle to go chase other documents like home title after purchase, as in the usual case in Ghana.
Why not include all fees in the home price and sell it $46,000- no fine print? I guess this may be a seller’s market for now so little mistakes like these will have no impact on profitability, but when the tides turn to a buyer’s market, this lack of transparency or lack of finesse in pricing structure may be costly.
In as much as I have decided to halt my purchase because of these unexpected costs, I am hoping to come back to the table when phase 2 is in motion, and wish that the marketing material would be improved and capture all the cost issues. Thanks

Ayi Mensah homes visionary Kofi Anku.. I need one of these affordable homes
So many positives in the video starting from the dad investing in the land 20 years ago. Well done!
I really love the units .
How do we apply. ?
Is there a bath room? Also I are there closets in the bedrooms? Does Livingston room. Toilets ?
Öy. Papa kofi who do we contacts for
In the UK you can get a garage just big enough for a mini or two bikes for around £30k. So yeah, good value.

I love the way he and his team does everything around like the beds,plants,etc
It's sad that it takes a brother like this to look out for his People and he is from America when you have Black Millionaires who buy 15 Luxury Cars and 2 or 3 Mansions just to feel Grand
He is Ghanaian but born in America.
I agree.
Should not highlight the few Black Millionaires who overspend. The vast majority of American Black Millionaires invest and appear middle class.
@@osistrunk not true. they seldom stay or invest in black neighborhoods.
Hi Vanessa just today we made down payment for two bedrooms, we really like the place✌🏾♥️❤️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇺🇲

How much was the deposit please?

This guy gets it. Wonderful interview, Vanessa. 🔥
Excellent video thank you and nothing like a FINE knowledgeable Brother helping his People

Big ups to Kofi Anku 👍🏽👍🏽. He is doing a damn great job in Ghana with housing developments. Great visionary with a mission.
Greetings Vanessa Kanbi, it's great to see affordable housing for the average Ghanaian or Diasporan. It's also good to see constructional contractors making affordable housing available for those seeking housing and not waiting on the government. Thanks for sharing.
I'd very much would've liked to hear him expound on the materials he's using. What's the R value of the insulation? Is the drywall mold resistant? Was the lumber used to make the stud walls pressure treated? From his description it sounds like he's building using the new building regulations Ghana implemented in 2019 (which are international building standards). I've watched a lot of new home development videos in Ghana (for investment opportunities) and the construction quality is cleary very bad in 90% of them, like really bad. What Kofi is doing is light years ahead of his competition. But what I love most is Kofi puts green space in his developments, he understands the value of it. These homes will age very well from an aesthetic standpoint. As the neighborhood matures and people plant gardens it will become very beautiful over time. I'm following his work closely. Also, I see the American sensibility in him when he said he was being lowkey, just building then would put the product out once it's completed. That's a VERY Midwestern approach (shout-out to Cleveland) probably why I like this guy so much. 😁😅
usually the algorithm gets the recommendations wrong. THIS wasn't one of those times!
How much in USA
I commend Anku for dong this. I only wish that he makes some accessible and exclusively for the average continental Ghanaians who struggle with finding suitable accommodation on a small wage. I also think that building apartments and town houses could conserve more land as well as keeping costs down.
He seems like the type of person who will eventually give back in that way. Once this project is in full swing and the residuals are coming in.
@@millynewson91Yes, I can see that he is a kind thoughtful man. His prices are not ridiculous like those greedy developers who only think about profit. God bless him in abundance.
Vanessa this is Elizabeth
From the USA i will get in touch later in the day after work so you can connect me to Kofi i cant wait to talk him i am not a Ghanian am a US Citizeen and have never been to Ghana.
Great job from Vanessa asking detailed questions that any buyer would want to know.
Amazing 🤩
Is it going to end up being gated
@Daily Pill Nonsense
With the Cement price currently on the market this is actually very affordable
wow , im in London currently and looking to move back and startup a business. guys like this are making me very motivated ... Good work Vanessa ...soon I will invite u to showcase what I'm bringing to our people .One love , One heart .
Wow Kofi is doing a good job, ayimensah was amazing. This is definitely affordable.
Affordable housing eventually in Ghana - finishes look amazing
HOA fees$43.37usd 250 cedi per month. $45,000 2bedroom $59,000 3 bedroom not bad 🤔
$14,000 for an extra bedroom? uhm no thanks!
59k is still to much consider the average worker only makes $159 US dollars a month as of 2019 figure . There’s to much income Inequality in Ghana and any foreigner is at of being targeted cause of this . I would be very cautious even considering this .
@@garza7676 why would you be cautious can you explain further?
@@andrewfarias4523 Ghana like many African countries have government Entries Constantly changing .Rwanda and South America are perfect example of opening there arms to foreign investment only to turn around and kick foreigner out and Repossessed there land as soon a new government is added and they see that whites or American are out pricing them .
@@andrewfarias4523 It’s kind of like gentrification but at lot large scale with whole a country being affected .
Who is this enlightened ass brother? Talking about forest floors and stuff. I stan this dude.
I love to buy the three bed house for myself as a retirement home I like Pokuase well well God bless this company it God sent
Finally, backyard space!😃😍
Hi Vanessa, I have watched your videos for quite a while. This one is absolutely wonderful in more than one way. I learned a lot from just listening to you and Kofi. This man has great ideas which he is implementing. He has vision and he does not appear to be greedy. At some point in the next year or two, I would like to visit Ghana and meeting with you and Kofi will be my priority. I just subscribed to your channel, finally! Thanks for a most informative video!
Very impressive! I'm wondering if the estates will include common playgrounds and greenspace? Also, will it include retail spaces to avoid having to drive a distance for common daily provisions and services? (The more walkable the neighborhoods, the healthier the residents, and the greater a sense of community.) What about internet accessibility and reliability?
Those house are nice and prices are affordable.
Beautiful homes! Went to Pokuase before, it is quite affordable, and upcoming around there, it also has a straight, and easy connection to Accra, win win 😊
this is reaily nice, iove the back garden.
Kofi, lunch on me. Great job, you're the best.
All 12 of those houses COMBINED are less than the median price home in Los Angeles.
This man's eye contact is impeccable
Awesome. Great idea. Actually seeing drainage being built before road shows the developers put much thought into it
Well yea that is standard where he is from.
I had a chance to meet with Kofi when I was there earlier this year. I seen his last project. His team work and vision is amazing. We cannot wait to invest in Ghana
God bless you Kofi for the good work you are doing in Ghana see the need for low income families, well done

Yep, affordable homes built for the ordinary Ghanaians.
Really? $45,000?
Fact
It's priced for foreigners. Most Ghanaians don't make $45K USD in 3 years.
I have to say, this is an incredible project by a very smart and meticulous man...congratulations, keep up the good work and God bless!!
I'm curious how his father avoided any land issues whilst holding the land for 20 years. Nowadays folks say you need to build on any land you buy within 1 year or someone will come along and build on top of it and claim it as their own(and the courts in Ghana back whoever has a structure on the land apparently)
Don’t believe in their lies. Make sure you land has a title and you can have commercial plants on with a care taker if you live outside the city/country
Need just a little bit more room in the kitchen. Nice house!!
No! U eat too much 😂.
. That’s what u have backyard for. Do grilling as well
This was awesome! Great ideas about Eco-living. Community solar power and water! I love it. I’m inspired. We appreciate you Vanessa and Kofi 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Can we talk about how us Africans have BEEN doing things naturally, sustainably, and good for the environment. Holistic medicines, etc yet the west is having the audacity to take our methods and “teach it back” to us. It’s insanity
I have an African in law who does this. It is his ego!
Well, everyone learns from everyone. The best part about it is when we work together. Don't you think?
Here we go supporting division amongst ourselves. Stop being part of the problem be part of the solution. Suppress your negativity and try your Best two embrace the positivity.
Well done V. Kanbi! 👏🏿
I absolutely love it! So serene. Cement pricing was 33cedis when I started my home, the prices for materials are insane!
It’s now 50 cedis for Ghacem it’s ridiculous and I just started my project
@Daily Pill no thanks! I think I’ll stay in the country I’m from!!! You’re coming for me and you don’t even know me. Foolish!!!!!
@@janicejennifer9861 Lol
@Daily Pill like? Especially close to that price point!
Now this is legacy building, literally!!!
Salute Kofi Anku.
The house prices are getting out of control and are now seemingly the most expensive in the world even after exchange rate .
It's cheap if we compare to the Western world but for that price one could get cheaper and better than that with better material than concrete which is not suitable for the African weather.
@@SAA-ly2rg Do you know of any such being build in Ghana or elsewhere? Looking to escape the West!
@@rosedealmada4506 unfortunately no. I am myself preparing my own Brexit. Of your serious about relocating you need to be on the ground to buy anything. I strongly recommend for anyone to be there before initiating any transaction. There is a lot a issues when realestate is concerned. That said I know a contractor that do ecological house.
@@SAA-ly2rg basically these houses are built and the targeted occupants are people in diaspora because how is an average Ghanian going to get $45,000 to buy or young graduates hoping to have their own homes? Are they paid in their salaries in $?
I understand and I am generous in my criticism of a lot of real estate development in the continent. However, government takes nothing on in Africa.
In the west you expect the paving of the roads, the stewed system and the maintenance of communicable green space to be upkeep bu municipality.
Unfortunately a developer has to work all of that into the development and their own expense. So obviously these costs are being passed on to the consumer.
In addition, a lot of construction material aren’t made in African countries and must be imported.
Also, lack of manufacturing and robust supply chain in African countries make things more expensive.
Then lastly rich quick schemes of local people wanting to extort maximum profit in a short amount of time.
In order to build houses for Local ghanians to afford, construction material would have to be mainly sourced in Ghana and can be obtained in large quantities. In addition, the government providing subsidies to developers and taking on their responsibility (sewage system, electric poles, waste mangement, transit, collection of property tax,etc….) would help make construction costs for local ghanians more affordable.
The issue with African Countries in general is shallow economies that are largely based on raw material export and small businesses based on survival.
Anyway I can go on but yes Ayi is targets the diaspora, there is space for other real estate developers to focus on locals but as I said above there are hurdles.
Good video and actually affordable decent looking houses. Are they planning to have closed gutters?
Very nice and the affordability factor is excellent!
you beat Dentaa in showcasing this; good job
Dentaa is actually a rookie when it comes to things like this. She has a long way to go to be on par with Wode, Vanessa and other youtubers
No competition here, they are all doing a great job.
@@Maameelle78 Dentaa, ( Founder of; GUBA) is a heavy weight, with a lot of international and national clout. They are all doing a good job
Well actually Dentaa has already interviewed Kofi about this development. She just hasn’t done a tour.
@@asantewaa391 I was referring to youtube so ease up on the attack

I’m in Adusah in pokuase, it’s very nice....
Is he not the same guy built in Aryee Mensah and oyarifa???
Beautiful house !Africa is the future for diaspora !
This is excellent. I wish the developer and all of the hard workers involved much success!!!!
I initially was wondering why those louvers but once he explained I felt like a dummy. Lol. Nice video 👏🏾
I wish I knew about this insulation technique applied to the cement blocks when I was building my dream house. I would have done a similar thing.
Another puppet
Wow! This is a bombshell Venesa, very affordable.
Love your videos, i want to visit ghana.
u welcome
I was thinking of moving to Ghana. Really had my heart set on it. But you can't even enter Ghana without the clot shot. Let alone, buy a house without it. Im looking more towards south Africa now. Very nice home for us who cannot afford houses here in the states. Thank you for your tour Vanessa.
