Greetings Expat Life Ghana, first of all, thank you for showing those four locations. The prices in that area are not too far off the prices in the USA or the UK, I will properly visit Ghana in the future as I continue to search for a African country live out my retirement or senior years and Ghana is on the list, however the infrastructure concerns me at my age.. Your very hard work and commitment to your subscribes is very much appreciated and I look forward to seeing more properties if you have to time. If I choose Ghana, I will purchase outright. Thanks for sharing.
Expart….. appreciate your efforts. I am thinking (want to) move to Ghana soon but never visited. Like your suggestion on visiting first. Not looking to work; retire and relax at my age. ✌🏾
Another great clip. Thanks. Ghana’s housing market has never suffered a crash. The prices you see today will only go up in just a few years . People who could afford and bought properties at Trasacco valley when they started that development have almost doubled their money. The homes sell for close to double the asking price when that development started.
Sound like New York City, location location location, my one bedroom cost 1.3 M, but I love my location and I love my building! Swimming pool, Terrace, Health club, concierge, courtyard, absolute Zero crime, it’s called battery Park city it is landfill from the original trade towers. Don’t forget the taxes and maintenance fees, $900,per month 💸
Am from near by states from Texas u guys from its a big difference in house 🏠 market now I hv people like Christian relationships family live in Accra Ghana other cities i support we call communities they call villages its very expensive thgs now in Ghana smthg in government control its u guys are very knowledgeable business finance minded in Ghana on many things in Africa if America study its there no black write your tone depends on part of Africa u from Africa birth place of man its in Bible u guys be bless
Great video. The global pandemic and non-Ghanaian expats relocating to Ghana has really affected real estate prices. A large portion of the properties are being financed and developed by Ghanaian expats living abroad. And many are under financial stress due to the economic uncertainties of the pandemic. The more expats relocating to Ghana bringing in dollars, and willing to prepay the annual rent or purchase property - the more the market increases in price.
@African Excellence Movement - They are in some of the most desirable neighborhoods in Tema. These houses can be fixed up but you're buying because of the neighborhood in these cases and thanks for the comment 😊!
My opinion as a Ghanaian to anyone moving to Ghana is; firstly, once you moved to Ghana buy a land whether it’s full plot or half plot and start building your own house. It’s cheaper to build your own than renting or buying.
Thank you very much for your video I’ve visited Garner about 10 years ago and I really love the people. What I wanted to know is that what if something goes wrong as far as needing a plumber or electrician how easy is it to get someone to come to your house for repairs and how is expensive is it to get things fixed
Hey ELG, have you heard of Appolonia City? It's not far from Accra. They have their own homepage or you can watch some videos about Appolonia City. The UA-camtress *Vanessa Kanbi* made a video about Appolonia City. The project is very beautiful. Greetings from Germany
Hi. Hope all is well. We made it a few months ago. So, I found a huge 8 bed/ 7 bath compound for $2500 ghs. A whole lot more on this journey. 🤣. I’m glad you like Tema.
I get treated kinder and with respect from the people Young people in Ghana and also Tanzania, more than I could ever possibly get treated from the young people in the USA especially in New York City, they look at A 60 year old man and don’t even want to give me the time of day, but I am grateful, God has been good to me 🙏🏾🙏🏼
Sir why would you want to go to Africa anyway, I the Africa people that's living there should not be nice to the So called white people, u should stay in the US and talk to all the so called white people u no about the way they Treat black people in this country
@@Joe-kn5ds What treatment, first of all I am an anti-racist and I have more black friends than I do white, ignorance is a creator of hate! So try not to have it!
During my visit in December, I was able to visit Ayi Mensah Park (impressed) and Madina area (the driver dropped me in the wrong area but it was nice). I wanted to see Lakeside Estates, the newer community. Also visited the PramPram/Ningo area while visiting the Ancestral Wall; beautiful area but so remote that I couldn't get an Uber back to Accra (could have had something to do with the holiday traffic though).
phonetically its pronounced timaa this is where i plan to come and live once i expat from california. your mature chemistry is absolutely outstanding. i will ask you two for more information once i get closer to changing my life. i love the clothes you wear mr. tony, keep up what you are doing you are a blessing to us all. yea
ASE' Family I'm extremely pleased that an actual couple have taken time out to give a thorough overview of the opportunities in the Region.... 👁️ Give ThANKHS❤️🖤💚
I really love you that's is a good decision to move to Ghana this is where we belong to am also Ghanian living in UK for years and I can't wait to move back and can't wait to meet you one day
I really enjoy your videos. I do have a suggestion, however, when it comes to house hunting in Ghana. Instead of just focusing on individual houses, some people might be more interested in apartments or townhouse developments. My wife and I have looked a a number of developments in and around Accra in the past year for a possible second home. There are relatively "affordable" ($150 - 200 K) developments like these in Accra suburbs like East Legon Hills, Oyarrifa, and Adenta as well as Tema Community 25.
thank yall so much 4 all these videos and info........we got land and are building a house in accra but didn´t know the prices was so high these days so thanx ,we are now loaded apparantly if thats the real 2021 prices here hehe ....big up from denmark
I'm looking into buying a home in the Kumasi region as a retirement/2nd home/vacation home for my mother. Better value for money there, especially since I want to keep my nice country home in the US. I was never a location location location person in the US, so it is good to know what prices are like in Tema, so I can avoid it. Thank you for all the information you provide on your channel.
We have bought land to use for investments & planning to build our own home! We bought early. So yes, we saved lots of money! I'm like, dang the prices have gone way up! We will be Accra, Ghana. My husband is King in investing! So happy I have him in my side!!!! Lol 😆
Hi guys, thanks for sharing. I'm so happy to see progress in Africa; I wish them all the success possible. In terms of Ghana its moving along exponentially even some Americans can't keep up 😄. Whether Ghana or some other African country I hope as many that desire to return find their place on the continent 💞💞💞from Chicago (Chi-town)
Lands in Ghana Accra is not cheap nor building materials and labour costs trust me. If you have the money just buy it saves u time and money for going to court and unnecessary bills too
@@lindaofori3914 the problem with buying is you don't have much control over the end result. If you have a reliable team around you, you should be able to put something worth wearing, to borrow Ayo's phrase "like a badge of honor" for reasonably less than say $250k.
Very interesting,houses are getting expensive in the area,travel to nearby Akosombo,a small town and the weather is beautifu,l clean, land is cheap and houses are cheap,next time at home in Ghana I will take you the,thanks for your showing.
@Sampson Paintsil - There are certain parts of Tema that are very desirable making the housing price rise in those areas. Getting out farther away you will see less expensive housing and thanks for the comment 😊!
Been following your videos and you guys are amazing. An alternative to Tema that you can look at is Oyibi to the East of Accra (Dodowa route), specifically KAZ Valley. Awesome Neighborhood. Enjoy your stay folks. Akwaaba
I will definitely build my own in central region. Accra and it surrounding are too chaotic for my taste. I own 1bed apt in sakumono, is for layover and that is enough for me. I'm a central gal.
Wow 🤩! You guys are looking sooo happy 😊 wow! Amazing! Happy to see that... I’m for real!.....You all are looking so young in this video-Toni is looking himself again and mom looking like a teenager 🙏😁! Good job 👏🏾 guys! Stay happy and looking young:).
Thanks for the info, guys. Housing in Accra are getting ridiculously high, that's why we're building our 3-bedroom house Tema Community 25! By the way, I'll be flying to Accra on 2/14/21. Hope to hook up with you guys for the next expat get-together. Thanks for bringing well researched great videos to us. See you soon.
@Shadrack Brobbey - We love the Tema and welcome you! Unfortunately we had to cancel the next meet-n-greet due to the rise in covid cases here. We will reschedule as soon as restrictions are lifted. Hope you enjoy your stay and thanks for the comment 😊!
Awwww...no worries. I'm here to stay for good. My wife will be joining me in April, so hopefully, we’ll both be there when you reschedule. See you guys soon.
$50.000 beautiful homes in Ghana that I saw are brand new estates in Kosovo. There are still 6 month rent places . I kept my place for 3 years and I pay every 6 months in kokrobite. I m from the US and I m looking at a home that $350,000 that would be worth 3 million in Bkly or Manhattan . It depends on where you go.
@melissa Dotson - You must factor in location when thinking price for houses here in Ghana. New houses are built for less than what was shown in the video but they don't come with the desired location theses houses have in established communities and thanks for the comment 😊!
You can buy the house and break everything on it down and build your own style, the price is all about location and the land, two most important factors. Water, electricity and telephones, Not common in most African countries.
The problem with those prices is that most of our people cannot afford and don't have houses like that here in America, so these house are either tailored to the few blacks(in comparison to the majority) who can afford these houses, or other non black people eventually moving to Africa.
@Staying Focused For Jesus - I can't afford a 2021 Rolls Royce Phantom but they still make them and sell them. What is not for you will be for someone else and thanks for the comment 😊!
Tema housing market does not represent the whole of Ghana. It’s a nice and “developed city” hence the high prices. Most of the houses being sold there belongs to “Old money” families who have no use anymore for the old houses built by their grandfather/father and hence the old fashioned and poor state of the houses on sale. But there are really beautiful houses in Tema costing way more than the prices shown in the video. My next door neighbour sold his house for $360,000 USD. If you consider other places not in places like Tema you can get many, many modestly priced houses. For example you can get a two bedroom apartment in a place called Kwabenyan for $50k usd
I always appreciate how unbiaised u show Ghana to the World. Thanks. He bro, u can do more and go beyond. I have great Idea for u. Please I need a contact to send this to u. It would be nice to discuss it live. I Hope w'll do it.
You can reach out to us first through facebook. Here is the link to our closed Facebook group for expats planning to move to Ghana & those already there (facebook.com/groups/350881975912888)👍🏽🇬🇭❤️.
These prices are definitely on the very high side. Those huge brand new Pram Pram beach houses are only $180K... I think the local property owners may be getting overzealous, or they really don't want to sell and prefer to rent. These may be the "make it worth my while prices".
@Browncoat Blue -Who wants to live in Pram Pram? Theses houses are in established neighborhoods that are desirable in Tema. That is why they are priced higher and thanks for the comment 😊!
I would like to rent for a month in Sunyani Not too far from Nsoatre, I would like to live next to my adopted family (metaphorically) 🥰 thank you for all, God bless you and your entire family, you are inspirational and sincere!
Can I get a real toilet in Sunyani and maybe a sink and maybe a shower, My family takes bucket baths and uses a hole and when it fills up they dig another one, Lord have mercy I would love to change that for them one day, but they are so happy there, their uncles property no price my family takes bucket baths and uses a hole and when it fills up they dig another one, Lord have mercy I would love to change that for them one day, but they are so happy there, their uncles property no no charge and a farm! I bought them chickens and ducks, only lays eggs but he don’t want to give up the other 15, I told him to send some to the butcher for a price he sold for at 20 Cedi each. The one that had chicks maybe will be some females! Whatever makes them happy, makes me happier!
Location, Location, Location, I guess that’s a slogan for everyone. And again, great content! I enjoy watching your transition. Where are the bathtubs? 🤣🤣 I would love to send some western life, to you, whenever you decide to post an address. Take care, and stay blessed! 💕💕
Hey what's up, I follow you guy even when we're still in United State and I love to watch you too together., keep on a good work, I'm just curious, did y'all ever thought about living in kumasi? I love kumasi and will not live in Accra even for free.
Third house is a winner; I wonder instead of doing the bars on the windows, can a security system be installed? Just don’t care for the bars on the window. Ayo what do you plan on doing about your dad property?
@@NomadBlack my husband and l would love to be in Ghana 🇬🇭 or any part of Africa right about now; where currently in America... but plan to visit Tanzania 🇹🇿 in a few months (that’s where we would like to relocate too).
@Descendants from Africa - The bars keep opportunist honest. Dad was married so his wife is the benefactor but he had gifted us property for our wedding and thanks for the comment 😊!
I've been in Ghana for 9 years - Tema is expensive to live. Other areas are much cheaper with comparable housing though the infrastructure is not as developed (mainly roads)
Great video. Part of the lack of appeal that I’ve found after my recent visit is how there’s an expectation for everyone from ADOS to pay US prices without the US amenities including garbage/sewer/trash and reliable roads etc. it’s a bit unfortunate because many looking to build up Ghana and it’s infrastructure are turned off by those selling / renting homes that are 400% markup as a way to come up personally by those interested in migrating.
@Yana LIMITLESS - We didn't see that I'm guessing because we knew what other properties in the area where going for with pricing. Go in knowing what they know or send a local for you and thanks for the comment 😊!
Yeah guys! Missed you all. I found a place that is near an area I want to know more about. I want to rent. Kumasi is where I want to check out. Do you guys know it, if so what do you think about it?
Thank you for an insightful video. I am interested in off the grid living. A few acres away from prying eyes would be good. Have you seen any off the grid properties in your travels? Are secluded properties expensive? Do you see many solar panels on buildings? Best wishes.
The standard of quality style and finishings of these homes are not supportive of the prices posted...going east...the housing stock there is more value for less money.
I’m Ghanaian and the real estate market here is bonkers I mean the property owners are delusional but people are willing to pay those ridiculous amounts so I guess they are not delusional after all I wish the real estate bubble will burst so things can become affordable again
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. I noticed there are window grills on most or all of the windows. Can they be opened ? How do people escape in the event of a fire?
We have a fire alarm just to answer one of your questions Our nearest fire station is in Accra and we leave in West Legon have no idea how to get in touch with them if I had a fire and I have been coming here since 1978
@Ben Karl - Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania don't have expensive neighborhoods? Those places don't have a range of housing to select from only cheaper houses? Please explain and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana For that price, these would be the very high end luxury mansions in Rwanda & Tanzania. Houses like that are going for $40-80k in Rwanda, and even cheaper in Tanzania. For that price is a very nice luxury house in Kenya at a gated community.
I've too been doing some research and have found some very nice houses in Dar es Salaam. I'm not sure about the services however, but the ocean side homes are to die for! They are very reasonably priced as well.
Could you please inform us where in Tema these houses are . Are they in community 1, 3, 8, 9, 10 etc as this would be helpful to identify how close to the centre of Tema, i.e. Community 1 these houses are and also their proximity to the Tema Motorway. Thanks.
@@ExpatLifeGhana great, thanks for this really appreciate it!! As you know I am a regular viewer and what you are doing on your channel is great particularly for our kith and kin (diasporans) to know more about Ghana. I am in the UK right now and when this lockdown ends, i hope to be in GH either April/May or June. I have a property outside Tema (about 30 mins drive) in a gated community with great amenities including being a stones throw away from a police station. I would like to take you guys there to have a look at it as it will be on the market in 2 years. I am currently doing some renovation work on it in order to add quality to it and hope to complete these in 2022. I think it would be great for a returnee / diasporan. Thanks.
So why dont they sort out the roads? I mean building houses and the expense of them. Like you said the house prices are going up all the time. Like Tony said location location, but it won't be so good if the roads are terrible.
How is the bugs or roach situation in Ghana? Yes, there are in every country, in Houston where I live, they freaking fly. I have always made it a point not to live where the roaches are uncontrollable, since I left NY. Bugs in my home is a nono....is that an issue there?
@Solentricx Inc. - Maybe if your a nasty person you would have roaches but we haven't seen any like that. Ghana is not what you are thinking in that regard and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana It's not only Ghana it's everywhere else, I suppose. So, you're saying that there aren't any even outside in your garden? If true, than Ghana would be MY garden of eden. It's not only "nastiness" that brings them but nature.
it seems like it's more expensive to be middle class and live well in ghana (services, amenities) than in the u.s. - for comparable homes, location, etc.
i love gana people they are so respectable and good people and the queen of england loves them to. ghana is a fantatic place xxx
Ghana is expensive but a great place to bring kids up, a really happy country. The people are greatxxx

In my opinion those houses don’t look that great. The designs look very old fashioned.
Most of of the houses are old fashioned, but great refurbishment potential. Will sell for more if refurbished. Here is your business opportunity
If you want more modernized houses you either have to build them yourself or find them in estate areas and they would cost a lot of money

By the way, I'll be flying to Accra on 2/14/21. Hope to hook up with you guys for the next expat get-together. Thanks for bringing well researched great videos to us. See you soon.
@Shadrack Brobbey - We love the Tema and welcome you! Unfortunately we had to cancel the next meet-n-greet due to the rise in covid cases here. We will reschedule as soon as restrictions are lifted. Hope you enjoy your stay and thanks for the comment 😊!
Awwww...no worries. I'm here to stay for good. My wife will be joining me in April, so hopefully, we’ll both be there when you reschedule. See you guys soon.
These properties are absolutely beautiful. Thanks💐
Glad you like them!
$50.000 beautiful homes in Ghana that I saw are brand new estates in Kosovo. There are still 6 month rent places . I kept my place for 3 years and I pay every 6 months in kokrobite. I m from the US and I m looking at a home that $350,000 that would be worth 3 million in Bkly or Manhattan . It depends on where you go.
@melissa Dotson - You must factor in location when thinking price for houses here in Ghana. New houses are built for less than what was shown in the video but they don't come with the desired location theses houses have in established communities and thanks for the comment 😊!
You can buy the house and break everything on it down and build your own style, the price is all about location and the land, two most important factors. Water, electricity and telephones, Not common in most African countries.
@konkonbishl - Excellent points made. All about location here and thanks for the comment 😊!
You guys look amazing and I like Tony's shirt 🇬🇭🇬🇭 ❤💛💚
@Abby A. - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
The problem with those prices is that most of our people cannot afford and don't have houses like that here in America, so these house are either tailored to the few blacks(in comparison to the majority) who can afford these houses, or other non black people eventually moving to Africa.
@Staying Focused For Jesus - I can't afford a 2021 Rolls Royce Phantom but they still make them and sell them. What is not for you will be for someone else and thanks for the comment 😊!
You guys are a blessing
Greetings
My son and I moved to Ghana last year September. We would love to meet you guys!!!
Here is the link to our closed Facebook group for expats planning to move to Ghana & those already there (facebook.com/groups/350881975912888)👍🏽🇬🇭❤️.
The white attire suits you.
GREETINGS Family AKWAABA
Great comment - Thanks for adding to the conversation ❤️️💛💚!
love your videos...my dream is to visit Ghana! I'm following your son's instructions to subscribe :-)
Tema housing market does not represent the whole of Ghana. It’s a nice and “developed city” hence the high prices. Most of the houses being sold there belongs to “Old money” families who have no use anymore for the old houses built by their grandfather/father and hence the old fashioned and poor state of the houses on sale. But there are really beautiful houses in Tema costing way more than the prices shown in the video. My next door neighbour sold his house for $360,000 USD. If you consider other places not in places like Tema you can get many, many modestly priced houses. For example you can get a two bedroom apartment in a place called Kwabenyan for $50k usd
@Peter Murphy -You are correct that Tema is different and thanks for the comment 😊!
WOW Greetings my ppl...One Love...
❤️ let’s get together and be all-right!
Thanks so much for that @johnny h., really appreciate it 😉!
Hello beautiful couple
Thanks for sharing insight on house 🏠 rentals. Is a credit report or credit score required to rent?
Thanks for sharing all this, stay blessed
I always appreciate how unbiaised u show Ghana to the World. Thanks. He bro, u can do more and go beyond. I have great Idea for u. Please I need a contact to send this to u. It would be nice to discuss it live. I Hope w'll do it.
You can reach out to us first through facebook. Here is the link to our closed Facebook group for expats planning to move to Ghana & those already there (facebook.com/groups/350881975912888)👍🏽🇬🇭❤️.
Can't wait to get back to Ghana! I should be there next month. l'm in the process of building my house in Ahwerase near the Aburi gardens.
@Keith Hammond - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
I am already situated close by you at Obosomase. We will be neighbors pretty soon.
These prices are definitely on the very high side. Those huge brand new Pram Pram beach houses are only $180K... I think the local property owners may be getting overzealous, or they really don't want to sell and prefer to rent. These may be the "make it worth my while prices".
@Browncoat Blue -Who wants to live in Pram Pram? Theses houses are in established neighborhoods that are desirable in Tema. That is why they are priced higher and thanks for the comment 😊!
I would like to rent for a month in Sunyani Not too far from Nsoatre, I would like to live next to my adopted family (metaphorically) 🥰 thank you for all, God bless you and your entire family, you are inspirational and sincere!
I’d like those folding glass windows with protection, I do not like those gated ones at all!
Can I get a real toilet in Sunyani and maybe a sink and maybe a shower, My family takes bucket baths and uses a hole and when it fills up they dig another one, Lord have mercy I would love to change that for them one day, but they are so happy there, their uncles property no price my family takes bucket baths and uses a hole and when it fills up they dig another one, Lord have mercy I would love to change that for them one day, but they are so happy there, their uncles property no no charge and a farm! I bought them chickens and ducks, only lays eggs but he don’t want to give up the other 15, I told him to send some to the butcher for a price he sold for at 20 Cedi each. The one that had chicks maybe will be some females! Whatever makes them happy, makes me happier!
Thanks so much for that @Gary Wrege, really appreciate it 😉!
Location, Location, Location, I guess that’s a slogan for everyone. And again, great content! I enjoy watching your transition. Where are the bathtubs? 🤣🤣
I would love to send some western life, to you, whenever you decide to post an address. Take care, and stay blessed! 💕💕
@Quansette Canady - You got it exactly and thanks for the comment 😊!
GOD IS FAITHFUL
Hey what's up, I follow you guy even when we're still in United State and I love to watch you too together., keep on a good work, I'm just curious, did y'all ever thought about living in kumasi? I love kumasi and will not live in Accra even for free.
@margaret1353 - Thanks for following us! We like Tema because our family is there. We really enjoy living there and thanks for the comment 😊!
Thank you, good to know
Thanks for sharing.🌷
Thanks for watching!
Third house is a winner; I wonder instead of doing the bars on the windows, can a security system be installed? Just don’t care for the bars on the window. Ayo what do you plan on doing about your dad property?
@@NomadBlack my husband and l would love to be in Ghana 🇬🇭 or any part of Africa right about now; where currently in America... but plan to visit Tanzania 🇹🇿 in a few months (that’s where we would like to relocate too).
@Descendants from Africa - The bars keep opportunist honest. Dad was married so his wife is the benefactor but he had gifted us property for our wedding and thanks for the comment 😊!
I've been in Ghana for 9 years - Tema is expensive to live. Other areas are much cheaper with comparable housing though the infrastructure is not as developed (mainly roads)
Great video. Part of the lack of appeal that I’ve found after my recent visit is how there’s an expectation for everyone from ADOS to pay US prices without the US amenities including garbage/sewer/trash and reliable roads etc. it’s a bit unfortunate because many looking to build up Ghana and it’s infrastructure are turned off by those selling / renting homes that are 400% markup as a way to come up personally by those interested in migrating.
@Yana LIMITLESS - We didn't see that I'm guessing because we knew what other properties in the area where going for with pricing. Go in knowing what they know or send a local for you and thanks for the comment 😊!
That first house looks really nice
Great comment - Thanks for adding to the conversation ❤️️💛💚!
Yeah guys! Missed you all. I found a place that is near an area I want to know more about. I want to rent. Kumasi is where I want to check out. Do you guys know it, if so what do you think about it?
Kumasi is about 4 hrs drive from Accra.
@Charlotte Robinson - We plan on visiting Kumasi and doing a housing video from there and thanks for the comment 😊!
Thank you for an insightful video. I am interested in off the grid living. A few acres away from prying eyes would be good. Have you seen any off the grid properties in your travels? Are secluded properties expensive? Do you see many solar panels on buildings? Best wishes.
@L Rees - Plenty of areas like that around and thanks for the comment 😊!
Look up Eric McNeal on UA-cam. I think he has something like that there.
@@Glamyougirl17 Thank you.
@@ExpatLifeGhana Thank you.
SHAKA, GREAT
The standard of quality style and finishings of these homes are not supportive of the prices posted...going east...the housing stock there is more value for less money.
Excalty
@Rudy Grissom -Location, location, location. You're for the neighborhood in these instances and thanks for the comment 😊!
I’m Ghanaian and the real estate market here is bonkers
I mean the property owners are delusional but people are willing to pay those ridiculous amounts so I guess they are not delusional after all
I wish the real estate bubble will burst so things can become affordable again
@Michael Appiah - It's all about location and thanks for the comment 😊!
I am curious about Somanya, that is in between Tema and Akosombo, what information do you have on that?
Maybe Ayo and husband can come and have a look at it and put it on their channel.
Thank you for your comment! ❤️️👍😊
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. I noticed there are window grills on most or all of the windows. Can they be opened ? How do people escape in the event of a fire?
Yes they can be open
@Faithlyn O. -Most can open and thanks for the comment 😊!
Why are there bars on the windows? Are there security worries?
@Gerard Morris - To keep opportunist honest and thanks for the comment 😊!
Hi Ayo & Tony! I’m 1st!
👏👏🙏
@Katherine McConico - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
We have a fire alarm just to answer one of your questions Our nearest fire station is in Accra and we leave in
West Legon have no idea how to get in touch with them if I had a fire and I have been coming here since 1978
@pearl Raji - For the fire brigade dial 192 and thanks for the comment 😊!
Rwanda, Kenya & Tanzania have better and more reasonable options.
I have my doubts... If you wanna stay in the capital. But in the outside i feel u.
@Ben Karl - Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania don't have expensive neighborhoods? Those places don't have a range of housing to select from only cheaper houses? Please explain and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana For that price, these would be the very high end luxury mansions in Rwanda & Tanzania. Houses like that are going for $40-80k in Rwanda, and even cheaper in Tanzania. For that price is a very nice luxury house in Kenya at a gated community.
I've too been doing some research and have found some very nice houses in Dar es Salaam.
I'm not sure about the services however, but the ocean side homes are to die for! They are very reasonably priced as well.
Could you please inform us where in Tema these houses are . Are they in community 1, 3, 8, 9, 10 etc as this would be helpful to identify how close to the centre of Tema, i.e. Community 1 these houses are and also their proximity to the Tema Motorway. Thanks.
@Kwame Osei - They are in communities 6, 10, 11 and 12. They are the most desired neighborhoods in Tema and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana great, thanks for this really appreciate it!! As you know I am a regular viewer and what you are doing on your channel is great particularly for our kith and kin (diasporans) to know more about Ghana. I am in the UK right now and when this lockdown ends, i hope to be in GH either April/May or June. I have a property outside Tema (about 30 mins drive) in a gated community with great amenities including being a stones throw away from a police station. I would like to take you guys there to have a look at it as it will be on the market in 2 years. I am currently doing some renovation work on it in order to add quality to it and hope to complete these in 2022. I think it would be great for a returnee / diasporan. Thanks.
So why dont they sort out the roads? I mean building houses and the expense of them. Like you said the house prices are going up all the time. Like Tony said location location, but it won't be so good if the roads are terrible.
Great comment - Thanks for adding to the conversation ❤️️💛💚!
Nice house s good job. Well. done God bless you all bye for now
Thank you for your comment! ❤️️👍😊
How is the bugs or roach situation in Ghana? Yes, there are in every country, in Houston where I live, they freaking fly. I have always made it a point not to live where the roaches are uncontrollable, since I left NY. Bugs in my home is a nono....is that an issue there?
@Solentricx Inc. - Maybe if your a nasty person you would have roaches but we haven't seen any like that. Ghana is not what you are thinking in that regard and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana It's not only Ghana it's everywhere else, I suppose. So, you're saying that there aren't any even outside in your garden? If true, than Ghana would be MY garden of eden. It's not only "nastiness" that brings them but nature.
I'm a bit concerned about the bars on the window in case of an emergency. Can they be released or unlock should one need to get out or escape a fire?
@Iya Mari -Yes they can be opened if needed and thanks for the comment 😊!
those rooms with the screen doors. be explain. thank you.
@Bonita Penn -Air flow without bugs and thanks for the comment 😊!
Now more people are building houses, but before most people just rent, buy cars 🚗 n chill.
@Thank God - Home ownership is always the best and thanks for the comment 😊!
WE WANT TEMA !!!
@BREW QUEEN YISREAL. - Tema we dey! and thanks for the comment 😊!
What is the home buying process? Is it possible to get a loan? Any problems with land ownership for foreigners/investors? Clear title.?
@Rochelle McKinney -Very hard for a foreigners to get home loans without more than half down for the deposit and thanks for the comment 😊!
Compared to us it’s still much cheaper then here in Maryland
What's with the bars on the windows?
Hi Ayo and Tony how are you guys doing ? I am at community 11 and I want to meet you.
@Winifred Gorleku -We are well thanks. We are always out somewhere so stay on the watch and thanks for the comment 😊!
it seems like it's more expensive to be middle class and live well in ghana (services, amenities) than in the u.s. - for comparable homes, location, etc.
@orange moon glows -Yes, you pay to play here for sure and thanks for the comment 😊!
That's what I'm starting to think too, other than medical care which seemed to be much more reasonable than the US for a very nice facility.
