Just purchased Property here this year. Can't wait to build our "Home" at Villa Josephina! Look out early retirement...here I come all the way from Canada!
Good job as always, Jim. Nice to see you being rewarded with more subscribers. I am also curious how close neighborhoods like this are to malls and other shopping
@@devonferris just saying outside of big cities way better. But pollution in the Philippines 🇵🇭 is bad. Burning garbage daily and burning rice field etc cutting too much trees 🌲 on the mountains get floods down the village. Make sure you find a place away from neighbors many dogs running around. Gated communities are quiet and orderly...but need to pay fees all the time just saying. I own a house there and married with one
wow , so beautiful Davao City is the best . hopefully After this pandemic # go on vacation # Davao City ,yes ,yay , can you also feature Ladislawa Village, Insular , Monteritz North Crest Panorama Please # watching from North Hollywood Ca. USA Thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏
I am an American & I live in Davao City with my girlfriend. I agree it is perfectly safe. Safer than some parts Columbus Ohio where I am from. I lived in Bohol for over a year and liked it there too. We plan to marry and may build there because her mom will give us the land to build on. Before someone says she could kick my off of the property, she wouldn't. She could kill me in my sleep too but she wouldn't do that either. I don't believe you can love someone you don't trust. Yes, I had an ex-wife that screwed me but that doesn't mean she will. life is risky period.
My husband and I planning to retire in the Philippines, which town in Davao that is nice to live and close to the mall? Btw glad u found the right person. All the best!
Thanks for the video Jim! Where did you find the listings for the houses for sale please? Also would you know what the avg price for lots are at villa josefina and also avg cost to construct a house? Thanks
William Lee, You can find listings online just by searching, "villa josefina resort village davao house for sale". You can also contact a local real estate agent online to help you out. You can contact Villa Josefina's homeowner's association directly from their website. Here is the link. villajosefina.business.site This may get you a better deal then you can find online. I think online prices are usually very high compared to what you can get if you are there. I always recommend renting first for at least 3 months. Good luck!
Can u create a Video thats shows the cosmopolitan and urban lifestyle and aspect of Davao City? From its Major Business districts and IT Parks, hotels, malls, universities and colleges, major roads and thorough fares. I hope u will consider my suggestion. Thank you!
Hello Jim, thank you for the video. Sorry for asking but the first house in the video that has the rounded windows and walls right by the water. May I ask the asking price for that?
Jeepney is probably the most economic and ICONIC way to circle around Metro Manila and it includes a wide variety of events/entertainment that would optionally requires you to give tips and these are drummer at the back of the jeep, singers, people who randomly gives you a small envelope, religious activity and the most aggressive of them all the holdduppers especially for expats like you, DONT fight them! unless you don't want to see the next sun rise.
One reason foreigners are not allowed to own land in ph is the land value will rise many filipinos will not be able to compete with foreigners that can pay higher or government will have a harder time to buy land to build social services buildings and lowcost housing due to high value, i believe canadian and australians are actually feeling it right now due to influx of rich chinese buying properties eventhough the population density of these places are quite low, but in the ph where you have higher pop density it will be fatal
I have heard a lawyer in the Philippines advise to buy in your GF's name and get a legal 50 year lease signed from her BEFORE marriage. After marriage this agreement would not be recognized by the courts. This arrangement is usually upheld by the courts so she cannot take the property if something goes wrong. I don't know if this is true but wondering if anyone has tried this successfully?
$1000 per month USD? Wow, that’s expensive to “rent” it. I pay $800 Monthly in Hawaii. I thought Philippines was very cheap to live. If it cost this much per month, then Hawaii is a better option.
I’ve seen many apartments for 1800$ a month in Atlanta and we are a cheap sunbelt city. NYC apartments regularly go for 2500-3000$ a month. Sanfransisco averages 4000$ a month. So 1k for a house in a gated community isn’t terrible, granted it is in a third world county but at least it’s a gated community
Tom Tapp, Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. It seems like most of the developments here fill up very slowly even during the best of times and those are the asking prices. Who knows what they will actually sell for.
Living Overseas TV O would not touch them at those prices in good times. But now they will sit or the bank steps in and takes them back. What’s happening in the Philippines is unprecedented...1996 it was very bad under Marcos and Duterte seems to be pushing that same agenda. It’s not gonna be a pretty picture for many there. Wait about 3 months and you will see what starts. Check back in three months....I’ll be waiting

Richard Roberts, Best of luck. I think you will like it there.
You, don't own it though.
Hi Richard congrats! May i ask the price you were able to get and where you found the property? Im looking to settle there as well. Thanks.
Non Citizens are not allowed to buy property here. So it is not yours.
Your channel is very Informative, thanks for sharing with us.
Joel Regidor, Thanks for watching!
Good job as always, Jim. Nice to see you being rewarded with more subscribers. I am also curious how close neighborhoods like this are to malls and other shopping
Thanks John. 👍
Villa de Mercedes is only a 5 min drive to a new mall Gaisano Toril that I believe opened in 2019 everything is there.
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the vlog
Glad you enjoyed it
Great info how to buy house and least the land...thank you for sharing. Mountain view scenery was magnificent.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you!
Been looking for property to own when i retire. Davao is one of the place I consider since I have a brother that live there.
Cee Bell, Thanks for watching.
Omg my hometown. Also checkout this high end subdivisions: las terrasas, monteritz, robinsons highland, ladislawa, insular village
amie hardin, Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your information. I love your hometown.
Hello Jim, thank you for the video. Sorry for asking but the first house in the video that has the rounded windows and walls right by the water. May I ask the asking price for that?
Patrick Pettey, I don't know the sale price but the rent they were asking was $1,000 USD per month.
Where is villa josefina.?in what part of Davao city?thanks
How far is it from the city center to buy groceries etc?

Magkano po kaya ang per sqr meter ng lote dito ? Mukhang maganda sya
My home city ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Which place is this
Wht abt schools malls and hospital...are they near
They are nearby
@@normamicabalo4960 any affordable 2 or 3 bhk furnished house and lot there
Sandeep Chavan, Yes they are nearby. Thanks for watching.
Do they do a one Month rental? Visiting for a Month, would rather stay in a community as this.
Who can I call in Davao about Villa De Mercedes
How would you compare Davao vs Cebu ?
OC Guy, I like both. I'll be posting more videos about both places.
Cebu has the higher population, but Davao is more spread out and is larger in land area. I like both.
Wooow very amazing.so how much cash.
Nice 👍
Where in Davao city?
One reason foreigners are not allowed to own land in ph is the land value will rise many filipinos will not be able to compete with foreigners that can pay higher or government will have a harder time to buy land to build social services buildings and lowcost housing due to high value, i believe canadian and australians are actually feeling it right now due to influx of rich chinese buying properties eventhough the population density of these places are quite low, but in the ph where you have higher pop density it will be fatal
Is possible to rent a house there for 1-2 months only?
Aiwanger Jennifer, Yes, I think there are usually a few available.
I have heard a lawyer in the Philippines advise to buy in your GF's name and get a legal 50 year lease signed from her BEFORE marriage. After marriage this agreement would not be recognized by the courts. This arrangement is usually upheld by the courts so she cannot take the property if something goes wrong. I don't know if this is true but wondering if anyone has tried this successfully?
Location please
I thought foreigners can buy land and property in the philippines now. Is that true?
Wrong. Only condos.
$1000 per month USD? Wow, that’s expensive to “rent” it. I pay $800 Monthly in Hawaii. I thought Philippines was very cheap to live. If it cost this much per month, then Hawaii is a better option.
$800 in Hawaii is like living in a ghetto area, $1000 area in Davao is like living in a $500,000 house neighborhood in california.lol
I’ve seen many apartments for 1800$ a month in Atlanta and we are a cheap sunbelt city. NYC apartments regularly go for 2500-3000$ a month. Sanfransisco averages 4000$ a month. So 1k for a house in a gated community isn’t terrible, granted it is in a third world county but at least it’s a gated community
That place is very upscale. You can rent a good apartment for about $300 a month in Davao City.
@@danielbeegan3107 where exactly is this?
@@ikhlas112 It's in the Toril District in Davao City
Very affordable city. 👍
BTW, MOTORCYCLES and HELMETS should always go hand in hand. Just a reminder.
Yes, true
Give anything you'd turn the music off. Your market is not 20+......
Why is the Philippines so expensive in their money but so cheap in freedom bux?
I have more freedom in the Philippines than I did in the USA.
They are dreaming w those prices....the Philippines economy is in big trouble now..... they gonna sit empty a long time

@@tapptom This is turning into a nasty Political discussion....bring it on Liberal!! The Master of disguise and King of propaganda.
edmhie1 no politics just reality keyboard warrior
@@tapptom marcos was already dead during 1996. Get facts right. Lying liberal warrior.
Lol, that guy looks like John McAffee.
If your a foreigner don't get involved with this idea of owning land. Use common sense.
well said!!
Just name the land after the wife. Unless you don't trust your wife. Then why marry your wife if you don't trust her?
much better when you want to own a land here Marry a filipina and let ur child own the land so that it would be safe for you
