Jasmine i love your chamnel but i have a 3 bedroom house in kumasi 500cedi a month with option 6 month to 1 year why r these pricrs so high this is rediculouse

@@stephaniepope2786 It is ridiculous.They're quoting the same prices from abroad but this is Ghana mann so let's be reasonable here.A lot of people am sure will pass on these houses because they can likewise find cheaper somewhere in the country🇬🇭

Absolutely rip off. Ghanafo are becoming thieves hidden behind the Bible.

Your comments are very rude. Some people will see those houses and consider it as cheap. I was in Ghana 2 years ago,and yes they really charge in dollars,cause of the inconsistency in cedis. If it's too expensive for you,it's not for you... Simple

@Sherrin Ross your comment is great and factual

You're correct. My friend paid 400 USD for the year. He is born and raised in Ghana so it's a rip off. It doesn't even look nice.

@@etinyeneuboh6881 Guess, you are a land lord.

Absolutely correct! I will live in a bedroom until I find reasonably priced housing. Many think Africans in the diaspora can afford to pay the high prices. I will not or I can stay where I am.

Ase'

Anthony Owusu they’re are other places that are cheaper in Africa than Ghana so if getting out of US is a priority this is not the only option. Also let’s not get into the issues that blacks face everywhere, even in Africa!

@Anthony Owusu what is going on in America doesn't justify these prices as Ghana isn't the only option to live. This is pure greed. How is that helping we blacks by making moving back unattainable. Remember we will no longer have the western income to pay western prices. I'm an RN here in Canada making 100 thousand plus a year and sometimes more if I do overtime. The MOST I can make in Ghana is maybe 3-400 dollars a month. Now tell me how I'm going to pay 1,000 a month in rent if I want to continue nursing??? Explain.

@Anthony Owusu Yes, I'll stay in US before I sell my nice home and come to a third world country and pay luxurious prices. The guest bath in one is really a closet. And where are the closets in the smaller bedrooms! I'll wait for the housing market to collapse in Ghana or go elsewhere! One location gravel driving into the property. Nah, Ghanaian that built these properties live abroad and plan yo retire later. New development companies have overpriced these prooerties and the sverage Ghanaian would NEVER be able to afford such properties. I saw a super nice property for $140,000 with a nice big pool!

@@a.konadu4010 I think you need to come prepared to buy or build.

@@a.konadu4010 lol this reminds me of an exam question. Pose problem... at the end... Explain!!!

They don't want the expense plus most rentals have been empty for a while. The market has been in a slump for 3 years

Jasmine owns a home there

tspcocktail yeah she got a nice one now, I saw her in her new house in Wode Maya’s post.

Just found a bedroom house in a new gated community for $260 US dollars! The prices presented here are a ripoff! Expensive and dirty!

Too dirty ewwww

@@DIAMONDGIRL57 hi do you mind sharing where you found the house?

While you can blame them for greed,be ready to blame yourself for being broke and not working hard enough to be able to look at these houses and not feel like someone wants to cheat it... Cheapskates

@@etinyeneuboh6881what is your problem? You are being very presumptuous by your insulting comment. You have no idea this persons circumstances, health nor experiences or even environment in which this person has to thrive. Until you know more about that, you are speaking without insight. These mistakes are common to men. I've had to learn from them as well. But by all means, let's do.

Yes my love ! I just left a comment about the same thing. 2 of the properties are in DESPERATE NEED OF REPAIR ! Inside and out ‼️ And the out dated worn out furniture 🪑 gives ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO INCREASE THE RENT!

@@etinyeneuboh6881 I agree. Folks have no idea the hard work that goes into buying or building a house. However, they are quick to criticize the rent charged by the home owners. To your point, perhaps it will be a good idea if they focus on also working hard and own property, so that they wouldn't have to rent.

Extortion. The UK accent just tells you of someone who's come to Ghana to take advantage of the property scene. This is what is being mentioned about diasporians going to Africa and taking advantage. $500 a month? In Africa? A developing country.

Tell them oooo

@@etinyeneuboh6881 He is also pitching his services.

What is expensive for you is cheap for some... Speak based on your pocket and knowledge. You've clearly never been to Accra. Real estate there is rightly expensive. Not many African countries can boast of the infrastructure Ghana has. I'm Nigerian and I stayed there 2 years ago just for 2 months,and I became a believer.

@@etinyeneuboh6881 Thank you!

@@etinyeneuboh6881there is validity to your point but the comment was made because if I'm not mistaken it was to appeal to those in the Diaspora which you are not from if you are from Nigeria. But since I am and am also aware of housing prices in the US as well as the need for a solid income upon arrival in Ghana, I based my opinion. No harshness meant to my sister whom I do love as well as her show which I watch and who's journey which I support.

That’s EXACTLY WHAT I SEE ‼️the grounds at some of the locations are horrible and there is Definitely no sign of care for the properties!! We call owners like these “SLUMLORDS” in NEW YORK 😡 fix up these places and bring them up to date!!! And some of those bathrooms 🤮🤢

@@alvintunstill5459 Firstly I'm from Nigeria,living in Dusseldorf Germany,so yes I'm also in the diaspora. She can also look for apartments within 200-300€ range for you,but be rest assured you'll be in the slums. Quality can never be cheap

You think Ghanaians live in huts.Well,98% of these homes are occupied by Ghanaians who live and work in Ghana. Expatriates live in very exclusive areas in the heart of Accra and not in Greater Accra and the homes for billionaires,millionaires, expatriates and rich foreigners living in Ghana have prices times 10 the prices of these that you call expensive.

@@utopiancitizen474 you are making things up. We are talking about the AVERAGE. Ghanaian. When was the last time you were there. Open your eyes😳😳😳

They pitching for foreign suckers

That's Ghana for you. Most of them don't value their own currency. It's called corruption!!! LMAO. Those prices are too high and can be used to buy at least 1 or 2 plots in Ghana based on the location.

@@MRSEXE-mi6cu the price too much high

No stove

@@nelliebrown3643 no appliances. Ridiculous greedy prices.

@@georgeappiah8314 Also security is BAD in Tema areas, especially armed robbery be aware. I heard there are many armed robbery activities in neighborhoods in TEMA. Guys be careful.

the price is too high for expat it moor affordable in uk then Ghana

I agree, they're reaching for the stars with those prices. They lost me at the duplex

Plus, Tema is a long way from Accra. Those rents are "dumb foreigner let me rob you" prices.

@@JerryC423 IKR

@@lebleugg LOL!

Amen. I've seen some for $280 per month with 1yr up front that were very nice

@@dwightthementor is the internet good for those areas

@@YellowSynth it's spotty. Osu and East Legon have good internet.

The 5th home is owned by Chinese? They getting paid from all around the world huh?

@@Wilonaful That may be why they are so expensive and dirty. That's what they think of us.

Brazil is .50 to the dollar and Mexico is cheaper. My family has lived and lives in both places. There’s always more options. They are going to fumble their own bag trying to be greedy. This is price gauging. The locals are not paying this. Jobs don’t pay enough for it be possible. It’s in our currency to dupe us.

@@84tahlia you see that shit..I have never seen no kinda shit like that Chinese writings across all the doors, them doors must have cost 2 America dollars 1500 hundred..👁️👀🧐

What you said!!!

Ghana is not the only country in Africa continent. You can chose another country in Africa instead of Ghana if you don't like it.

Say it again this is crazy . Some of these greedy land Lord's think that American's pick up money on the floor. You living in Ghana yet u want the currency in dollars crazy people

It’s obviously just a portion of Ghana. Didn’t mean to put anyone off. I do plan on sharing more affordable houses when i get the chance x

Yes, and it is one of the most dangerous part of Ghana, I would not reccomend anyone to live there, wow.

@@JasmineAmaa such high prices for beat up apartments like that is a turn off for those who wants to come home. You need to tell those people to stop being so greedy.

Yeah, this was very discouraging. If we are to start businesses, we'd spend all of our savings in just a few years on these rentals. They are way over priced. No disrespect to you, but its a no for me.

Koko G 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Yes we ALL AGREE! Not good properties ,poor maintenance and over priced with OUTDATED FURNISHINGS

African bathrooms always are horrible from what I’ve seen

@@cryptowalk1387 not all of them..but it is a different setup than america. The shower creep my out a bit because i can imaginel the mold from all that moisture. But honestly in most homes anywhere the bathroom and the kitchen are the 2 spaces that are typically remodeled so its not that.big of a deal...

I agree I thought Ghana rents were a lot cheaper. The Gambia is more than half the price

too expensive

Too too expensive l can even have a mortgage less than this and a nicer house 🏠

Jamaican nana Miss Lorna Some places in Ghana is really cheap! The black unicorn once had nice properties somewhere around $170 or $240.

Jamaican nana Miss Lorna Right!! I saw Mansions in Gambia for 4 to $500 a month!

You far from home, ghana generally is an expensive place to live. Rethink your decision if you hv plans ever coming to ghana it isn't cheap. And oo check your facts again, Ghana isn't a third class country.

Some locations in New York State especially the North. Most houses are less than $1000 monthly. Mortgages are range from $800 and up based on the cost of the house.

WHo is the hell told you Africa is a third world country? And why would you believe it and go around saying it.? Decolonize your mind

This is just a few houses in this video,NOT all houses in Accra are that expensive,it also depends on location,you can get good value for money houses outside Accra like CapeCoast,PramPram etc

@@christianjiancc first of all its GHANA which is a COUNTRY in AFRICA. I am FILL blooded Ghanaian. Ghana is STILL A third world country. Go back to school please. Third world standards...its the truth. Im a VERY VERY proud Ghanaian but the facts are the facts😳

Definitely x

We want in the range of $100-$300 a month. Nothing more. 😏

When they see African Americans they see dollar signs

Which city in Europe please? That you'll pay less than 900€ per month for a 3 bedroom? Except you're staying in dead countries like Poland and Romania... Please which city

Or go to Tanzania, Rwanda or Uganda. Less expensive than what these Tema prices are.

@@lebleugg Guess I'd better get to Tanzania before they raise their prices as well.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't impressed at all. In many cities in the United States you'll find properties like these in the poorest of neighbourhoods in the ghetto/the 'hood' and for far less per month too. These are shabby at best and who wants to live imprisoned in their own home with bars on the windows and barbed wire surrounding the property like a prison? Either this is outright greed and/or Ghanaians must think rather highly of themselves.

@@bhigdaddymark I agree with you on the prices and quality but for the bulglar proof windows, same as California, Texas, New York, New Jersey etc in the states. People generally feel safe that way.

@@bhigdaddymark That's a lie

johnny h. This becoming a real problem not just in other countries but southern states within the US as well. The locals are being priced out. It’s creed that’s driving up the prices. If we don’t find a solution most of us won’t be able to find affordable housing.

Amen i might as well stay here in the belly of the beast lolo

@@stephaniepope2786 Straight up....you only get and 💓 if you agree with those prices... Damn....These ppl knows retirees are coming in to buy and rent home...and they literally kill you before you settle in... Jamaica is the same and Trinidad@Tobago.....We African can't Unite why? This really hurts me.....Sad.

@@johnnyh.9327 Wow jamaica too. This is rediculouse

They just promoting to foreigners and overriding because they think foreigners got money when all people want to do is come home to motherland to rest their weary tired abused bones. The people who could afford those prices wouldn't live there. Unpainted shabby dingy rooms with just filthy bathrooms and needing repair. Jasmine don't lose your credibility over this.

I am sure the 1-year down payment could build you a moderate house elsewhere in Ghana. I am from Nigeria, though currently living outside the country. That $12,000 is like N4.5 - N5 million in Nigeria. For comparison sake, in Lagos (Nigeria) of all places that will get you something like these in the very pricey parts of Lagos: www.propertypro.ng/property/4-bedroom-semi-detached-duplex-house-for-rent-chevron-lekki-lagos-4CUER www.propertypro.ng/property/4-bedroom-detached-duplex-house-for-rent-osapa-london-lekki-lagos-6DLAD So, best approach is to rent a very modest/cheap place and use next 1 to 2 years to secure a land and build in Ghana. It's sad that people are going to cash in on the rising demands, just like its practiced in the West. But some of these prices are over-kills. A just paid $7,000 for a 1-acre land in outskirt of Lagos city. Lagos is not the faint hearted though. Just 1/6 of the same land would have cost me N20 million (over $50,000) where those example properties in the links are i shared are located.

@@ADE-of-LAGOS Hi those rentals properties are gorgeous hi I would like to purchase land where would you recommend.

I agreed with you!

Wow that is crazy those prices are ridiculous even the low income housing in America is more up-to-date than those

Louvers are the best for our weather. Building in European styles is actually irresponsible..

No AC either.

There are more affordable places they just don’t look like this. I will do another video in the future on that x

@@JasmineAmaa People have to remember location and appearance costs!

Jasmine what is the name of the beach which is close to the second house?

@@RootedInRoyalty Developers and leasing agents must remember we're in a recession. People are leaving NY, San Fran and LA because they can't afford the rents anymore. Ghana is taking advantage of the diaspora with these prices, little do they know, this plandemic is causing global economies to crash and burn. They must adjust their prices if they want sales in the future otherwise they will have a market crash in homes similar to the U.S. in 2007.

all of them are overpriced!!

@Loue afrigue we can't blame the government for everything pls

@Loue afrigue it's not a government's job to build homes, affordable or otherwise. This is not a communist country, but if it makes you happy, go on and waste your time blaming them

@@tvs9978 In retrospect we from the USA hasn't been treated as badly as you might think, for years as I raised my one child employed and sometimes not employed my rent would be between $100 and 300 It's not all bad when it comes to housing....I grew up on a beautiful block house with pools both whites and blacks decently lived together, and we swimmed in the white folks pool everyday in our hot summers...Yards manicured and beautiful and green, and I. strongly believe returning to AFRICA shouldn't be at my expense period...Both people done to my ancestors a disservice cost us harm, now I should return with my hard earned income....The government's there seems worst then here in the USA..I DO NOT TRUST thier business dealings, spending my money there and nothing is really mines is worst not better by my standards...The government can sell everybody's land from up under them to people from other countries like China and they'll be give you one day to move.

@@anderiyah3rdeyewatching355 I do not think that black Americans are being maltreated. It's AAs who are always complaining about America. Perhaps this is a chance for you to do some introspection to truly assess what you hate about the US and appreciate the benefits instead of focusing on the negatives. You all should be careful about building up a utopia in your minds about what it means to live in Africa. Just because you paid btwn $100-300 for rent wherever you've lived does not mean that you're going to pay less in Ghana because it's in Africa. That suggests what your opinion is of Africa and it's clearly not built on reality. Every country is different. I suggest you research the cost of properties in Lagos, Nigeria and Luanda, Angola. You will be sorely surprised. These are some of the most expensive cities in the world although they're in Africa. Of course I'm not saying the properties shown in this video are worth it. Frankly this does not reflect the quality of buildings out there so I am surprised but nevertheless you need to adjust your expectations. As a student in Toronto, the cheapest rent I ever paid was $450 CAN and that was for a teeny tiny bedroom in a shared apartment with 2 other roommates in my first year of university. In my senior years, a 1 bed apartment (15-18 years ago) was btwn CAN $800-1600 (US$750-1500 approx) so you've really had it easy in life if $100-300 is the range you're used to cos I paid my rent by myself as a student working part-time. Fact is that most of the rental properties in Accra are geared to temporary expat workers from Europe/the US or to migrants from Nigeria who are wealthy and can afford this rent. Eversince we started producing oil 10 years ago, the real estate market has become super expensive which is the trend in all oil producers on the continent because the market has been geared to expat workers who have been transferred to Ghana by an employer like Nestlé, or an oil company. In such cases, their rent is paid by the company or they receive a a salary/housing allowance that comfortably pays for such rent. Our market is not geared towards AAs who have suddenly decided to relocate to Ghana. The assumption that suddenly Ghanaians see a chance to dupe AAs is superiorist and self absorbed. The standard has always been to rent in USD to expat workers. Naturally properties for locals are not going to be marketed to foreigners because they are usually not built to a Western standard. A lot of the modern apartments/houses being built in Accra are also geared towards middle and upper middle class Ghanaians. They are mostly purchased by professionals and mature Ghanaians in the 40+ age range who have acquired savings over their lifetimes and can purchase multiple properties at such prices as investment properties. When they in turn rent these properties, they are aiming to rent to expat workers. If you don't fit that mold, that is not the landlords fault. He has his business model in mind and it's not geared towards AAs necessarily. Our president has unilaterally decided to suddenly market the country to AAs without thinking about whether our system is geared to handle you guys. For some of you it may, and for others it won't. In that case you need to adjust your expectations. Nobody owes you anything. We're all trying to build a better life for ourselves.

@@tvs9978 I guess that's why I pay $1137 for a one bedroom The oil, and beaches and sunshine...I've been in the same city my whole life, I've seen nicer places, In other parts of Africa...1137 is the most I ever paid in my life, My friend in ST Louis was telling me about a house there $29,000 Bout to retire therefore I'm looking for peace not a struggle.... Leaving the struggle if I leave, I can find super nice areas and places here in California $1000, But not in Los Angeles.....

don't even consider these, they aren't even worth a fifth of the price, you have lost the proportion - average rent was always 80$ to 110$ in decent locations ! Just don't rent

Lol

Girrl

Just don't go live in Accra and you'll be fine...Accra is over priced...example we just built 6 bedroom house in Konongo Ghana abt an 1hr south of Kumasi for $50,000

Lol you claim Ghanaians think you're rich and want to dupe you and another AA claims that we think you are poor and desperate so you'll take anything. Which is it cos it can't be both?

If you're too broke for this,go and look for your level

Gambia is calling Ghana is tripping

Well it’s not all great, it’s good to see the good and the bad as well so we don’t get surprised when get there. It’s good to have an idea whet to expect... 🙏🏾😊

I agree regarding the Chinese doors. Really fucked up.

That's how it should be ! They try to rip off

I know right xx
