Philippines houses is way more sturdier than western ones. Filipinos learned how to build concrete houses from the American army not from the american real state industry. they are mostly poured concrete and rebars unlike american paper houses.

Greg, I think you are to be commended on the absolutely splendid job you both did in building your house. Greg I handle my budget just as tightly as you described. That self-discipline and commitment to getting everything right is a necessity for getting the value you seek from everything you spend money on. I particularly liked that you said you went over budget by $3k and you had to find the savings elsewhere. Kudos.

Thank you Greg and Wilma, you have done a geat job and you are inspiring me as i am finishing my house in the north of Algeria by the Mediterranean sea. I was so suprised to see the layout of your kitchen with an island and 3 chairs very similar to mine. Like you, we have installed a barn door as well in the house , but ours is between the kitchen and the dining/livingroom. The reason is to have flexibility to convert, as we wish, the open concept area into 2 private areas. We are working now on the landscaping of the backyard. What you have done in yours is very inspiring to us. We have painted it , like you, all white but with a red roof to give a spanish style. In terms of budgeting , we are so far around $ 70000 canadian dollars at 95% finished, including the lot (103m2) and the fance and a detached garage. Now, with my wife, we are thinking about furnishing it. This is going to be our snowbirding home when the temperature reaches -30c in the winter in Ottawa, Canada. Once again, a big BRAVO for your achievements.

The only thing I don’t want to retire in the Philippines is most of the people thought we are super rich, and so every now and then, people come to our place and ask money... it’s tiring. It’s not that we don’t want to help, but we cannot give everyone money, so they though we are bad people and we are scared of what those people can do to us. So sad. I missed the Philippines. Now we live here in USA, in a ranch-home settings by the lake which is so nice and quiet. ❤️

That same build will be at least 2.5X if you’re in Cebu City or Lahug area. The lot itself will be about 15k-18k per sqm in a subdivision. Considering the big lot area, it would cost about 4X in Cebu.

@sgtm7 9 ай бұрын

It would be about 3 times as much in other places in the Philippines as well. To get cheaper land to build on, you have to go out to the province. Now, if you are talking about an already existing house and lot, for the price they paid, you will generally get a much smaller house and lot, in places that are in a more built-up area. For my area, in a new subdivision, I am paying 7.5 million, for a 190 sqm two-story house, on a 217 sqm lot. And that is actually a good deal in my area, because 7.5 million, will generally get you a smaller house, on a smaller lot. Especially in a secured subdivision. I could have gone the route of going to the province, and getting more for my money. My wife already has 600 sqm of land in Leyte. So the only cost would have been building the house. I don't have to live in a big metro area, however, I need my conveniences nearby, like high speed internet, SM Mall, S&R, McDonald's, poker room, etc. So it depends on what you want.

If your foreigner and you went to the Philippines, just drink distilled water. I'm Filipino and base here in the US. Every time I go home, distilled water is a must! 😊

I am so happy for you two showing us your journey through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I could tell you would succeed because you have such a lovely wife and her touch in making your house, your "home". I have a question: when looking for your property, did you use a realtor or just drive around.

Used Facebook marketplace to find land. Used 3 different realtors for each island. Made sure all 3 knew, I was using 3. Creates nice competition.

@@buildingthephilippines Great tip!! The realtors jack up prices and take a cut otherwise.

I am from Philippines no longer living there since 40 yrs ago I live in australia.i suggest living in the Philippines cheap food houses remember when you get sick there you will spent million there that's the catch .I visited manila sept last year my blood pressure high I spent 7 hrs in hospital cost 27.k Pesos instead they give me right medication they want to admit me for what ?? The longer you stay in hospital the more Money they suck from you .I call my doctor friend she Priscribe me table to lower my blood pressure cost 350.pesos only .This experience I share to everyone

7 hours in the hospital in my home country would cost thousands. 27k is a bargain. Philippines is definitely not for everyone. Thanks for watching.

That's good, but they are getting their money some way. Probably thru high taxes.
