Supply and demand. In the US lumber is much cheaper than brick, so to get a brick home for the same square footage price in Jamaica is great! Plus brick is much more longevity.

Yet houses in New York last for hundreds of years. The problem with Jamaican houses or maybe it’s Jamaican home owners is that there is little to no maintenance of their property. Few people ever renovate their homes after 40 years or so; they just leave it there and it got run down.

We CANNOT simply wipe away our history by making new buildings. We should seek to restore them if possible. We need those thing as reminders to ourselves as well as the generation coming behind us. We must be careful in our doings. UAE is known for building building on sand. What did the Bible tell us about building a house on the sand? Jamaica is mostly water. Look at what they’ve done to Haiti? They removed all the trees and then came a massive earthquake that destroyed the island. We should pay close attention to these things. Plus, who will benefit from these so-called “new investments?” The people of Kamaica should be included in this massive growth. We should not allow these investors to make money then send it back to their countries. The infrastructure of the Island is paramount. Therefore, efforts and focus should be placed there.

There is a Kingston Masterplan and the interview site is part of it. It's broken down in sectors and this bit is the Kingston Harbour development. The Urban Development Corporation UDC is a good place to do some research as they are project managers. This Masterplan has been decades in the planning stages and is only recently coming to life. I think the Heroes Circle development is part of it? This I believe will be a real game changer for me downtown and midtown. The problem over the years has been lack of risk capital and political dedication. I also believe that Jamaica lacks skills and expertise in town planning and specifically regeneration. We should be encouraging those in the diaspora with the requisite knowledge to take consultancy roles with UDC.

I read an article recently that UAE is going to be investing in Portland and St Thomas. They will be building luxury hotel and properties. I realized every where in Kingston I went every one building. The prices is becoming out of reach for a segment of the population. I always said we running out while others running in.

@phyllisthompson4207 2 жыл бұрын
@@andrewblake6324 Firstly, people are going to flack to where there’s infrastructure, because if there are already , roads , water and eletricticy, people are going to buy land, whether as individuals or for development. I was not referring to just developers, but also individual land owners as well. Land ownership rarely loses it’s value.. That said, gated community keeps no one safe, because people still have to leave their homes to go about their daily life/ business!! Safely affects us in all walk of life since a person could get hurt or worse in a bank, a supermarket or even on the job….So i dissagree with that part of your reasoning. A little 2 yr old boy is left without both his parents , because of the July 4th shooting in the US. Im sure that those people killed or injured, lived in safe communities. Yet they were killed for no reason, but for being out enjoying Independence day parade… Crime is not so much about where you resides, it’s more about what are we all going to do about that monster, not individually , but collectivily as a whole nation.. Some of the perpetrators of crime could be in our very household, how does a gated community prevent that?

Fear of missing out is never a good investment strategy. I have actually seen it be a signal that things are topping out. Please please please do your own due diligence before you invest in anything…….triple that effort when doing a foreign real estate purchase-- whether that is to be owner occupied or long/short term rental. Fomo (fear of missing out) if used by a seller or sellers agent is actually a red flag…..do your full research and take your time…..people stated this same claim in 2004-2006 in the states and took a tremendous hit financially. That might not be the case but don’t think you have to get in because everyone else is. Do your research and execute the best investment plan thinking of if things go slow down or cycles change. How many months vacant can the property be without it being a extreme burden. How much profit am I making vs just covering the mortgage. Treat this like a business and don’t let someone selling the product/service be your only source of information with such a long term investment. 🙏🏿

Do your full research and make sure that the investment provides you proper returns and u leverage your capital properly…..you couldn’t invest the same way as Digicel (Irish owned) or even JPS (80% majority owned by Korean conglomerates) - it’s not to say don’t but never use short term market sentiment for a long term investment.

I don't think we should compare the price of apartments in NYC to Kingston, for the simple reason that there are many Americans making millions of dollars in salary in NYC. How many jobs in Jamaica paying their citizens/residents hundreds of thousands usd each year? We need to ensure that Jamaicans living on the island have an opportunity to invest and reap the benefits of all the growth going on .

It makes sense if you are from NY and saw the change over the past 20-30yrs with gentrification and the real estate boom. Of course it won't be the same, but for buyers and developers it helps you see the vision and what could be in terms of profits and locations to invest into now.

Most people paid cash and intend to use it as a retirement home so it doesn't matter because they are purchasing in communities with like minded people. It's the big everlasting homes that will be affected. People don't want mcmansions anymore. They rather have multiple homes with at least 3 bedrooms. When people come to visit their friends stay in Airbnb close by and they meet up for entertainment. People not having guest rooms anymore. Their children will inherit those smaller homes as opposed to large homes.

I enjoyed this video and thought that it provided useful information. However, I reached out to the realtor in this video both through email and Whatsapp but never received the courtesy of a response. Very disappointing and not very professional. I believe if you are not spending 30 million dollars these people won't help you. God forbid you want to purchase something you won't have any debt on. Nonetheless, shortly after that experience my determined spirit found me a great realtor to work with.
