Despite the long-term permanent crisis, the price tags for real estate in Russia slowly take one peak after another, approaching the peaks occupied by New York, London and other first-class megacities.
But why fight for the cherished squares in the suburbs of Paris,on the Moscow periphery or in the Cypriot suburbs? Maybe you should pay attention to more budgetary solutions, and the difference in communal services simply once a year to fly to the cherished Cyprus?
The question, of course, is with a catch. The difference with the same Paris or Nicosia is not only in price. It's a matter of prestige, status and comfort. And also – in the case of Cyprus – the opportunity to obtain a residence permit or even permanent resident status without unnecessary movements. Everything is good here, except for the price. So let's talk about more budget options.
Thailand
This is a recognized paradise for downshifting, diverse and diverse freelancing and ordinary slackers, adventurers and travelers with a dump of the head.
In addition to the well-known advantages, there are remarkably low housing prices. For example, a two-piece here goes for $ 30,000, and for twice the amount you can get a small bungalow with a pool. In Moscow, for thirty, the maximum that you can buy is a bathroom from an apartment or a garage in Zelenograd. And in the southern country you will find a magnificent and luxurious climate, healthy and delicious food, smiles of the natives and the unhurried life of the colonist - except that without a cork helmet (you can buy for twenty on Ali).
Of the significant disadvantages of the legislation, it should be noted the impossibility of owning land for foreigners. Do you want a private house? Either acquire citizenship, or take the land in a long - up to 30 years - lease. Enterprising realtors have found a way out - condominiums. You buy 49% of the house and rent the second one. So you get almost sole ownership of a magnificent house for symbolic money (by the way, you can find a fake Thai citizen to buy - then, through small frauds with documents, the house will be completely yours, but without the ability to inherit half of the building).
Brazil
In Brazil, dreamed of living the owner of the keys to the apartment where the money lies, gorgeous canvas trousers and thousands of relatively honest ways to make money Ostap Bender.
The realization of the blue dream of a literary character today is relatively inexpensive: about $ 50,000. Let's consider a couple of options.
Brazil is a country with a booming economy, an energetic young population and an excellent climate. Of the minuses - crime. In the capital and its environs, life can be deadly, although there are oases of security and places where it is easy and pleasant to live.
For example, one of these places is Villa Vella, located north of Rio, surrounded by rainforest and green mountains, reliably hiding your well-being from the inhabitants of the favelas, where there is a long-term ruthless struggle between the state and poverty, sung by Amadou in "Generals of Sand Quarries".
If you want to avoid collisions with reality completely, we advise you to pay attention to the coastal tropical islands. One of them, Ilha del Itamarca, is separated from the continent by the Strait of Santa Cruz. A car post stretches over the strait. The area of the island is 65 squares, and the inhabitants are about 26 thousand, and the population is growing steadily: they are actively moving here for permanent residence. The lion's share of the island is mata Atlantica National Park, a natural rainy deciduous forest, and "life" is concentrated on a narrow one-and-a-half-kilometer strip of coast. An hour's bus ride away is Racifi International Airport.
On the east coast, too, there is something to see: snow-white sandy beaches with a length of 20 kilometers are waiting for brave travelers (trips through the virgin forest by car are prohibited, and the barrier reef protecting the shore prevents you from landing from the sea: the waters here are shallow, warm and completely safe (not counting shooting shells and jellyfish)).
The water temperature all year round is from 27 to 31 degrees. From May to July, the rainy season continues, usually accompanied by storms. The industry is banned, and building codes for 25 years do not allow the construction of high-rise buildings.
At the same time, an apartment of two rooms in the first line will cost 60-70 thousand, and in the depths of the island and even less - from 30 thousand.
Dominican Republic
Basically, the state is located on the island of Haiti in its eastern part. They sell coffee, grow tobacco and strange fruits, but the main attraction is the beautiful, divine Caribbean Sea - once teeming with corsairs and filibusters. The water is so transparent that it allows you to see all the sea reptiles from the shore to a depth of five meters. All this is complemented by ecological products, a climate that is friendly to human life (although in Barbados or Martinique a couple of hundred kilometers the situation is radically different) - is it any wonder about the popularity of the Dominican Republic?
Tens of thousands of investors invest money in the island, buying houses, apartments, piers, hunting lodges and bungalows. Some move here for permanent residence. Now the economy is a temporary lull caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but this situation is temporary, so the temporary drop in prices should be taken advantage of to enter the market "on minimals": now odnushka in the resort area will cost 40-50 thousand "green". Unlike Thailand, foreigners can buy any real estate here, including land on the coast.
Italy
While we talked about distant seas and fabulous countries, but with a successful conferency of circumstances, you can find options and closer. For example, you can turn your eyes to Italy. In prestigious places, the price tag is horse - in Sanremo or any other resort town, prices reach $ 6,000-7,000 per square, modest apartments will cost six-figure sums.
But this is not the only Italy: as in Russia, in one state there are dozens of countries - tourist Venice and Milan, peasant Romagna and Emilia, industrial and university Turin. If in the north of the country the market is oriented towards Europe as a whole in terms of the cost of supply, then the proximity of North Africa affects the south of Rome.
For example, the town of Skillace. The permanent population here is about 10,000 people. In the Middle Ages, the city and its surroundings belonged to the Pope, Alexander VI Borgia put his youngest illegitimate son here as ruler. Local dwellings are very compact: a small room, a kitchen corner, a dressing room, a shared bathroom and an unchanged balcony - little has changed since the XIV century. Coupled with old furniture (a wonderful help for masters of vintage and decoupage!), such a corner in a kilometer by the sea will cost a modest $ 25,000.
Another option is the former mountain resort of Abruzzo. Once came here to breathe the mountain air, but the priorities have changed, the locals have dispersed, or rather , fled. To the "civilization" - one and a half dozen kilometers.
Bulgaria
In the 80s, the People's Republic between Turkey, Romania and Yugoslavia was called the sixteenth Soviet, hinting at the proximity of Todor Zhivkov to the leadership of the USSR.
This is a modest option, moreover, by the sea. It should be noted that prices in the local housing market differ no less dramatically than those in Moscow and Turukhansk. Having measured your appetites, you can find yourself an acceptable accommodation for a modest price at a distance of half a playlist in places such as St. Vlas, Elenita, Nessebar and many others.
Of course, it will be a typical building without frills, but the price does not exceed 400 euros per square of living space. However, from the announcement you can safely subtract a couple of "squares" of the balcony and the dressing room - according to local rules, they are also considered for the internal area.
