What advice to expats in Cotacachi have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Cotacachi about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Cotacachi advise that housing is generally affordable and of good quality. They recommend renting before buying to get a feel for the area and to ensure it suits your lifestyle. It's also suggested to hire a local real estate agent who is familiar with the area and can help navigate the buying process. Expats also advise to be aware of the local customs and regulations regarding property ownership. They suggest that it's important to have a good understanding of the local language, Spanish, or to have a translator to help with negotiations and legal documents. They also recommend considering the location of the house in relation to amenities such as shops, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. Lastly, expats advise to be patient and take your time when looking for a house, as the process can be different than in other countries," commented one expat who made the move to Cotacachi, Ecuador.

"Once again, your questions are very general and I understand surveys but good, bad, quality, affordable, certainly boils down to one's experience, lifestyle, and money," remarked another expat in Cotacachi, Ecuador.
