What is the average cost of housing in Brazil?
If you are thinking about moving to Brazil, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...
"In the USA buying property of any type on or very near the ocean is way out of our price range. We bought this one to include a complete furnishing package and its built against a State park where future construction is limited due to the park. So the villa was much cheaper than in the States for a house of the same size. Because we bought our in 2007 I keep looking on the net for houses in the area and for pricing. $150k to 200k (USD) for a similar villa is the average cost as of this week. Electricity costs are high as they are everywhere in Brazil due to the lack of infrastructure," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Praia da Pipa, Brazil.
"Housing costs are expensive, I don't know much about it though, but cheaper than London," commented one expat who made the move to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
