Real estate medellin

Ivana Price to buy or prices to rent ? You can check the website for el Colombiano (the local newspaper). If you want to rent or buy the prices are all over the map so you need to be more specific. If you want the name of a real estate agent I can help you but what languages do you speak ?

In general terms a 4-5 bedroom home like you describe costs about CP$850.000.000 or rents for about CP$5.000.000 per month for a newer quality secure home in Poblado. For US dollars just divide by 2.400.

very timely question I was just about to post a similar question. I have never been to Medellin and think before we settle in Armenia, we have decided to check out Medellin. I know the weather will be much better for me. I have heard the cost of living is considerably higher so that is the biggest concern for me. Someone posted a Medellin real estate site a long time ago, but I haven't been able to find it. I have a friend from Medellin- if someone doen't post a site I will call her and ask.

We are interested in condos- no maintenance for us!

Prices to rent I wasn’t specific enough. This is what I mean, extra bedrooms in case we have visitors. Although I'm not sure is the case, people already told us "don’t move there if you care for your life!"...
I speak Spanish too.

Thanks.

A good web site Do you know of: Metrocuadrado.com---it is a good web site to research real estate and I beleive it is country wide. I have used it a lot in my real estate in Bogota. I have telked to different banks who hold real estate in Foreclosure(estan en daciones) and have seen some greta deals sold this way. You need cash in Hand for these great deals though-they go fast!!

On Sept 17, 2008: Senator John McCain said, as he had many times before, that he believed the fundamentals of the economy were "strong."Hours later he backpedaled, explaining that he had meant that American workers were Strong.

DECIMAL ERROR I believe he is off about one decimal place from my recollections when I was in Medellin. It is easier to happen than you might think.

Tinto A friend bought that home for 780.000.000 one year ago when the peso was 2907. What a difference a year and one month makes (2907 vs. 2370). The house is new and has 535 mt2, 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bath, service quarters for two maids and three car garage. No gringos live in that development including me. It is just rented to the wealthy Colombians. It's cheaper to rent homes and apartments in Colombia than own them. They currently receive 4.500.000 per month rent but it should rent for 5.000.000 to 5.500.000.

Good website for Real Estate in Medellin Check this site:

http://www.propiedades.com.co/

Put the cursor above the titles on the upper right side ( Venta Arriendo Oferta) and then you can choose what you want to see. It´s a good site but all in spanish.

Other neighborhoods different than El Poblado considered safe:

- Laureles (big old mansions still exist in this neighborhood)
- Conquistadores
- Estadio

Thanks for posting that link. Very interesting - does it have everything listed for sale in Medellin? Like an MLS here? I did not see many places for sale in Laureles, Miravalle or Belen.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Another Real Estate site for Medellin No, the link I posted is just of one Real Estate company that mostly promotes new projects and some re-sales, the list also rentals.
There are other sites that may help you in your search:

Thanks for the link to that site. It has a lot more properties. I am really just curious as to what my wife's apartment is currently worth. With the peso going up and prices going up, it's a very pleasant surprise.
