Kemar act like a real yardie. I really like this couple. I pray that God will bless this relationship that it will go from strength to strength
Thank you!🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
You can tell Kemar is getting more comfy in front of the camera.Big up Mr Bonnick.
Yes
Jamaica is experiencing a housing boom so nah worry yourself, lots of options available especially on the north coast just depends where you want to be. Be careful if you choose to build, long stressful process that invokes parish council approvals etc. also material are high, lots of unfinished houses. Big ups
Exactly, it’s nice to build your own but we prefer new construction or already built. Land is also expensive😕
Don't build i started Christmas 2019 i spend over 60 million and the house still can't live in...if you can get a house too buy do it
@@larosemurphy6640 oh my! So sorry to hear that!🙏🏽
@@thebonnicks don't feel too bad the house is 8000 sq feet
@@larosemurphy6640 Wowwww!!!!!😍
Awww I'm so sorry you all did not get the house, don't worry something better is coming for you guys getting a house is not easy. Keep looking you all will find something okay I'm praying for you guys.
Everything happens the way it’s supposed to🙏🏽
@@thebonnicks Yes, of course
If the house is strictly for income purposes as you said in your video. The places you should be looking is closer to the tourist resorts for example Negril, Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, discovery Bay places where people visits frequently❤
Yea great point🙏🏽
Kermar you did good choosing a good mature and smart wife they always say behind a successful man there is a successful woman keep looking you guys will find the right house even better.
Thank you❤️❤️
Every disappointment is for the good.
Something better in-store for you guys watch God work
We receive that🙏🏽
The disappointment is they need too come red hills
I'm hereeeeeeeee guys.Please like up the videos,let's get the Bonnicks popping on CZcams.
🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
New subscriber to your channel. I love all your content so far. We closed on our house in January after a seven-month process. Purchasing a home in Jamaica can be a stressful process, but having a competent broker/ lawyer is the key.
Congratulations!! That’s so awesome!!
7 months? What were they doing?
@@sugadre123 I could write a book because of many issues. Thank God for the VMBS representative & my broker. Notice I left someone out from my previous post😬
U guys always put a smile on my face… I love how u can say some little things to each other & laugh about it👍 bless u
You guys will find a home you will absolutely love sorry you didn’t get the house you wanted but You will find something better.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
The marathon continues!
I Definitely Think You Guys Should Build Your Own House The Way You Want
It To Be In Beautiful Jamaica,.Just Saying.🇯🇲
That’s definitely the advantage of building our own.
@@thebonnicks Don't build!!!! It's more than a headache.
@@thebonnicks if your not on the ground or got someone you can really really trust not worth it.
Just buy the change it up how you want it building is not as cheap as you think just buying is less stress
That is a great price for a 4 bedroom, especially in this booming housing market in Jamaica, and there is already grown fruit tree in the backyard.
Yes!! 2 things we really loved about the house!
What's the price
@@larosemurphy6640 $25m Jm
Hi K & k every thing happens for a reason God is going to send you both a right home at the right time just keep faith in the master that was really a beautiful home i am so sorry it didn't work out love you both stay bless.💜💜💙💙🍾
Awwww that sucks, but like you said it may be better to build. I am in the same process right now, trying to buy but buying a house isn’t working out for me, so planning on building. In the process of looking for a lot right now. Good luck to you both.
Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!
@@thebonnicks thank you, good luck to you both as well..
Hey guys, you could look into Richmond Estate in St. Ann.
Yes Richmond Estates is nice..I know this for a fact, the house will find you..be optimistic. Blessings.
@@simonemorgan1070 it depends on there budget richmonds is not cheap.
@@micks8072 exactly
Oh wow gated community, nice security/safety matters safety first. Beautiful neighborhood. 😍
honestly guys the houses on the north coast were way more modern...but better luck next time every disappointment is for a good
Yes the houses on the north coast are newer and the amenities are fabulous! This house was 10+ years old. But everything happens the way it’s supposed to so we will keep looking🙏🏽 we really like the north coast.
I’m so happy 😃 for this couple GOD blessings on your lives
No lost here Mrs & Mr Bonnicks .the lay out was good but the kitchen needs much to be desired. Just my opinion. You gonna get a great deal just be patience.
Yes, true
Trust me, a completed house in a secure gated community is the best and one with good facilities like a pool, gym and children's playground is the best. You can easily rent it out to holidaymakers.
Building a house can often work out more expensive....I made that mistake.
The builders tend to build the house far bigger than you wanted and use up so much expensive materials in the process!
Never again!
Thank you for sharing!
Kenlar is so mature for his age hope he keep it going and make their marriage work because you both have made a covenant with God this is not a game.
I am happy with whatever make you happy.
I am building on north coast and thought you were going to be my close neighbor
Kelmar said it right " we are going to get something better baby"
Come be my neighbor and build in Saint Ann's .
Love to have you
❤️❤️
Land is expensive in St. Ann
St Ann is very expensive to live in. Especially on the coast line. Because of tourism.
Awe shoot, now we talking 💯
☺️
Try Southfield in St Elizabeth
Everything happens for a reason ...if not today but definitely tomorrow....the more you look, the more you will realise the amenities that you would like versus what is being offered...Good luck in your search
Yes that’s what we said, gives us time to think about and look for those things we may want.
Hey guys I’ve just subscribed to your channel, I love the move well done so far keep posting I’ll definitely keep watching bless up 🔝 🇬🇧
Bless up🙏🏽
First here! Hey guys!
Hey!!! Thank you❤️
A HOME is what you DO IN IT a HOUSE shelter you from the environment
I invite you too come too red hills in st Andrew...you will love it..just look up house in belvedere in Red Hills st Andrew
I’ve seen some properties in Red Hills while searching. Gorgeous❤️❤️❤️ I love the hills in St Andrew. We also looked at some townhomes in Beverly Hills about 2 yrs ago.
Big up Kemar, yu represent JA man dem very well. Love up yu Queen!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for providing the helpful and valuable information. God bless you both.
am so happy for you guys. congratulations to you both
Same process in USA. U must hv your pre-approval letter to b considered a serious contender, need to let the seller u that u r the sure thing. Blessings & Favor on ur endeavors and all u do. 🙏
Yup so true
Love you guys. 😍 Hope it works out for you guys. 🇯🇲
🙏🏽🙏🏽
am speechless ☮️💯
I DIDNT KNOW LOVELY PLACE EXIST IN SP TWN,,CONGRATS!!!!!💢💢💢💥💥💥
Yup!❤️
Yes that’s awesome. However be very cautious when buying property to build if you are not there while the construction is underway they will rip you off blind. I just finish construction on a rental property and did they rob me blind.
Yes we have heard this, very sad that’s how people do😕
Ok on a serious note be careful of those pre-approval for eg JMMB will preapprove you and when u pay u deposit, pay for survey etc when the document get to the real underwriters they tell u no.. NCB as well don’t have much risk tolerant. All the big name banks in Jamaica are really not for poor pple. I find VMBS the best and they work with pple. I spent 2021 doing homework and still got run around. Anyways leant my lesson and will forever request loans from VMBS.. when the main banks give u preapproval ask them if the under writers for these mortgages agree.. the front person will tell u crap and u can end up loosing $$ on survey lawyer etc .
Thanks for the info!
Beautiful couple. The guy is mature
U can buy land in gated community and Make you own house in Saint Ann
Yes tanya and Kumar, I like how you explaining it, my daughter and I bought one it was a process
Awww nice, blessings❤️❤️
You will find a house in Jamaica there is so many housing developments.
This place looks really beautiful this is a really good buy.
These are the reason i am glad my dad gave me land in Mandeville so i am building my home. My only problem was waiting on the title it took five years waiting on it
Yes so very true! Blessings💚
I agree Kemar something better is coming
Thanks for the video.
Sorry you guys didn't get the house. Just means GOD has something better for you. Did you guys use a Jamaican or US bank for your preapproval/prequalification?
Thank you. We used a bank in Jamaica. I’m uploading another video to explain the process a little more. We did an impromptu video and I realized afterwards there might be some questions.
That’s a very good question
Oh my God!!ⁿ Kemar and Tonya, you are my neighbors!!! Welcome to El Prado Verde!!!!!!
We didn’t get it😥
A 2 bedroom flat in London is around £800,000 so houses in JA seem cheap to me.
Depends on the area. In the nicer areas houses will be more expensive, like any other place. This house was very reasonable. Spanish Town is not a tourist area. But demand will drive up the price.
It needs to Modernize
Thank you for this informative video.
Kemar you think Tonya can manage Spanish Town when corn start pop .
Nah😳😩😩😱😭🤣🤣
@@thebonnicks that's why they have the highway you don't have to go through Spanish Town
Did you check out trelawny, and Hanover?. I am building in Duncan's hill, I brought the property. Best wishes
Oh wow!! Congratulations!!! When did you buy the land? How did you find it? Yes we are looking there as well🙏🏽
I have an acre of land selling in Hanover. I am hoping to be in Jamaica in the summer
@@thebonnicks 4 yes ago. My building coming on. But building is not for the weak heart. Do not regret doing it. You have a strong husband, so that's a plus. Some of The workmen can be dishonest.
@@beverlymyrie9455 yes that’s one reason I’m afraid to buy land and build😕
@@patriciabardowell6356 that’s divine, to be in Jamaica for the summer. I can’t wait to be able to spend months there☺️
Come to ocho rios and purchase your home
There you go best thing
U guys are a cute couple I'm so happy 4 u guys hope it all works out
Lovely place, I was sold at the fruit trees and the back yard..lol
Looks similar to Florida....
Awesome!
This video is helpful 😃 Thanks.
Omg! How do you learn to drive on the left side of the car? 😮
It’s def different😬
Congrats love the mango tree make sure you plant a Julie tree
Beautiful backyard. Nice n private
Wow that price was really good for a 4 bedroom house. Sorry you didn't get it.
Awh, sorry u didn't get house, but there is somthng better out there for u, like Keymar said. Keep hunting keep looking its ok. It's in God's plan & time not urs. Be Patient Don't rush, take ur time. Nothing happens before it's time. U all hv great ideas, great plans, a power couple. Keep it going. ❤️ as u said u r positive in what u do & hw u think 🤔 🙂
Yes thank you!
Good luck in your search
Thank you!!🙏🏽
much love to you both!!!
❤️
If you are going to build try and be there trust no one with your money
Yes we’ve heard this so many times!🙏🏽🙏🏽
Just subscribed I love Black ❤️
Welcome!!
Beautiful back yard
My happy place would be that back yard
Happy u didn't get it because u can go other areas with that 25 mill and get way bigger house with more space but if u love a specific area i understand the disappointment
Beautiful home.
That's not the last house Kemar With the big back yard. From the video last week
2 different houses were viewed last week.
@@thebonnicks The last house Kemar veiw, the day you went to Home good to get stuff for your Birthday, That a Lovely House. But like you said it might be cheaper to build that way you have so many other things you can do with the land
@@sharifahyarbrough2049 the one where I was on the phone viewing virtually? Yes, that is the same house😁 Yes so many benefits to building your own as well!
Call out to the Steve on u tube
Did you guys not like any of the houses on the North coast that you visited or are they too expensive. Some of those properties were nice just my opinion.
Thanks for your like, but there was a question in my comment.
We are looking as well so I just wanted to know if there was something wrong with those properties.
Thanks
We really like Happy Cove but they are sold out. We also like Gates of Edgehill in St Mary but not the drive up through the community. The model we liked was more expensive and when you add a few upgrades it’s over $300k.
@@thebonnicks
Thank you.
@@metv425 you’re welcome! What areas are you looking in? There is also a development called Galina Village in St Mary closer to Port Maria. We like St Mary but closer to Ochi. We were hoping to stay around $200K or less but it’s looking impossible or less likely around the Ochi area😕
@@thebonnicks
We are looking in the same area also. We loved Richmond Estates and waited too long contemplating the cost and now they are sold out.
The Delpratt family shared a nice location in Ohio you could check out their channel.
Hello hello from Cali 🤗🐕🦺🦮🐕🦺🦮🐩
So you don't get an appraisal before you bid on the house. That's backwards. So who sets the house prices. How they set a price and then come back with a different price. So why even set a price and then give a different amount. 🤔
The listing broker will recommend a price to sell based on comparables in that area. But this community rarely has any turnover. So the gist of it is if the valuation is less than the purchase price the buyer has to pay the difference. The bank is only going to finance 90% of the valuation. It’s a sellers market so the purchase price could go up considerably, which is why we didn’t want to overbid.
Sometime it hard for some people to save the down payment
Yup it is, it’s a lot of money
True
I pray that y'all get the house
We didn’t🥲but are still looking
Most houses r sold even b4 the houses start 2 build
You both looked at the Piramid Point can you tell me if it’s bigger in person or is it small. And can you see yourself living in it .
No it’s not any bigger in person. It didn’t really have an open floor plan and were “box” looking. Some homes had a “view” of the sea but not enough to be worth upwards of $300k. We cannot see ourselves living there.
@@thebonnicks thx for your input I appreciate it
Definitely Richmon Estate is great.
When I bought mine it was six million!!!
6??😳🥴😩😩😁😁😁😁😁
You dont need no pool eena you community when Jamaica have so many rivers
are you planning to move to jamica soon or are you looking for investment property
We plan to divide our time between JA and the US
Kemar tek the direction then ask where to go LOOOOOOL
😂😂
Do you know the prices of condos over there or have you only viewed homes?
The condos seem more expensive than the homes. We didn’t tour any but researching online they were close to $400k and up.
@@thebonnicks oh wow that is a lot more! I’ll continue looking into real estate over there but here in the US the pricing has started stabilizing so we’ll see what happens next year. Rates are higher now as well!
@@ulovemichelle yes hopefully they will start to stabilize here and there. Jamaica is just like the US. Investors buying up a lot of the properties driving the prices up.
Who would buy a house 🏡 in Spanish town
Who are the realtors to go through?
We didn’t go through a realtor. CBJamaica listed the house.
The home is beautiful I love all the fruit trees
Yes!!❤️
Where is this located?
Spanish Town
I don't think it's wise to tell people where you live in this day and time.
I'm a single woman and she is my only child, so I bought with her, when she get married in future we will rent apart of it
That is a nice plan!
Praying you get something quickly
Blessings, thank you🙏🏽
buy land and build to your own specifications
Is this a new build?
No, the community has been there for 10+ years
@@thebonnicks ok thanx..
