Amazing Content Guys, and THOSE HOMES, WOW. I'm Very Impressed.
I missed garages and hobby rooms. The first one had a "bar motorbike garage", but all others had no "man's repair shop". And I want a usable garden for me. Prices were fantastic - please make more vids.
What’s the home/ land ownership process like?
OUR SON just checked out rental apartments here in Central Florida, and was STUNNED. A 2 bedroom, one bathroom place goes for $1500-$2000/month - with "first, last, & securtity" before you move in, that's a minimum of $4,500 to set yourself up ! UNBELIEVABLE ! No wonder so many retirees are MOVING ABROAD - America has become TOO EXPENSIVE for Americans !
Apartments here in Indiana are the same ridiculously high price. It's just greed on the part of the landlords and they know they can get buy with charging that much. Equador looks very good to me, as a single 74 year old woman.
You two produce better content than HGTV =) All the homes are beautiful. Maybe you should get a real estate commission on sales as a result of your home tours.
Thank you so much!
Julio Alvear: I have to Agree with You.
You guys loosing money with that real estate tour plus bi-lingual
I totally agree. This clip was better than anything you see on HGTV. Well done guys!! 👏👏👏
yeah, great editing and narration.!
😊 If I could, I would chose them all but the blue house and secret garden is the winner here - like living in a fairytale 🥰
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Good choice!
Yeah! That blue house is incredible! 😊
Wow! Loved all of the homes, but would probably choose the last one. The craftsmanship is amazing!
Definitely Casa Azul. I love the mature gardens the tile, the views from the 3rd floor.
The 3rd and 4th places are beautiful but HOA's are a game changer for me. In my experience, they're (HOA's) a pain.
Being from SW Colorado, I've always owned at least an acre ... I dislike the scrutiny, the meetings, the rules that regulate everything from your lightbulbs to landscaping. I'd rather do my own gardening and hire a handyman on occasion anyway. Thanks!!! Was fun.
Hi, I completely understand how you feel about HOA community's. I'm sure that an overseas HOA is completely different from what it is here in the States. In this case, being in Ecuador, I am sure that the gated HOA also provides 24 hour security, which is a huge benefit..
I liked the last 2 house. No bars on the windows, beautiful skylights and vaulted ceilings.
As far as aesthetics, definitely the last home. As far as what I would choose, Casa Azul. I'm an outdoor garden guy that would modify backyard with additional veggies and fruit trees.
Good choice!
The blue house is amazing! I love the garden and the roof would be a great spot to chill. Oh and a pool! I love all the wood and tile in these houses too.
Cotacachi was fabulous. We stayed in the Kalera part of town and really loved being in the Indigenous area. People there were fantastic. Made some good friends. Look forward to going back for an extended stay.
char..were there a lot if English speakers there?
Didn’t try to call, the setup was to send a message. I did that twice but never got a response and by then we were set to fly out.
Simply beautiful, but it's way too much of a home for me. I would love to see 1-2 bedroom apartment rentals for single people.
Or 1-2 bedroom places to buy...
Beautiful homes and great tours by you both! Casa Azul was my favorite! I would love to spend my time having coffee on the balcony or reading a book in the garden.
I’m so happy that Amelia likes the laundry rooms. I’m really big on laundry rooms whenever we rent properties, so I’m happy to see someone else who has this clothes washing fetish! :-) We are enjoying your channel in Kyoto, Japan, as American expats ourselves. Thanks!!
Just an FYI - the "high" today in Denver was 15°F... in case you needed a reminder of what it was like to live here. ;)
brrrr, thanks to the inversion we are a balmy 25 up here at 8'500ft in Conifer!
@@michelegangaware5250 Today, we managed to get to about 20 here in Canon City. As I was driving back from Colorado Springs last night at 5 degrees, I kept thinking of Ecuador!
@@FroHawkDesigns We lived in Costa Rica for 6 years & came back home to CO about 11 years ago, we are ready to move south again soon and Ecuador is calling. It was 1 this morning, but warmed up!🙂
Really enjoying these homes for sale tours. Great job!
All of these were pretty good and all in a decent price range. Thank you
Thank you. I love your energy and excitement. Your content is awesome, and you compliment one another beautifully. I am struggling frequently with work stress, feeling pretty stuck at times. It’s nice to temporarily escape’ through dreaming of other possibilities. I enjoyed Ecuador and would consider returning for sure.
I just love you guys. My husband laughs and says “There goes another video from your friend” every time I watch your videos. Aside from that, now I’m in love with Cotacachi ❤️ It looks amazing! It’s everything I want in life, except for constant cloud and rain 😔 And I loved the house with the secret garden! I’ll be sitting there all day long if I could. I’m not even in Ecuador, but it feels like home, my soul place ❤️
I see the temperature is in the low 40's to mi 60's for Feb 23, 2023 which explains why the fireplaces in several homes. What type of heating system is used , forced air electric or another type ? Beautiful homes and if you like the weather then a beautiful place to live in. Thanks.
I love that you guys are thriving and living your best life’s!❤ great video
Cotacachi is the place for me, I love the area! I liked #2 & #4 for different reasons; the azule home with the that fantastic garden, the rooftop with 360 degree view and that master balcony, is great, the downfall is the stairs, not great with stairs unless an elevator (lol) last house was great as well, loved the round living room, the woodwork and that dining room and the kitchen was great.and JP was correct the landscaping looked like an artist did it...and no stairs....very nice bathrooms....I would pick #4 only because it was single level.
@@judithsmith9582 if you’re in your 20s 30s or 40s, no problem, but when you reach a certain age you don’t want to be climbing stairs…(and slipping, tripping or breaking something) as much as I love those views, I’d be perfectly happy with a garden to have my morning coffee ☕️🌳🌞
I love the homes there and prices are wonder. How far are hospitals? Is there a large English speaking expat community? What about earthquakes?
Loved the video. I was thinking can you make a video on a one bedroom condo or a one bed home if any. One day I hope to visit in retirement and is on my list of potential permanent living
I loved this! Please keep doing home tours. 💙💙💙
Thank you! Will do!
I agree. I LOVE LOVE Amelia and JP content!
I loved the last 2 homes. Don't want a lot if stairs in the future. May go next year for a couple weeks and rent a flat there.
I saw that last place on mls-ecuador already. So nice, along with the others, and what value! I could see myself making my home base in Cotacachi in one of these places, and also renting a place in Quito, shuttling back and forth whenever I required big city amenities.
It makes me happy to see you both happy in my country Ecuador. I'm learning about my own country thanks to you.
If one could take the best parts/features of each of these homes and combine them into one, it would be maravillosa!
I cant wait to visit Cotocachi in June. these are beautiful homes and look to be really great deals.
Wow, all great houses! I like the blue house, so unique!
I liked all the homes but the last one is my favorite. I love the view from the master bedroom, and that whole house was just gorgeous!
The Cotacachi homes are still my favorite! The green views, vibe, and amount of living space are amazing 😍. The only thing keeping me from putting Cotacachi at the top of the list is wanting to be closer to a larger city at least at the start of our expat journey. But I would LOVE to stay in one of these homes as a retreat. Thank you for all you do to put these videos together- I'm so glad you decided to keep doing them!
Honestly the help you’ll hire will be so affordable you probably won’t be doing your own laundry nor your own cooking. Just beautiful homes especially the last two.
Great houses with each having some very stunning details. What about termites? With all that beautiful wood interior work, are they a problem?
Wow, really enjoyed the home in El Encanto, with vaulted ceilings. $155k is about 1/10 the asking price for this home, had it been built in the US. Incredible.
Alll nice homes and affordable. THANKS. Do more homes for sale vids.
I love the Diorama house....a lot. I am concerned about the altitude. Got altitude sickness in Ajijic and had to call a doctor who put me on meds. It was really scarey. But......I could almost buy that Diorama site unseen.
I love how they are close to the Centro. All three were great and reasonably priced. However, I think that I would go 3, 2, then 1.
I think I like the blue house that goes way back. A house like that will keep your life interesting. I'd be happy to live there.
I agree. I liked Casa Azul the best. No HOA!
Besides, there was a cat.
I like any house a cat likes.
I live in Vegas, and there are chickens and roosters all around. The roosters don't crow at night, so they are not really a bother.
The only thing missing in Azul is a fireplace in the living room.
That back garden seemed to go on forever.
Will this town be the next Pompei? 🤔
You're in Vegas and there are chickens and roosters all around? It is blazing hot there around half the year and they survive?
@@donh5794 yep! Dogs to. I've been a cat person for a long time because you don't have to walk them and especially since they don't bark. 😆
@@wernerdanler2742 Ok, dogs I know. I just never saw chickens and roosters from decades of visiting and occasionally working there. I know the area very well.
Casa Azul for me, love the gardens and the views. Not bad price compared to the coast region
Love all of them but the blue house was just magical!
Wow, Fantastic homes. I LOVE Cotacachi.
I love you guys! You are always so positive! I agree with you, I love the last one!
That last one (Diorama) was perfect for a couple!! And HOA not as high. I loved it. We have entertained ideas about Mexico and Portugal, but those homes for 159k are awesome.
Wow all of these were fantastic. It would be very hard to make a choice. And they are all in my price range so that makes it even more difficult.
Diorama house, nice floor plan. I would like to come see Ecuador, Thanks
I totally get that you guys walk or are driven everywhere, but many of us want to know what the parking situation is for each house. I would need to park a 4x4 and a motorcycle, and I would want something at least out of the rain.
Those are all interesting and affordable choices, and as cool as the $200k to $300k homes are, most of us are not going to be able to foot that bill. I really liked Cotacachi. I found it to be clean, plenty of cool restaurants and I found a great masseuse!
House 3 @ 155k 😮 my heart broke…I purchased my first home in New Orleans for 195k and it wasn’t as big, needed 100k of love and the taxes and insurance are so high 😢 I’d learn Spanish to live in House 3…my mind is changing. Thank y’all for showing me how Ecuador is living ✌🏾
Amelia and JP. Do you know bout the family from Boise who are staying in Cotacachi for about 6 months? There new CZcams channel is Family Latitude Adjustment. You should feature them to help kick start their channel :)
Love the houses. Wish I was there now
You guys are making me love this place!!! 😄😄😄
Oh My God...I almost choked at the beauty of the last home in El Encanto!!! Not to mention the views and the landscape!!!! just so peaceful ! 😍
It was beautiful!
@@AmeliaAndJP i have been watching your videos back to back. You guys have really stirred up my soul. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful houses
My favorite is the 3rd, but the secret garden house was great, too. All the homes were really nice! 🙂
I'm in Love with the Blue House, incredible views of the volcanos, but that secret garden is what blows my mind. Amelia/JP can you please put me in contact with the agent for this property or for something similar, same area. I love your videos.
The Blue House is my #1 Choice. It’s also by far the highest maintenance. Was the structure at the end of the garden a storage shed? How much would it be for a half or full time gardener? Any parking? Cars. Import ours or,buy there? Love all your videos for sharing experience and realistic e situations and concerns.
I liked the “tree house” Winder how much the upkeep would be though, since there’s no HOA fees?
I LOVE THE SECOND HOUSE! OMG !!!! 😱
Love the houses there….
JP do you have trouble breathing in Contachi?
I have a lung condition, I do well at 5000 feet, but I couldn’t breathe in Quito when I went there for a conference once.
Thanks for your response, you both do such a great job at all this, what a blessing you are.
Cheers, Michael
Very nice presentation. Loved the last home too. Thank you guys.
Just, wow! Gorgeous homes!
WOW so beautiful! I Like the the last house best, few stairs! You say you walk everwhere. You may have filed it and I havent found it, but filming an average day, shopping for food, eating out, filling in the day, would be interesting. I am running at such a pace now that if I went there I wonder how disconnected or bored I might feel.
WOW, the Blue House is AMAZING!!! I'm completely in love with it.
I really like Case Azul, A little bit of work and it is a dream home, for sure! Pretty tiny town, though!
Beautiful houses . A dream
I enjoy getting a peak inside these beautiful homes with you two. You're fun positive people. I'm building a simple home of adobe and wood in Oaxaca's Sierra Juarez Mtns. Been wanting to comment on how much I appreciate your channel, always makes me smile.
when I saw the pool i thought of a place for JP to exercise....what an incredible home!!! that producing backyard was amazing
The asking prices are insane for that quality inside a gated community!! My fiancé lives there. I live in Boston but man I may reconsider relocating lol. That last house was a beast, imagine what you can get for 200k!! Omg!
Thanks for the tours. I was a carpenter, so I appreciated the last house.
But the garden at the second house....;I'd love that.
You can't go wrong with realtor Amy Prisco!
I liked the first house and the second to last house.
WoW those houses were beautiful! My favourite was the third one.
Unfortunately I liked the last home, but those chickens and roosters would have me walking back to that third home which was still a really nice place. These homes are larger than my current home and little less than 1/2 the price!
Loved the last two houses! The landscaping is beautiful!!
All of those homes were amazing for the price!
Amazing properties - thanks for making these videos! Interesting to me that JP is from Kansas (my mother's family is from Western Kansas, Garden City area) and that you all lived in Denver (I lived most of my life there) before moving to Ecuador. Will be checking out your website. Thanks again for the great content!
Love these houses
agree on the last house, all were beautiful!
I really liked the home with a pool. So unique. May have to adjust to the roosters 🤔😂
Thank you so much for sharing. These Amazing homes in Ecuador
You guys do a fantastic job , I now have a clear idea of what to expect
When I retire Ecuador is very tempting ...... have a wonderful day
Beautiful homes. To close to the volcano's!
These are amazing! If you want to live on a bit more land, 2+ acres, what would that look like? Where would you recommend? Would love to see a video showcasing farm-ish homes and or just more country living.
I might have already said this in another answer but I have used Babbel for Italian and French revision. I am a retired EFL teacher and also a learner of Spanish and Portuguese, which I learned by living in countries where those languages are spoken. Most American monolinguals go to Duolingo because it is free. I have tried it and I found it very deficient as far as learning to speak a foreign language. Although it has improved over the years, it is basically a translation course, and a poor one at that. Most people study a language because they want to speak it and Duolingo has zero speaking practice. Babbel has real dialogs spoken by native speakers and not computer voices as does Duolingo. Also, with Babbel, you will be learning useful sentences and vocabulary and not non-sensical gibberish such as you often find on Duolingo. Babbel is not free but a one-month subscription costs $13.95, and a three-month subscription costs $29.85 ($9.95 per month). I don't get a cent for recommending Babbel but do so from my own learning and teaching experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Great video. I also loved the last house. Do you know when was the last time the volcano erupted?
Beautiful!!
Love all of these!! The Tardis house!! Wanna move ... Canada is so cold right now January 11 2024! Happy New year @amelia and jp
Great job!!
Thank you both for the great tours! I love the El Encanto properties, just that HOA is scaring me off a bit, wonder what else is included, or just landscaping? Wife and I are really looking into Ecuador properties lately and appreciate your videos.
The last house is gorgeous ❤so in love ❤️ I love the master bedroom view like he said it looks like a beautiful fresco paint❤
I liked the last two houses in this video but they are a bit too small for a family of 4 with older children. It would be nice to see what the 3 or 4 bedroom houses in similar neighborhoods look like and what they are selling for. We had originally wanted to move to Eastern Europe but time difference with the USA is just too huge and I also would not like to stay up late for work. Ecuador seems like a nice country to move to. Thank you for showing us the properties, Amelia and JP! Blessings!
I really enjoyed your content. Cotacachi is definitely a great choice for anyone seriously considering relocating. My personal choice of home is the last one (Diorama) with the artistic wooden features and no stairs. However, I'm a little confused as to why the big discrepancy in HOA dues. The first house was $25 compared to $265 for the last one. Thanks for the awesome views... 🙏
Love the last home
My favorite Ones were the First House, and the Fourth House.
It's so beautiful there. I love the Tardis house!
Stunning !
Yes, I liked Casa Azul also most, the secret garden is so cute......and I love to live in an art tree house. Actually, I am builing my house in Vilcabamba. Lets meet if you are here next time, becaus I will also have 2 A-frame Guesthouses for you. See you guys, greetings Steffi
Wow all those were beautiful and the prices were amazing, it did look a little cold while you were there, I think I would prefer Manta for the hotter temperature but I am definitely going to consider Cotacachi
That second home is amazing!!
This place is immaculate
Este lugar es Inmaculado
