11/28/19 Season 149, episode 9 - Two medical professionals want their children to experience the way they grew up in Africa, so they search for a home in Accra, Ghana.
I am Kenyan, and I find these prices ridiculously high, esp. since the houses are not even fully furnished... Maybe it's coz of the location. Most likely the location is dominated by expatriates, and so they pay premium. They pay for the location. Nairobi has the same dichotomy. Houses located in areas patronized by expatriates are ridiculously expensive. But after you stay in the city for a while and are able to shop around, you find even better offers at ridiculously affordable prices. It would also make more sense - after a while - to just buy a house or build instead of paying those ridiculous rents.
Bah, thats cheap, try australia or new zealand. The finishes look great, real timber floors and doors, the 2nd house for example was ginormous for the price.
Great episode, lovely family. I think that the more convenient location sealed the deal for the house they chose. I think every time Asheri appeared, she was wearing a different colourful and beautiful African cotton (?) print - which I loved.
I can understand pool can be great in place as Ghana when pool can be used a lot. However I think they make a wise choice as it's about location, location, and location. Long commute to work and need to drive kids to school can be absolute nightmare.
Kinda sad, no? When HGTV looks to partner with agents in different countries they usually gravitate towards 'like' people. I have seen a few with natives and locals as agents but you're right, they are the minority.
It’s actually sad cause they do have great local realtors but they often choose foreigners and they often market to western audience. The locals will do a great job and actually expose more of the culture.
That’s very true we actually visited Ghana for an entire week and scoped out areas for housing, schools for the kids before actually accepting the job and making the move. We wanted to make sure it was the right fit for our family.
Such a lovely couple 🥰 enjoy being back home. Stay blessed. PS: how beautiful is Asheri?? 😍 PPS: wud love to know if the house is still working for you guys as a family?
20 years is a short time to completely loose your understanding of your own home country. How to pick your priorities when looking for a house in Africa? pool should be the least of your concerns
We are not originally from Ghana and I believe it’s mentioned in the video that we are from Cameroon and always wanted to move back to Africa and the opportunity presented itself in Ghana. Every single person has their priorities when looking for a house, if pool is the least of your concern that doesn’t make it general for everyone. We enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and having a pool at home is great for the kids and the family.
Awesome vid but g how many ads do we have to watch ..1 minute into video and we have 6 ads right off the bat ....this is the kinda shit makes me not watch
@@en6278 yeah same way your people live under bridges too. Millions of us live in cities you ignorant prick, if you've never been to any part of Africa kindly STFU.
@@en6278 the fact is you're conviniently skipping millions of us who don't live in huts. Did I hurt your ego? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💃💃🏿 Probably stuck in his mum's basement thinking we're villagers he sees on tv. Pathetic.

This is the reason why I would have picked the 3rd house. Would have saved a lot of money and the husband would have gotten his pool in six months.
Asheri has absolutely beautiful outfits! Stunning!
@Neata V thank you. She actually designs her own outfits and has an amazing collection. Check out her line as www.ladybyash.com
@@nguememan I will, thank you for replying! She is very talented! Her outfits are beautiful, and I love the colours!

I love the 3rd house, cosy. I'm getting agrophobia with the bigger houses shown 😂😂

Why is that these HHI episodes RARELY show any realtors who are local nationals? Even in Accra, Ghana...!!!

That why they get ripped off. Those houses would not cost that much for a local.

My exact question
Way to go you two!! Such a joy watching you guys.👍🏾👍🏾
Gorgeous parents and children! What an exciting move!
Research is important, especially when moving to a different country, so that you aren't surprised with the pricing and cost of living.
That’s very true we actually visited Ghana for an entire week and scoped out areas for housing, schools for the kids before actually accepting the job and making the move. We wanted to make sure it was the right fit for our family.
So glad you came back home. 👏🏿👏🏿💯💯
The houses are crazy big
Such a lovely couple 🥰 enjoy being back home. Stay blessed.
PS: how beautiful is Asheri?? 😍

Good to see you Asheri
That master bedroom is huge
Яка красива пара! Вдалий вибір 🇺🇦
VERY GOOD EDIT, BUT, CAN YOU DROP THE ADS, PLEASE?...;)
Yeah it’s annoying when trying to watch something
Wonder if they are still there.
Do they have a Nigeria episode? I'm curious about the prices
They must have one. It’s Nigeria major contributor to the world and I don’t see how they won’t have.
Price point brings out the Banso in Asheri
south of equator????????
Wowww, a lindo!
I should visit Accra
I live in Africa but rental prices are freaking high
Absolutely the last house!!!

If that's small, then they should see European houses

Tonye breaks the stereotype that black people can't swim .
3,000 en África?
Yeah crazy right, who would have thought you would be asked to pay that price in Africa 🤦🏾♂️
I don’t like the advertisement
Did they bay a house at that price? Or did they rent it ?...🤔😳😳😳😳
Rent
3000 usd in Ghana??? wtf, thats like third country. stay in houston , pay less and get more
There's houses here in Africa that are more expensive than the house you live in 😂.

@@laurastan9904 It's pretty much in line with most houses of that style in West Africa.
