Published on

May 5, 2025

Have you ever wondered, ‘Is Panama a cheap place to live?’

This will depend on the type of lifestyle you’re used to and how you want to live when there. It might be better to ask yourself, ‘What can one million dollars get me in Panama?’

Like anywhere, property prices in Panama depend on a number of factors including views, area, quality of finishes, etc. 

What is the Average Price of a House in Panama?

To get you started, the average house price in Panama is about US$1,333/sqm, while an apartment is US$2,055/sqm. Knowing the average cost of a home in Panama can help you start thinking about whether this is ‘cheap’ enough for you as well as about real estate financing options in the country.

Before you start your search for a house in Panama, be sure to read our guide for what to watch out for when buying real estate.

But going back to the original idea, here’s what you can expect to be able to purchase in Panama for right around $1,000,000 USD.
