Two months ago we asked you to take the Pedasi Property Personality Test. Nearly 200 of you responded. The results should be clear in your inboxes: property searches matched to your individual needs and what you’re looking for in Pedasi. A new beginning and peaceful life in a tropical climate, in a place with a low cost of living, right?
Here’s what you told us:
66% of you are looking to move to Panama to retire, while 22% are looking for an investment property. 15% of you are looking to buy a second home here and 6% of you are looking to move to Panama while working full time.
Your budgets are very similar: almost half of you are looking in the $200-$500K range, while another 38% fall in the $100-$200K range. That’s great because many homes in Pedasi are selling right in that target range, with some options still below that.
Just under half of you are looking for a house, and another 40% of you are looking for condos, with the remaining ~10% looking for land. Almost 50% of you with a budget under $100K is looking for land on which to design and build your own home — whether to live there permanently or as an investment property.
Pedasi’s a tight-knit community of expats and now you know thy neighbor. So, not only are you now getting better-matched properties for your search based on your individual responses, but it’s also nice to know your neighbors are in a similar boat, right? Even before you’ve headed off fishing together.
