Im affraid that people in Ecuador is over building like people were doing in Spain. We been looking for real estate (in Cuenca) and we cant find anything used. So many brand new homes, apts, or some land is way over priced (around $800-$900) in areas where there is not nice roads or services. Or brand new houses with just little wiring (like 4 breakers for 2 story home) Puerto Lopez has new building everywhere, Puerto Cayo, Ayampe. Montanita.
We got our ecuadorian helper for this real estate shopping.
Will love to hear from fellow expats.
Thank you everyone!
