The Ecuador housing market is a sort of controlled chaos. It do not follow normal western rules.
There is no real upmarket sections and middle class sections.it seem what is most is what goes. It seems that it is par for the course to find a shack in between 3 story houses. And it is normal to find that your neighbor got a goat a pig and a few chickens in the back yard.

I absolutely love this. It is heaven.

Wanna buy a property? Think you gonna find it on a web site, or even at an agent? Think again. From talking to locals it seems less than 20% of local property is advertised. Here if you want a good deal it is walking the streets, asking around and that way you will find what you looking for.

If you wanna rent a good place to start is http://300dollarcuencarentals.blogspot.com/ you will find good places to rent in Cuenca.
Again it seems there is no centralized place for Ecuador.

So I am off to deal with more paperwork. It never stop it seems. The time here in Namibia is getting less. I will miss this beatifull country in deed.
