Amazing Content Guys, and THOSE HOMES, WOW. I'm Very Impressed.

[@longgowhereto]

I missed garages and hobby rooms. The first one had a "bar motorbike garage", but all others had no "man's repair shop". And I want a usable garden for me. Prices were fantastic - please make more vids.

[@knoledge6171]

What’s the home/ land ownership process like?

[@marytica123]

OUR SON just checked out rental apartments here in Central Florida, and was STUNNED. A 2 bedroom, one bathroom place goes for $1500-$2000/month - with "first, last, & securtity" before you move in, that's a minimum of $4,500 to set yourself up ! UNBELIEVABLE ! No wonder so many retirees are MOVING ABROAD - America has become TOO EXPENSIVE for Americans !

[@WendyP-jc3th]

Apartments here in Indiana are the same ridiculously high price. It's just greed on the part of the landlords and they know they can get buy with charging that much. Equador looks very good to me, as a single 74 year old woman.

[@Jetmab04]

😊 If I could, I would chose them all but the blue house and secret garden is the winner here - like living in a fairytale 🥰 Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@AmeliaAndJP]

Good choice!

[@jodibraun6383]

Yeah! That blue house is incredible! 😊

[@lupsarttime3615]

The blue house is amazing! I love the garden and the roof would be a great spot to chill. Oh and a pool! I love all the wood and tile in these houses too.

[@LMLewis]

Wow! Loved all of the homes, but would probably choose the last one. The craftsmanship is amazing!

[@jimjensen9139]

All of these were pretty good and all in a decent price range. Thank you

[@charhall7702]

Cotacachi was fabulous. We stayed in the Kalera part of town and really loved being in the Indigenous area. People there were fantastic. Made some good friends. Look forward to going back for an extended stay.

[@higuysrealtalkwithtracy4543]

char..were there a lot if English speakers there?

[@charhall7702]

Didn’t try to call, the setup was to send a message. I did that twice but never got a response and by then we were set to fly out.

[@cadizwilmo9687]

Really enjoying these homes for sale tours. Great job!

[@Curious859]

I just love you guys. My husband laughs and says “There goes another video from your friend” every time I watch your videos. Aside from that, now I’m in love with Cotacachi ❤️ It looks amazing! It’s everything I want in life, except for constant cloud and rain 😔 And I loved the house with the secret garden! I’ll be sitting there all day long if I could. I’m not even in Ecuador, but it feels like home, my soul place ❤️

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

I liked the last 2 house. No bars on the windows, beautiful skylights and vaulted ceilings.

[@MV-kr2se]

It makes me happy to see you both happy in my country Ecuador. I'm learning about my own country thanks to you.

[@reefglider]

Thank you. I love your energy and excitement. Your content is awesome, and you compliment one another beautifully. I am struggling frequently with work stress, feeling pretty stuck at times. It’s nice to temporarily escape’ through dreaming of other possibilities. I enjoyed Ecuador and would consider returning for sure.

[@elizabethsmith4674]

Beautiful homes and great tours by you both! Casa Azul was my favorite! I would love to spend my time having coffee on the balcony or reading a book in the garden.

[@suen5006]

Wow, all great houses! I like the blue house, so unique!

[@jackbaldwin3649]

I loved this! Please keep doing home tours. 💙💙💙

[@AmeliaAndJP]

Thank you! Will do!

[@dlwilliamson5644]

I agree. I LOVE LOVE Amelia and JP content!

[@kelisee4274]

Definitely Casa Azul. I love the mature gardens the tile, the views from the 3rd floor. The 3rd and 4th places are beautiful but HOA's are a game changer for me. In my experience, they're (HOA's) a pain. Being from SW Colorado, I've always owned at least an acre ... I dislike the scrutiny, the meetings, the rules that regulate everything from your lightbulbs to landscaping. I'd rather do my own gardening and hire a handyman on occasion anyway. Thanks!!! Was fun.

[@angelasmith6526]

Hi, I completely understand how you feel about HOA community's. I'm sure that an overseas HOA is completely different from what it is here in the States. In this case, being in Ecuador, I am sure that the gated HOA also provides 24 hour security, which is a huge benefit..

[@julioalvear1641]

You two produce better content than HGTV =) All the homes are beautiful. Maybe you should get a real estate commission on sales as a result of your home tours.

[@AmeliaAndJP]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferlorence185]

Julio Alvear: I have to Agree with You.

[@josechica1283]

You guys loosing money with that real estate tour plus bi-lingual

[@johnbruenn8755]

I totally agree. This clip was better than anything you see on HGTV. Well done guys!! 👏👏👏

[@sukosuko1]

yeah, great editing and narration.!

[@lauriehewett7750]

I love you guys! You are always so positive! I agree with you, I love the last one!

[@ramjet5192]

Thanks for the tours. I was a carpenter, so I appreciated the last house. But the garden at the second house....;I'd love that.

[@jmp.t28b99]

Alll nice homes and affordable. THANKS. Do more homes for sale vids.

[@WendyP-jc3th]

I liked all the homes but the last one is my favorite. I love the view from the master bedroom, and that whole house was just gorgeous!

[@journeykendrick]

Just, wow! Gorgeous homes!

[@chasingllamas1031]

The Cotacachi homes are still my favorite! The green views, vibe, and amount of living space are amazing 😍. The only thing keeping me from putting Cotacachi at the top of the list is wanting to be closer to a larger city at least at the start of our expat journey. But I would LOVE to stay in one of these homes as a retreat. Thank you for all you do to put these videos together- I'm so glad you decided to keep doing them!

[@glenncapitanio470]

As far as aesthetics, definitely the last home. As far as what I would choose, Casa Azul. I'm an outdoor garden guy that would modify backyard with additional veggies and fruit trees.

[@AmeliaAndJP]

Good choice!

[@michaelratchford9508]

Absolutely beautiful houses

[@soundsambient]

I LOVE THE SECOND HOUSE! OMG !!!! 😱

[@nealweeks6632]

Very nice presentation. Loved the last home too. Thank you guys.

[@francesfarmer736]

Cotacachi is the place for me, I love the area! I liked #2 & #4 for different reasons; the azule home with the that fantastic garden, the rooftop with 360 degree view and that master balcony, is great, the downfall is the stairs, not great with stairs unless an elevator (lol) last house was great as well, loved the round living room, the woodwork and that dining room and the kitchen was great.and JP was correct the landscaping looked like an artist did it...and no stairs....very nice bathrooms....I would pick #4 only because it was single level.

[@francesfarmer736]

@@judithsmith9582 if you’re in your 20s 30s or 40s, no problem, but when you reach a certain age you don’t want to be climbing stairs…(and slipping, tripping or breaking something) as much as I love those views, I’d be perfectly happy with a garden to have my morning coffee ☕️🌳🌞

[@SharonOnTheMoveDaily]

I love that you guys are thriving and living your best life’s!❤ great video

[@whacked00]

Wow, Fantastic homes. I LOVE Cotacachi.

[@davebonar1]

I see the temperature is in the low 40's to mi 60's for Feb 23, 2023 which explains why the fireplaces in several homes. What type of heating system is used , forced air electric or another type ? Beautiful homes and if you like the weather then a beautiful place to live in. Thanks.

[@erickvidal9950]

Loved the video. I was thinking can you make a video on a one bedroom condo or a one bed home if any. One day I hope to visit in retirement and is on my list of potential permanent living

[@higuysrealtalkwithtracy4543]

I loved the last 2 homes. Don't want a lot if stairs in the future. May go next year for a couple weeks and rent a flat there.

[@yolandamora514]

Thank you so much for sharing. These Amazing homes in Ecuador You guys do a fantastic job , I now have a clear idea of what to expect When I retire Ecuador is very tempting ...... have a wonderful day

[@JPeat]

I enjoy getting a peak inside these beautiful homes with you two. You're fun positive people. I'm building a simple home of adobe and wood in Oaxaca's Sierra Juarez Mtns. Been wanting to comment on how much I appreciate your channel, always makes me smile.

[@sschreck08]

Loved the last two houses! The landscaping is beautiful!!

[@kentmains7763]

Love all of them but the blue house was just magical!

[@carolartis2149]

Love these houses

[@mr-vet]

If one could take the best parts/features of each of these homes and combine them into one, it would be maravillosa!

[@lth1072]

Beautiful houses . A dream

[@sarahogawa5408]

I’m so happy that Amelia likes the laundry rooms. I’m really big on laundry rooms whenever we rent properties, so I’m happy to see someone else who has this clothes washing fetish! :-) We are enjoying your channel in Kyoto, Japan, as American expats ourselves. Thanks!!

[@sarahmills5678]

You guys are making me love this place!!! 😄😄😄

[@MidnightSky801]

My favorite is the 3rd, but the secret garden house was great, too. All the homes were really nice! 🙂

[@karlportland3280]

I saw that last place on mls-ecuador already. So nice, along with the others, and what value! I could see myself making my home base in Cotacachi in one of these places, and also renting a place in Quito, shuttling back and forth whenever I required big city amenities.

[@er70ca72]

Love the houses. Wish I was there now

[@PROTECT_VILCABAMBA]

Beautiful!!

[@dinapawlow1622]

WoW those houses were beautiful! My favourite was the third one.

[@JonJohnsDad]

I cant wait to visit Cotocachi in June. these are beautiful homes and look to be really great deals.

[@maryjanelarson9045]

WOW, the Blue House is AMAZING!!! I'm completely in love with it.

[@freedomwillring6749]

I think I like the blue house that goes way back. A house like that will keep your life interesting. I'd be happy to live there.

[@oklahogan4290]

agree on the last house, all were beautiful!

[@higuysrealtalkwithtracy4543]

I love the homes there and prices are wonder. How far are hospitals? Is there a large English speaking expat community? What about earthquakes?

[@user-xp5qx8wg9x]

Another quality video. Thanks for the great content and editing.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

[@lifeisgoodafter60]

Great job!!

[@conservative-proud]

Stunning !

[@newtong579]

I really enjoyed your content. Cotacachi is definitely a great choice for anyone seriously considering relocating. My personal choice of home is the last one (Diorama) with the artistic wooden features and no stairs. However, I'm a little confused as to why the big discrepancy in HOA dues. The first house was $25 compared to $265 for the last one. Thanks for the awesome views... 🙏

[@segurosincero4057]

Love seeing your Spanish improve. It’s very encouraging.

[@alreppine3517]

The Blue House is my #1 Choice. It’s also by far the highest maintenance. Was the structure at the end of the garden a storage shed? How much would it be for a half or full time gardener? Any parking? Cars. Import ours or,buy there? Love all your videos for sharing experience and realistic e situations and concerns.

[@4nshale]

I love how they are close to the Centro. All three were great and reasonably priced. However, I think that I would go 3, 2, then 1.

[@jodiehebert8285]

That last one (Diorama) was perfect for a couple!! And HOA not as high. I loved it. We have entertained ideas about Mexico and Portugal, but those homes for 159k are awesome.

[@ibgarrett]

Just an FYI - the "high" today in Denver was 15°F... in case you needed a reminder of what it was like to live here. ;)

Love the last home

[@wernerdanler2742]

I agree. I liked Casa Azul the best. No HOA! Besides, there was a cat. I like any house a cat likes. I live in Vegas, and there are chickens and roosters all around. The roosters don't crow at night, so they are not really a bother. The only thing missing in Azul is a fireplace in the living room. That back garden seemed to go on forever. Will this town be the next Pompei? 🤔

[@donh5794]

You're in Vegas and there are chickens and roosters all around? It is blazing hot there around half the year and they survive?

[@wernerdanler2742]

@@donh5794 yep! Dogs to. I've been a cat person for a long time because you don't have to walk them and especially since they don't bark. 😆

@@wernerdanler2742 Ok, dogs I know. I just never saw chickens and roosters from decades of visiting and occasionally working there. I know the area very well.

Amazing properties - thanks for making these videos! Interesting to me that JP is from Kansas (my mother's family is from Western Kansas, Garden City area) and that you all lived in Denver (I lived most of my life there) before moving to Ecuador. Will be checking out your website. Thanks again for the great content!

[@PhilipSteeves]

I really like Case Azul, A little bit of work and it is a dream home, for sure! Pretty tiny town, though!

[@MysticFogGarden]

Diorama house, nice floor plan. I would like to come see Ecuador, Thanks

[@rogerkenworthy6380]

Great houses with each having some very stunning details. What about termites? With all that beautiful wood interior work, are they a problem?

[@kenweiss8565]

WOW so beautiful! I Like the the last house best, few stairs! You say you walk everwhere. You may have filed it and I havent found it, but filming an average day, shopping for food, eating out, filling in the day, would be interesting. I am running at such a pace now that if I went there I wonder how disconnected or bored I might feel.

[@marias5088]

I liked the last two houses in this video but they are a bit too small for a family of 4 with older children. It would be nice to see what the 3 or 4 bedroom houses in similar neighborhoods look like and what they are selling for. We had originally wanted to move to Eastern Europe but time difference with the USA is just too huge and I also would not like to stay up late for work. Ecuador seems like a nice country to move to. Thank you for showing us the properties, Amelia and JP! Blessings!

[@johnrencher442]

Wow, all of these houses are stunning with such authentic Latin flair.. Absolutely love all of them… and the prices are amazing… I am sure they are all sold by now… Thanks for sharing, and I hope you are doing well…..

[@kelisee4274]

The second house hooked me. Didn't need to see more💥🥀

[@davidc1961utube]

I totally get that you guys walk or are driven everywhere, but many of us want to know what the parking situation is for each house. I would need to park a 4x4 and a motorcycle, and I would want something at least out of the rain. Those are all interesting and affordable choices, and as cool as the $200k to $300k homes are, most of us are not going to be able to foot that bill. I really liked Cotacachi. I found it to be clean, plenty of cool restaurants and I found a great masseuse!

I love the last one! ❤❤❤

[@robcarrey9159]
