Dunya News

According to survey report, Ecuador has the cheapest homes around the globe

LAHORE (Web Desk) – InterNations, a community network, has recently published its annual survey called Expat Insider 2016 in which it analysed 191 countries across the world. Over fourteen thousand respondents were asked about how was their experience of shifting to another country.

Basic data like demographics, real estate, employment, human rights and a variety of other variables were put into consideration. Respondents were asked about how they were being treated in the new country, the way of life, cultural acceptance, personal finance, family life and ease of settling in as an expatriate.



One of their aims of study was to find out availability of housing and its affordability. Their team of professional survey conductors verified housing costs in all countries under study and came up with the top 10 and bottom 10 countries where housing was affordable.

Ecuador was identified to be the country with the cheapest houses whereas the United Kingdom was said to have the most expensive houses around the globe. Ecuador is followed by Thailand, Hungary, Mexico and Philippines. On the list of countries with the least affordable homes, there is Switzerland, Kuwait, Singapore and Nigeria.

On the other hand, Expat Insider 2016 also studied the countries where housing is available as there are many countries which lack homes for new expats. Here you can see the most favorable and least favorable countries in housing availability.
