Scott Kirk compared waterfront property in the Algarve, Portugal with one of similar value in California to see what you can buy. He started his search looking for comparable properties around 300-400,000 dollars/euros. Unfortunately the first problem arose that there were no waterfront properties in California for that price range, but Zillow did suggest one for $539,000 so we compared a €300,000 property in Algarve, Portugal with another in California which cost another $239,000.
It became clear early on that the exterior of the building was dated in the California property. It wasn’t just the borg-like exterior that was a modern day disappointment, it was also the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
You then look at the Algarve Property in Portugal and you’ll quickly see there is no comparison. Modern design, 6 pools, water taxi to the islands, and more. When you see the living room design you know at that point the California property has nothing on this. It looks modern, impeccably designed, and you feel yourself at home when you look at the photos.
In the end, there’s really no choice, Algarve Portugal wins easily.
