For $437,000 one could get a hugely better, safer and perfectly legal, protected investment home here in Toronto. Why would anyone in his right mind buy a dubious property like this in Goa?? > Mario responds: > Francis, > There are obviously many with more money that brains. > To add some perspective to your trenchant question above, scroll down to the bottom of the following URL and check out the prices in the gated community called Aldeia de Goa in Dona Paula near Goa University overlooking Marmugoa Harbor. The apartments are going for Rs. 1.16 to 1.49 crores, and the detached villas for Rs. 4.20 crores. > http://www.axiomestates.com/aldeia-de-goa.htm > There is a good reason why developers and politicians are hooking up to build in any and every decent location they can - exhorbitant prices of the kind you saw advertised in Canada. Depending on its location and views there is a good chance the seller of the house you showed will get close to his asking price. >
