The practical problem is that I have only one completed sale to rely on; the other three comparisons are asking prices. Against that limited evidence, I am considering a 2-bed Rio de Janeiro townhouse of roughly 90 m² in average condition, listed at R$5,292,000. The implied R$58,800 per m²...

Thanks all. This has clarified the order for me: I’ll start on the local board, define what counts as an advertised and completed price, and build a table that separates confirmed numbers from assumptions. My immediate focus is new-build investment modelling rather than a first home, so I’ll...

Choosing the wrong ownership structure could cost far more at sale or inheritance than any saving made on completion. The property is a São Paulo warehouse at about R$6,356,000. I have allowed for transfer tax, registration, notary work and legal fees, but I am less confident about recurring...

New-build flats are my main interest at the moment, although renovation costs and ongoing property management may affect whether they really offer better value. I’m in Rio de Janeiro and trying to build comparisons from transaction costs and credible sale evidence rather than relying on listing...

First make the agent define “it.” Inspection protection, a financing condition and an appraisal shortfall are three different risks. “Clean financing” should mean organised proof and a credible path to funds, not that you promise to complete regardless of whether financing is approved. Also...

I would separate renovation costs from the valuation rather than apply a broad condition deduction, but that only works once the comparable itself is properly understood. Was its stated area measured on the same basis, and did it include a terrace, parking or shared allocation? Its floor plan...

I’m comparing a 215 m² coastal home with a similarly priced villa in Rio de Janeiro. The coastal home appears simpler to maintain, especially if some exterior costs are shared, while the villa offers more control but could bring larger and less predictable repair bills. My current comparison...

I’m looking at mixed-use property in Rio de Janeiro priced around R$6,205,000–R$9,307,000 and deciding how much weight to give roughly 61 days on market. The market seems split: buildings with a clear vacancy position move differently from those with uncertain occupancy. Does 61 days now...

Make the offer about evidence and terms, not criticism of the flat: limited completed comparables, the cost of the required updates, financing proof and your flexible completion date. An 11% opening is assertive, but not inherently insulting. Give it a clear response deadline and leave room to...

I’m tracking detached homes in Rio de Janeiro between R$3,046,000 and R$4,570,000. The live sample suggests roughly 85 days to find a buyer: renovated homes move quickly, while others sit and take price cuts. The biggest outliers seem connected to property tax. Do recent completed sales support...

I’m assessing a 1-bed serviced apartment in Rio de Janeiro: approximately 160 m², average condition, asking R$4,396,000. That works out at R$27,475 per m², although I’m wary of relying on a simple area calculation for an unusually large one-bedroom unit. Its strongest features are light and...
