Even in a tough overseas housing market, wanderlust can still be accommodated for the adventurous, especially those willing to venture outside capital cities. Average prices for the 29 countries reviewed by Coldwell Banker came in under $488,000, with the high-priced destinations balanced out by deals in destinations such as Hanoi ($166,000); Maracaibo, Venezuela ($118,000); Gaziantep, Turkey ($173,000); and Tangerang, Indonesia ($146,000).
By far the best overseas deal going? Salinas, Ecuador at $69,375. The area, a former salt mine, boasts a 9.5-mile beach and is the starting point for the “Route of the Sun,” Ecuador’s own Riviera. Prices there have been rising after completion of another oil pipeline to sate the world’s fossil fuel thirst. But the online newsletter International Living, which details the “best places in the world to live, retire, travel and invest,” continues to give Salinas high ratings

i dont appreciate your site name GRINGO, you might as well expect me to call you the SPICK site. the term is totally derogatory and for you to assume that that term is acceptable is distasteful. also, as far as i am concerned, your company is unworthy of my money, and all americans money.
i will go out of my way now to discourage on-line viewers to invest in you site, fools.
truly,
the wealthiest guy you’ll ever come in contact with’
I too am a gringo and not at all offended by the moniker. I guess dickhead is just the kind of person who can’t be happy living in his parents basement, free of rent and being a kept kid nor can remember the other names he’s been called. I doubt that you will miss his “wealth” and could probably do without his referrals to your site. The other kids are probably as childish as he. Oh well. I have enjoyed your site and really appreciate the info on Ecuador. I would like to visit this interesting country on my next trip. Thanks.
I used to think Gringa was offensive till I learned how it is used in Ecuador. Now I’m happy to call myself a gringa so long as the person using it doesn’t make it an insult it’s just another adjective.
Thanks for the info. I’m a big fan of Salinas.
Chao,
Mary
PS I don’t think that guy is wealthy as most wealthy people don’t flaunt their money.
