Last updated on Apr 03, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Madagascar should begin their search by researching the local real estate market. They should look for listings on websites such as Immobilier.mg, Immo-Madagascar, and Immo-Plus. Additionally, they should consider contacting a local real estate agent who can provide more information about the local market and help them find the right property. Homes in Madagascar typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and a kitchen. Depending on the location and price range, some homes may also include air conditioning, a pool, or other luxury features. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Madagascar, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land, and they must obtain permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before purchasing a property. Additionally, foreigners are not allowed to own more than one property in Madagascar.
