Is it possible to buy a house with BTC in your country?

[HONDACD125]

If you've got 5.5 BTC, I will sell you my house right now.

That's above $680k at the current price. Do you live in a fancy neighborhood, or are you just demanding extra because you know no one is going to pay you that much since you don't want to sell it? 

Anyway, someone would only accept such an offer if they live around there, or at least within the same country. It also depends on personal choices of people, like, if I have 5.5 BTC, I'm not going to spend that money on buying a house, unless I know that I have my earning part sorted, because if you are not making good money on a constant basis, you should spend your money on improving that first, and then you should think about these things. I don't consider people being wise if they go for a house, a car, and other luxuries when they have money even when they are still doing a 9 to 5 job.

Coming back to the question in OP, no, you can't buy a house in my country with Bitcoin because it's not yet legal, and on top of that, most people don't know about it, especially in the real estate sector.

You could in Canada but you'd most likely cash out through an exchange a few times as exchanges have limits unless lifted or increased and pay tax through the entire process.

In my country Bitcoin is not publicly accepted for payment means or foreign exchanges yet only if it exist between both the buyer and seller which is an agreed situationship but internationally, it's not being used for exchanges and I believe with time it would be integrated with Bitcoin's massive outreach.

The time that Bitcoin would be globally used is coming and nothing could stop that. Bitcoin is now and forever.

I’m currently promoting a highly interesting property for sale in Bitcoin, located in the Mexican Caribbean—specifically in Tulum (you can learn more about it here: https://bucefalo.group/whitepaper 

Due to the owner’s complex health issues, as well as other challenges that have arisen within their family circle, we are exploring the possibility of auctioning the property—also in Bitcoin. 

In the meantime, we’ve launched an exciting promotion for those interested in expanding the Bitcoin ecosystem in this region, tied to the property I’m referring to. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to Bitcoin adoption while engaging with a remarkable location. 

Feel free to reach out if you’d like more details or wish to participate!

If I had 5.5 Bitcoins, I would also hold these Bitcoins so that I could buy a flat with one Bitcoin in the future.
I don't need a house, but Bitcoin is much more valuable to me than a house. If I have Bitcoin, I will have a house, but if I have a house, it will not be possible to buy Bitcoin if the price of Bitcoin increases later. Moreover, people now live in rented flats instead of building their own homes. Maybe I will live in rented flats, but I will not sell my Bitcoin.

Why 5.5 BTC and not 5 or 6? Aren't you trying to sell your house a bit too expensive? I'd like to see what this building looks like. $690k...could buy a house on the moon for that kind of money.

I think, at the overpriced price, buying a house for bitcoin won't be difficult. Purchasing btc specifically to pay for a house seems silly. I could only imagine that the old holders (who bought bitcoin at a different exchange rate) could have paid for the house for 5.5 BTC.

Although I have no idea what kind of mansions the bitcointalk moderators live in. Maybe that's what their mansions cost.

5.5BTC equivalent to 690k$ is a huge amount of money and we can own a moderate villa or a fully furnished luxury house in developing countries. But with this amount of money, we can only buy an average 2-bedroom apartment or house in developed countries. So I guess he comes from a developed country.

The gap in average income and cost of living between developed and third world countries is huge. So for many of us this might be a huge amount but for them this is just an average amount. Just like owning 1BTC is not too difficult for them but it is an impossible task for people in 3rd world countries.

Tax payment is inevitable, and as long as the exchange to use is regulated, the amount which you want to sell and the cost of the house will determine how much you sell on a single sale. If not, Bitcoin can't be used to pay for tax. It could have been easier to even purchase something directly using cryptocurrency in Canada, but due to the tax problem, I guess real estate agents will have to avoid that.

[nanoecosystems]

It’s important to highlight that there are always people who aspire to own their own home—or, to put it another way, who are tired of paying rent. In light of this, it’s worth noting that it is now possible to buy property with Bitcoin, such as the beautiful property I am currently promoting (more about here). 

Located not far from town—in Isla Mujeres—BTC Isla is developing an exemplary project that promotes the circular economy with Bitcoin. This initiative is particularly significant because the connections between these locations are quite close, making both areas of local interest with immense potential.

How is it in your country ?

Yes, it's possible, but I'll have to explain the source of the funds. Plus, if I make such a large purchase with Bitcoin, it will be national news, and I'm sure the media will write about it. Do I need that? No... It will attract the attention of the tax authorities, and they'll ask me questions I definitely don't want to answer. So, I'd rather convert my Bitcoins to fiat like everyone else does and buy a house with a currency that doesn't attract attention...

I've always wanted to live in a small house, the hustle and bustle of living in an apartment gets a little tiresome. I think 1 bitcoin would be enough to buy a nice house in a quiet place, and I'd keep the rest of the bitcoins for hold, hoping to make even more profit in the future. And I think that would be enough to buy a better house and ensure I have enough money to be secure for the rest of my life. But 5 bitcoins seems like an unattainable goal right now.

It is because people know about cryptocurrencies, but then again some people wouldn't feel safe transacting in a currency that is not their daily... they will likely prefer the funds are wired to their bank account for formalities and also to process property transfer tax and that stuff...

But of course, millennials would have no problem with such a transaction 

[bhadz]

I haven't seen any listings in our country here in the Philippines. And I'd love to transact using bitcoin for buying even small parcels of land. The transfer here is just the problem and it sucks that the fee for doing it is going to take around 5% of the whole amount of the purchase.

But of course, millennials would have no problem with such a transaction 

It will still depend on where they are going to do it. I just remember that there were holders before that have asked to purchase real estate and that'll cost them several hundreds to thousands of BTC.

And this kind of business can only be done with people that are familiar of the bitcoin already because how do you convince people that has no knowledge that you want to make payment with bitcoin. And now that things are a little exposed so they won't find it very hard to understand but the only issue will be how do they convert it from Bitcoin to fiat most of them don't even have this knowledge and it is very important for them to choose bitcoin because the transaction is fast.

Doh it depends on the  country because there countries that accept bitcoin as a means of payment so in such places I don't think there will be an issue purchasing anything with bitcoin so all this depends on the country, like mine there people that will accept a equivalent value of bitcoin to what you are buying.

 An interesting prospect, and I assume you're targeting something far more important and valuable in the future. In this case, Bitcoin is growing rapidly and has a fairly high value. By owning Bitcoin, most people buy apartments, houses, and even cars with their Bitcoin. In a broader sense, they already own a significant amount of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin plays a crucial role in today's economic era. Owning Bitcoin makes it very easy to manage their needs and desires. I think I will continue to maintain Bitcoin as my primary asset in this section.

For those of you who don't own much Bitcoin, it's better to buy and hold on to it more often than to sell it for something else. Those who can afford to buy apartments, houses, and cars with Bitcoin are certainly not just ordinary people. These people not only have a lot of Bitcoin but also have a lot of money. So when they don't have enough money, they'll naturally rely on Bitcoin to cover the shortfall, although not in larger amounts, because their primary source of funds for purchasing anything is money, not a long-held asset like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has already achieved several all-time highs in the market, and it's likely to do so again this month if the price correction isn't too severe. That's why Bitcoin interest is growing, and people who previously disliked it are now seeing it as a valuable asset and an opportunity to secure the best in the future. Therefore, those of us who are already aware of this shouldn't just let go of Bitcoin unless there's an urgent need.

I wouldn’t mind. It would be pretty nice to live in Canada. It seems a lot peaceful up there and I hear healthcare is affordable if not free. One bitcoin would be enough to pack up my life and move but for a more comfortable and easy migration I’d say I need 2 bitcoins. Just so I can start living comfortably in another country

[Gamanka@@]

Anywhere in the world where cryptocurrencies are not banned, it is possible to buy anything for BTC if there is someone selling something, and someone who wants to buy something in that way. Of course, every country has its own rules for such transactions, but I don't think it makes much difference whether you buy a house with fiat or BTC. If it's a large amount of money, you'll always need to prove its origin and pay all fees that are required by law.

However, the question arises whether it makes sense for someone to buy a house/apartment and pay with BTC (if that brings additional complications) or simply sell BTC and pay the money into a bank account and thus buy real estate. In addition, if you live in a relatively small country, it would certainly not be wise to attract attention in such a way - keeping a low profile in case you have a large value in cryptocurrencies is a matter of personal safety.

Meanwhile yes it's possible to buy house in bitecoin but not in all  countries do accept why, because generally you as a buyer you have checkmate whom you buying from does he or she accept such,  and it's also have to do with the nation you are does such of a thing of bitecoin legal before you proceed in buying, and if luckily you are able to meet a person whom accept such your business will be  much flow and very easier .

Further more if really a country do not accept such and you want to buy a house you have to do it in other way round such as going to the nearest bank to exchange the BTC so as the business of buying the house can be flow and with that since the business as taken place in that of the process so is still bitecoin, Meanwhile as for me yes BTC can buy  house.

Everyone with their choice but I don't want to leave in a rented apartment forever. With 1 Bitcoin now, I can have a good home that is more than a flat in good estate, it might not be a flashy house like many might have dream but I can do that and I will do that now and hold the rest of Bitcoin. However, if I have the opportunity to stay in a country where mortgage works, I will keep the Bitcoin and work my house to get one house and manage for the time, when I have money from Bitcoin, I can sell the one I had and buy another good house.

In my country, I most of the estate developers and agent accept any kind of payment you can think of as long as the asset you are giving them is an asset with liquidity where it can be exchange for money quickly. I think on a global scale, most housing business people are aware of Bitcoin, they will take it from you without a doubt but I'm sure they will want to receive in an exchange wallet so they can p2p immediately without any stress of running away.

If I mention our country, Bitcoin is not being used legally in our country yet, due to which I cannot buy any porn with Bitcoin in my country. Yes, but with those like me who have a few more Bitcoin transactions in our country, we can purchase some amount of goods with Bitcoin transactions, but we cannot purchase any porn with Bitcoin from the market or any company. However, we can buy a house by converting Bitcoin into the fiat currency of our own country. If El Salvador or other countries that have accepted Bitcoin and they have been using Bitcoin independently and they can deposit Bitcoin as a reserve in a bank account if they want. However, in our country, we have not heard any news in favor of Bitcoin so far, whether Bitcoin will still be accepted in our country. However, it is hoped that if Bitcoin is accepted in several more countries, the government of our country will think about Bitcoin.
