18 Philippine Towns Where Retirees Are Buying Houses For Under $75,000

The average American home costs $420,000. The average American retirement is about $2,000 a month. So I priced twenty Philippine towns where houses are listed under $75,000. Two of them didn't make it into this video and I explain why on camera. Every price below is a real asking price from a Philippine property portal, checked on 15 August 2026 and converted at 61.5 pesos to the dollar. Every listing is linked. Go and check me. BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT THE LAND: you're right. A foreigner cannot own land in the Philippines. It's in their constitution. Only a condominium unit with its own title can be owned outright by a foreigner, and not one of these eighteen is a condo. Every one of them needs a Filipino spouse, a 60/40 corporation, or a 25-year lease. I cover exactly how that works at 1:25. THE 18 LISTINGS 1.

THE HONEST SMALL PRINT These are asking prices, not sale prices, checked on one day in August 2026. Listings go stale, exchange rates move, and some of these will be gone by the time you watch. #RetireAbroad #Philippines #RetireInThePhilippines #RetireOnSocialSecurity
