Can you tell me the real, serious and honest prices for hom renting in Caracas ?

Question

I tried to get some info on the internet, but it seems that the prices, either for sale or for rent, are the same prices than in Europe ( I am in France ).

I see in the news that Venezuela has poverty and unemployment problems, despite of its being a huge oil producer, and I've heard that the middle salary and the minimum salary are only 1/3 of the middle european salary and the minimum european salary.

So I just can't understand why 60m2 apartements can cost more than 100 000 euros in Venezuela. Not to mention monthly rent prices that are the same as Paris centre !!! ( more than 600 euros per month )

Can you explain me HOW poor people in Venezuela can pay their home rent or buy a house ?

Answer 1

Very poor people live in the slums. They don't pay rent becuse they make their own homes.

Answer 2

Poor people live in terrible situation, and dont pay that... youre looking for apartments that are much nicer than the normal Venezuelan live in. It has been 2 years since I lived in Venezuela and we have had a large devaluation in our currency, but to me it does sound like too muh what they're charging you.

Are you sure that you're getting the ammounts right?
