Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Macau should start by researching the different neighborhoods and districts in the city. They should also consider their budget and the type of property they are looking for. It is also important to research the local real estate market and the availability of properties. Homes in Macau typically include amenities such as air conditioning, modern appliances, and high-speed internet. Many homes also have balconies or terraces with views of the city or the ocean. Foreigners are allowed to purchase properties in Macau, but there are some restrictions. Foreigners are not allowed to purchase properties in certain areas, such as the Macau Special Administrative Region. Additionally, foreigners must obtain a permit from the Macau government before they can purchase a property.

How do I find a place to live in Macau?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Macau can be a daunting task. The best way to start is by researching online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation in Macau. Additionally, you can also look for classified ads in local newspapers and magazines. It is also a good idea to contact real estate agents in the area to get more information about available properties. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Macau for advice and recommendations," remarked one member in Macau.
