Real Estate in Micronesia

Last updated on Jul 28, 2023

Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Micronesia should start by researching the local real estate market. They can look for listings online, contact local real estate agents, or attend open houses. Homes in Micronesia typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and air conditioning. Some homes may also include additional features such as a pool, a garden, or a garage. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Micronesia, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land, and they must obtain a permit from the government before they can purchase a home.

How do I find a place to live in Micronesia?

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

"If you are looking for a place to live in Micronesia, there are a few options available. You can search online for rental listings in the area, or contact a local real estate agent who can help you find a suitable property. Additionally, you can look for classified ads in local newspapers or online forums to find potential rental opportunities. You can also ask around in the local community to see if anyone knows of any available properties. Finally, you can also contact the local government offices to inquire about any housing assistance programs that may be available," remarked one member in Micronesia.
