When it comes to prices on Boa Vista, plenty of figures are bandied about, often without context. Here we start from real examples of properties currently for sale and explain what makes the difference between one home and another.
The price range on Boa Vista
On the island you will find options from €50,000 to more than €500,000. The range is wide because the market is varied: from a small apartment in a residential complex to a villa, by way of suites in properties with hotel-style management.
The properties we select are direct sales, with no agency commission: a detail that affects the total cost and is always worth checking.
Real examples: what you can buy today
Around €65,000
The Estrela do Mar Apartment is a T1 (one-bedroom) in Sal Rei, furnished, with a balcony, for sale at €65,000. It is an example of an entry point into the market: a ready-to-use home in town, suited to anyone who wants a holiday base.
Around €90,000
The Por do Sol suite with pool costs €90,000: a T1 in Sal Rei, in the Praia Cabral area, furnished, with a terrace overlooking the pool and a few metres from the sea.
At the same starting price you will find the suites at The View, the 65-suite Apart-Hotel on the beach at Praia Cabral designed by the architect Giò Gozzi. Here the price includes a different format: professional management and personal use for 4 weeks a year.
Around €120,000
The sea-view apartment at Vila Cabral costs €120,000: bright, with a sea view, close to the beach at Praia de Cruz. A sea view is one of the factors that most affects the price.
All the selected properties are on the properties for sale page; the full list is on the page homes for sale in Cape Verde and Boa Vista on Boavista2000.com. An overview of prices by area is in the guide house prices on Boa Vista, area by area on Boavista2000.com.
What pushes the price up (or down)
- Location: proximity to the sea, to Sal Rei and to services.
- Sea view: an ocean outlook is worth more than an inward-facing one.
- Condition and furnishings: a furnished, ready property costs more, but saves you expense and time.
- Complex facilities: pool, reception, maintenance of communal areas.
- Format: an Apart-Hotel suite includes a management model; a traditional apartment leaves you free but the management is up to you.
- Ready or off-plan: a property under construction is bought first and received later; it pays to understand the timescales and safeguards clearly (see buying off-plan).
The price is not the total cost
On top of the purchase price there are additional costs: the deed, registration, any taxes, service charges or management fees, and furnishings if missing. We do not quote figures off the top of our heads because they depend on the individual case: tax and legal matters must be checked with a professional. A practical overview is in the guide costs and taxes for buying a home in Cape Verde on Boavista2000.com.
Always ask for a written breakdown of all the costs before signing. A reputable seller will provide one without hesitation.
Apartment or suite: the same price is not the same purchase
At €90,000 you can buy either a suite in a residential complex or a suite in an Apart-Hotel. The price is similar, but what you get is different:
- with a traditional property you decide when to use it and whether to let it, but you organise the management;
- with a suite at The View the property is registered in your name, management is entrusted to professionals and personal use is 4 weeks a year.
So weigh up the price together with the time you want to devote to the property.
How to choose the right budget
- Decide first how much you want to use the home and how much time you want to devote to management.
- Set aside a margin for initial costs and the unexpected.
- Compare similar properties, not just similar prices: a managed suite and a self-managed apartment are not the same thing (read the comparison).
