House for sale in Havana for 120,000 dollars: "Is it in Cuba or Florida?"

The ad for a house for sale for 120,000 dollars in the Playa municipality of Havana sparked comments on social media, including one that ironically asked if the property was in Cuba or Florida, United States.

Manuela Mejías Hernández mentioned the sale of the house in the Facebook group "Sale of Houses and Apartments in Havana," indicating that the property is located in the residential area of Ampliación de Almendares.

The house is independent and has two floors, built in 1950, with brick walls and a reinforced concrete mezzanine, and features mixed flooring of granite and tiles, as detailed in the sales advertisement.

On the ground floor, it has a garden, garage, living room, kitchen, dining room, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, patios, and covered terraces, while the upper floor has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an uncovered balcony, as well as gas services, 110 and 220 currents, and equipment such as split air conditioning in three rooms, water heater, cistern, and pump.

Despite the characteristics and location of the property, many users in the comments section agreed that the price is well above what it should cost.

Ivonet Marrero Alex said: "With that money, 12 families could go see the volcanoes or the Christ the Redeemer, it doesn’t matter."

"It’s obvious that he lost a zero or the last neuron he had left with the parole," pointed out Iris Castillo.

Roberto Treto also pointed out: "Too expensive for what you're offering, with that money I can buy four houses in Havana and better than that, look at the listings so you at least have an idea."

“Gentlemen, these blackouts have people delirious,” ironized Pedro Reinoso.

Alky Banos asked: Is that in Florida?

Housing prices in Cuba regularly generate controversy on social media, highlighting their connection to the current migration crisis.

Recently, two mansions were put up for sale in the real estate market in Havana at prices that seem intended for a very select group of potential buyers.

These two residences, located in the municipalities of Plaza de la Revolución and Playa, are offered for 800,000 and 600,000 dollars, respectively.

Amid the current economic crisis faced by Cubans, some ground floor properties in El Vedado, Havana, ideal for businesses, were recently put up for sale.

The price of these "excellent opportunities" ranged from 22,000 to 30,000 dollars, in a country where the average salary is over 4,000 pesos, around 20 dollars according to the informal currency market.
