A Cuban living on the Island went viral on social media after showcasing the spacious house that his friend, a barber, bought for just 10 thousand dollars.
The video, posted on TikTok by the creator known as El Cubanito sin Filtro, has sparked hundreds of comments due to the surprising size and condition of the property.
"Join me to visit the house that my hairdresser bought while living in Cuba," the influencer begins to say in the clip, which has already garnered thousands of views. During the tour, he shows that the house consists of five rooms, a large patio, and even an additional bathroom outside.
"This is the first one, which is quite large, my love; this is the second, a bit smaller; this is the third, which is large again; this is the fourth, and finally, this is the fifth, which will be used for the kitchen," the TikToker narrated while showing the rooms.
The video also shows that the main bathroom needs a complete remodel, but the creator is confident that their friend will know how to fix it: "He is curious about those things, so I feel like it's going to turn out beautiful."
According to what he said, the hairdresser plans to use one of the outdoor bathrooms to attend to clients when he sets up his business at home. “Look at this great house,” commented the influencer, visibly impressed, as he showed the large patio with a water cistern included.
The property, as detailed, had a total cost of $10,000, a figure that many users considered low for the size and general condition of the property, especially given the high prices currently in the Cuban real estate market.
In the comments section, several internet users expressed their surprise at the price: "Very expensive for how run-down it is," wrote one user; while another pointed out, "I don't know why properties in Cuba cost so much when they are so old."
The phenomenon of Cubans buying or renovating homes within the country has grown in recent years, especially among those who receive remittances from abroad, in the context of an economic crisis and a general increase in the cost of goods.
