Marina: Yes, it’s an amazing sight if you’ve never seen them before. Rob: Yeah, it really is. Okay, so let’s talk a little bit about how expensive it is to live in Marbella because I know that this is sort of your area so let’s say that I said, “Marina I want to come out there and I’m not going to be there all year long but I’d love to have a place in the ocean, a simple place, maybe a couple of bedrooms either near or on the ocean. How much would it cost me to rent and how much would it cost me to purchase?” Marina: My first question to you would be, “What is your budget?” Rob: So you got to ask it backwards, right? (laughs) Marina: Absolutely (laughs). The range of properties available here is simply amazing. When we get down to the most expensive areas, it’ll be anything between 5, 10, 15 thousand dollars a month. So if we go for less expensive we can find something for a thousand dollars however during the summer period it’s very hard to find a place to stay so if you decide to move here for a year or two you better move in winter or spring because summer there are so many tourists, landlords are just not willing to rent. They’re making as much money in 1 week as they would in a month for the rest of the year. Rob: Got it. Okay, so if I wanted to come down and I wanted to say, “I want to be on the beach for a month, in some kind of villa. What’s the minimum I can expect to pay for something decent?” Marina: Summer time, definitely is a weekly rate. A Weekly rate would be around $2,000 or $3,000 for a villa. Rob: Okay, so for maybe $2,000 a week, roughly. And do they require any minimums? In other words you have to have 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks or how does that generally work with villa rentals?
Marina: No, it’s rented per week. Rob: And you do that kind of thing as well? Marina: Yes, absolutely. That’s why I was asking you a question, “What is your budget?” It answers the question, “What can I get?” it all depends on you and what you’re prepared to pay. Rob: So it’s a big, wide range. You can go with a million dollar villa or you can go with something smaller. Marina: you can go with 20 million dollar villa here (laughs). Rob: (laughs) Okay, it definitely answered my question. Marina: I was just looking at one down the road. I can see from the terrace of the office and there’s one villa that costs about $4,500 a night. Rob: Wow. Okay, so the bottom line is it has it all. You can go with the low end, you can go with the high end. Everything is available to all different budgets. Marina: Absolutely. Rob: Let’s talk a little bit about expats. That’s how we refer to Americans living abroad. Do you have many expats that live in Marbella?
