FunTranscript
00:01This view is priceless.
00:04Imagine a world of bargain dream real estate.
00:08Just $41,000.
00:11What?
00:11This is unheard of for the States.
00:14Global destinations.
00:16Bonjour.
00:17I'm going to embarrass myself.
00:18From Marjorie.
00:20I love it.
00:21Great way to meet Inezus.
00:22Yeah.
00:23This architecture is amazing.
00:26And local expert know-how.
00:29The cost of this in the States, I think it would be double for sure.
00:33The cost of living here is so much more affordable than the U.S.
00:36It is definitely a bargain.
00:39You can afford to live your dream.
00:42I can't believe this is going to be my new home.
00:45At a price you never thought possible.
00:48You did incredible.
00:49This is exactly what we came all this way for.
01:01Look at this view, right?
01:03Yeah, it's unreal.
01:04How the sun just hit the water.
01:07So nice.
01:08So pretty.
01:08Can you imagine waking up to this every day?
01:11It's going to be gorgeous.
01:12Yeah.
01:15Yeah.
01:15Crete.
01:16The largest of the Greek islands.
01:18A place of jaw-dropping beauty.
01:21Even though it's just an hour's flight from the Greek capital, Athens.
01:25Homes here are up to 40% cheaper because the island is less developed.
01:30And you can still find a bargain dream home for 150,000 U.S. dollars.
01:37I turned 30 this year and I realized that my entire life, especially being the oldest of
01:42four girls, I love the job of big sister, but I realized that it made me choose everyone else before
01:48me.
01:48And when I hit 30, I said, what am I doing?
01:51I came to Crete for vacation a few months ago, absolutely fell in love with it.
01:55So I just packed my things into two suitcases and moved to Greece.
01:58You guys are so pretty. I wish there were some pretty men to look at.
02:01I'm sure we'll find some.
02:03On this journey with me, I've got my best friend, Andreas, and I brought him along because he's got an
02:07eye for detail.
02:08Anna sees the dream, but I see the problem.
02:12I'm the one who keeps her on her feet, you know, because it's my holiday home.
02:20Finding Anna a bargain home 6,000 miles from Tennessee needs someone who knows the island inside out.
02:29So, Crete, there is still a lot of great opportunities to be had.
02:32Of course, there's developed parts of Crete, very close to the airport.
02:36But because the infrastructure is improving, it's easier to get away from the airport where the better deals are to
02:41be made.
02:43Hi guys!
02:44Hi!
02:46So, welcome to Crete. It has, of course, gorgeous mountains, beautiful sea, but why have you chosen to be here?
02:52So I'm looking for a much slower, more relaxed pace of life.
02:55Yeah, she's not a city girl. I'm a city boy, but unfortunately she's not a city girl.
03:01She can visit you in Athens.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Or I'll visit her.
03:04Yes.
03:04Perfect.
03:05Nice.
03:06I run a business with my dad and my aunt.
03:09I have a digital nomad resident permit where I work remotely, and I'm able to stay here and renew it
03:14every two years.
03:15Super. Very smart.
03:16Yeah.
03:16So just to talk money real quick, what's the budget here? What are you comfortable with?
03:20$120,000 cash. I can go up to $200,000 with a mortgage to top it off.
03:24It's really important to me that my dollar stretches a little further than what it did in Tennessee.
03:28My new home needs to have two bedrooms, a great outdoor living space, sea view, and a really nice kitchen.
03:34I love to cook.
03:35All I need now is the perfect house and the perfect guy. I'll be in Crete forever.
03:40Let's find it.
03:41Yeah, let's do it.
03:43Giving up a lease on a rental apartment in Nashville to buy into the dream is pretty bold.
03:48But Crete has an exceptionally low cost of living, stretches 160 miles from west to east,
03:56takes just 12 hours to drive around, and has 300 days of sunshine a year.
04:02It's an adventurer's paradise.
04:04So, Dion, this is a really important question.
04:07Yep.
04:07I've not seen a lot of eye candy yet.
04:09Where can I find the men?
04:11Oh.
04:12You know it's olive harvest season, eh?
04:15Okay.
04:15So, all the strong men there in the fields right now, gathering the olives, so...
04:20Ooh!
04:22We'll find some along the way, yeah.
04:24Perfect.
04:25Nice.
04:26Anna's search for a Greek bargain and the man of her dreams begins on the eastern side of the island,
04:33in Nothalias.
04:37A tiny mountaintop village with a tiny population.
04:41With the average price of a two-bedroom apartment in Nashville being around $300,000, this traditional stone cottage is
04:50a steal.
04:51So, the price of this property is $149,000 U.S. dollars, because it's not discovered by tourism, and it's
04:58the actual local Cretan village life.
05:01It has this price.
05:03It's real value for money.
05:04Oh, my gosh.
05:05I could never afford this if it was in Nashville.
05:07It looks beautiful from the outside.
05:08I can't wait to see what's inside.
05:10It looks great, but it's also a bit remote.
05:13That's what I want to know.
05:14Is this too remote?
05:15Is this the right amount of remote?
05:17That's what we're here to find out.
05:19So exciting.
05:20Me too.
05:21Okay, this is so cute.
05:28Oh, my gosh.
05:29I'm not gonna lie, it feels really cute.
05:32I don't know, Anna.
05:34Like, look at the windows.
05:36I can see the mountains.
05:38This is incredible.
05:40At 893 square feet, the main feature of the house is the Camara, a stone arch traditional in older Cretan
05:50homes.
05:51This bargain house comes with a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a terrace with sea views.
06:03I love this traditional archway.
06:06It feels very old Crete, which is really cool.
06:09Yeah, this is cool, but it's also dangerous.
06:12I mean, imagine coming down at night wanting a glass of water.
06:17You may hit your head like...
06:19I don't know.
06:21I don't know, maybe.
06:23Okay.
06:24So, do you think this is the primary?
06:26That's a good question.
06:28It's a little bit small.
06:29Yeah, it's not necessarily as spacious as I was like.
06:32Maybe this isn't the primary.
06:33So, we'll see.
06:39Oh my gosh, this is so cute.
06:42This feels more open, right?
06:44This is cute.
06:44Okay.
06:45Yeah.
06:45I would maybe want to get...
06:47I don't know if you could fit a bigger bed, but I would try.
06:49I love this.
06:50This is adorable.
06:54Ooh, yeah.
06:56That's a nice view.
06:58So pretty.
06:59Cute church there.
07:00Peaceful.
07:01It's a little quiet out here.
07:02I think if I'm going to be building my life and maybe, you know, meeting some people,
07:06I might need to be a little bit closer to civilization.
07:10I agree with her on that.
07:11And I think she does need to be near men.
07:15That's my matchmaker right there.
07:17He's going to make sure I find one.
07:28There's no way.
07:30I mean, come on.
07:46The shower is not a bad size.
07:50This is, I mean...
07:50Can you sit on the toilet without feeling...
07:52Look, I can't...
07:54I can't.
07:55Mm-hmm.
08:00So, now is the moment of truth.
08:02Give it to Ms. Rey.
08:03So, I loved the windows.
08:05I loved the outdoor living space.
08:07It was really beautiful.
08:08And the view, incredible.
08:09Yeah.
08:10The bathrooms were a bit small.
08:11So, having seen this, does this change anything moving forward?
08:15Yeah.
08:15I think I've seen what the low end of my budget can get.
08:18And I'm not knocking it at all.
08:19This is a beautiful home.
08:20But I think for the modern style I want, and maybe a little bit more space,
08:25I probably have to go to the higher end of my budget.
08:27All right.
08:27Fair enough.
08:28Okay.
08:28Let's have a look.
08:29Let's do it.
08:29Yeah.
08:30The bathrooms may have been just too small for six foot tall Anna.
08:35Upping her budget will, however, give Dion a wider selection of larger homes to show
08:40her.
08:41Time for a sundowner in style.
08:43Usually, I'm a tequila girl, but we're in Crete, so we should have raki, yeah.
08:48Sounds good.
08:48Do you want to try it?
08:49Yeah, let's try it.
08:50Perfect.
08:54Your new life now, Anna.
08:56Enjoy it.
08:58To Crete.
08:59To your new life.
09:00Llamas.
09:01Llamas.
09:03Llamas.
09:04It's really nice.
09:05Wow.
09:06Very good.
09:07Exactly what we needed.
09:08Yeah, yeah.
09:15It's a new morning and a brand new day of house hunting on Crete.
09:19So, where do we have it?
09:21All right.
09:21We are going now to a special village, much bigger than yesterday.
09:27So, tell me a little bit.
09:29You're now here for a little while.
09:31It's getting real.
09:32Yeah.
09:33So, this process of finding a home to purchase and actually do it.
09:39Yeah.
09:39It's really overwhelming.
09:40I really feel in my heart that this is home and it's time for me to, you know, set my
09:47roots
09:47and get building.
09:49Absolutely.
09:49Yeah.
09:49It's a choice, right?
09:51It's a good choice.
09:52Next stop, covering just over nine and a half square miles, the largest village on Crete,
09:58Kritza.
10:00It's just six miles west of the coast.
10:03House prices here are cheaper than the island's beachside homes, but a little higher than villages
10:08further inland.
10:09I know this lovely spot down here.
10:12There's some music sometimes.
10:13Okay.
10:14Yeah.
10:14This is awesome.
10:15It kind of reminds me of Nashville.
10:16There's music everywhere.
10:17Is that rope again foam square?
10:27Yeah.
10:31No water, Theia, the line of Boulder.
10:36This is exactly what I pictured when I thought of moving to a Greek Island.
10:40I love this little street.
10:42The church is right there.
10:44Yep, here we are.
10:45Oh, my gosh.
10:46Is it this whole building?
10:48It is the whole thing.
10:49And have a look at the view.
10:51Come on.
10:51Gorgeous, right?
10:52That's stunning.
10:53Yeah.
10:53If you feel like I have to get out tonight,
10:55it's only 15 minutes away from Ayos.
10:57The price is $214,000.
11:00That price is insane.
11:02I can't wait to go see it.
11:03All right.
11:04Built in 2008, this 700-square-foot modern village house
11:09is within walking distance of all the essentials.
11:12Something of a similar size in Nashville
11:15could cost between $400,000 and $700,000.
11:19Oh, my gosh.
11:20This is, like, really spacious, actually.
11:23This is cute.
11:24It's so cute.
11:25And it is spacious.
11:26I love that I'm just, like, standing here in my kitchen,
11:28and I can see that view.
11:30We have a view outside.
11:31Yeah, this is insane.
11:34This modern village house
11:36has an open-plan living room and kitchen.
11:39Two bedrooms, a bathroom, and two terraces.
11:51Oh, my gosh.
11:53This is so cute.
11:54That is nice.
11:56I...
11:56All right.
11:56Is this the primary?
11:57I don't know.
11:59Maybe it is, yeah.
11:59But that's insane.
12:01I mean, just having that view is...
12:02Waking up and seeing that view.
12:04Yeah.
12:06Oh, this is really cute, too.
12:07They're very similar.
12:09I like that they both have this view.
12:10I mean, that's just unreal.
12:12So, that might be my guest room, a.k.a. your room.
12:16Exactly, yeah.
12:17But...
12:17Let's look around.
12:19Oh, my gosh.
12:20This is a view.
12:22This is...
12:23The view is spot on.
12:24You can see the church.
12:25I'm obsessed with that church.
12:27You can see the sea, all the mountains.
12:29That's one of my favorite things about Crete.
12:30It's all the mountains.
12:31Also, you can see the olive trees.
12:33Maybe you find some farmers or hot men working.
12:36Maybe.
12:38And I guess when you come visit, once I decide I'm ready to talk to you, we can just meet
12:41out here.
12:43I'm fine by me.
12:44I don't mind.
12:44This is insane.
12:46It's a beautiful home.
12:47The one thing I'm looking for in a bathroom, if it's possible, and it has been really hard
12:51in Greece, is to find a bathtub.
12:53And it can't just be any bathtub because I'm six feet tall.
12:56It's not like a need, but it would be really, really nice.
13:01Oh, my gosh.
13:04That's awesome.
13:05I really like this.
13:07This is good.
13:08I think this is the selling point of the house.
13:12I think I might actually really like this property.
13:14I don't know.
13:14I didn't expect this.
13:17This pretty much nailed it.
13:19Yeah.
13:20When moving to a new country, speaking the language goes a long way.
13:24Do you hear that?
13:26There's a guy selling fruit.
13:27Oh, my gosh.
13:28Hi.
13:30Yes, sirs.
13:31Are you going to buy some?
13:32I think so.
13:33I think I have two, yeah?
13:38Yes, sirs.
13:43How many are you going to get?
13:45I'm sure you have two.
13:46I don't need that many.
13:46Okay.
13:47That looks good, yeah.
13:48Yeah.
13:50Yeah.
13:50What is it?
13:51I think it's too good.
13:52Yeah, it's too good.
13:54That was fun.
13:55That was fun.
13:56Impromptu.
13:57Love it.
13:57Who needs a supermarket when you got a man and a van?
14:02So, guys, what do you think?
14:03I'm honestly really impressed.
14:05Yeah?
14:05It's a lot of my boxes for sure.
14:07There's more space.
14:08I like the layout of it a lot better.
14:10Obviously, you killed it with the jacuzzi.
14:12All right.
14:13So, let's talk budget.
14:14The asking price is $214,000.
14:17That's an incredible price.
14:19Your budget is $200?
14:20Yeah.
14:20Look, budget-wise, we're very close.
14:22Yeah.
14:23I feel we can even get there fully in budget.
14:26We're going to give it a try.
14:27Okay.
14:27Let's talk strategy after we've seen all the properties.
14:29Okay.
14:30And then we'll see how we can use all of that and have this conversation with the seller.
14:33Yeah.
14:34That sounds great.
14:37In Crete, there's something for all budgets.
14:40From whitewashed cottages to five-star splendor.
14:44Driven by foreign investment and a new infrastructure,
14:47the property market is booming and is predicted to keep rising.
14:53A cat.
14:54That's cute.
14:55Yeah, you're going to see a lot of cats, I guess.
14:57Yeah.
14:58A lot of cats.
14:59You know the little yayas that walk around with the bags of food?
15:02That's going to be me.
15:03Exactly.
15:03Except I'm 30 years old.
15:05Next stop, the upscale town of Elunda, the Beverly Hills of Crete.
15:11Eleven miles north of Kritza, this is where Greeks come to spend their money.
15:17It's aspirational.
15:18And for Dion, a chance to show Anna how much bang she can get for a bit more buck.
15:25So we're in Elunda now.
15:26Gorgeous village, as you can see.
15:28And now we are really in a high-end village with stunning views.
15:31Yeah.
15:32All right.
15:33So here we are.
15:34To get everything on your wish list, we have to really maximize a little bit the budget that
15:38you gave me.
15:39And it has a bath.
15:42So just hold that for one second because the price is $342,000.
15:48Okay.
15:49All right.
15:50When I think about what I could get in Tennessee for $342,000 versus this view.
15:56I mean, just the drive up was amazing.
15:57We'll see.
15:58Yeah.
15:58We'll see if it's worth it.
15:59All right.
16:00Let's have a look.
16:01Okay.
16:03This 1290 square foot wildcard home is just moments from the beach.
16:08Being in the center of a bustling community, all essentials are on the doorstep.
16:13A house of similar size in Nashville could cost between $600,000 and $700,000 U.S. dollars.
16:21Oh, wow.
16:22Oh.
16:23This is so cute.
16:24And look, it's like...
16:25Another arch.
16:26Yeah, yeah.
16:26It's like the house of No Fayas.
16:28Yeah.
16:28But I love this.
16:29Like, ugh.
16:30This one feels a little bit more modern than that one.
16:33I think it's because there's more space here and more separation between the kitchen and
16:38the dining area, which I'm obsessed with.
16:40Yeah.
16:44Okay.
16:45I like this little built-in right here.
16:47Oh.
16:51It's a...
16:52I mean...
16:53Do you think this is the primary?
16:55Yeah.
16:55Do you think this is supposed to be my room?
16:59Okay.
16:59Do you want to try it?
17:00I think I do.
17:02I mean, there's a cute little comfy hole, but I think, um...
17:07Oh, you do actually fit.
17:11Oh, my God.
17:12It's a little tight.
17:13I don't know that I can really...
17:14I can't do it.
17:14It's a bit high, too.
17:16So, if I wanted to, like, I don't know, stretch in the morning...
17:22No, so maybe this isn't the primary room.
17:24Maybe this is for the kids.
17:27I don't know.
17:27Yeah, the kids.
17:27My niece and nephew.
17:28Yeah, okay.
17:29Okay, yeah.
17:31This charming village house has a kitchen diner, living room, two bathrooms, and three bedrooms across two floors.
17:45This is so cute.
17:49Downstairs is definitely not the primary.
17:51Yeah.
17:52This is so open.
17:54Yeah, maybe this is the primary.
17:55Yeah, I would think so.
17:56You're definitely not getting this room, babe.
17:58It's cute.
17:58It's cozy, but it's open, and the windows, and...
18:01It's very nice.
18:03I mean...
18:03Don't hate that view.
18:05Found the bathroom.
18:06Oh.
18:07There's the bath I asked for.
18:08Oh, okay.
18:10It looks long.
18:11I kind of want to test it out and see if I can fit in there.
18:13Do it.
18:13Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
18:17Oh!
18:18You know?
18:20I think...
18:21I think I may...
18:22Oh!
18:25I think I prefer the jacuzzi.
18:27Yeah.
18:27Yeah.
18:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:29This would be good for the kids, though.
18:31The main selling point of this beautiful home is the spectacular terrace.
18:37Can you imagine waking up to that every day?
18:38Amazing.
18:39It's so beautiful.
18:40Yeah, I guess there's a lot to think about.
18:42Yeah.
18:44Yeah.
18:52All right.
18:53So, what do we think?
18:55It's a beautiful house.
18:57It really is.
18:57It's got a lot of charm to it.
18:59It's very whimsical.
19:00I get it.
19:00I get why it's the price it is.
19:02Like, I did not want to walk outside.
19:04I'd wanted to leave you here and just sit and look at the view for the rest of the day.
19:07Yeah.
19:07The view is stunning.
19:09It's amazing.
19:10Yeah.
19:10So, we've looked at three properties in three different price categories.
19:14So, you really can make a well-informed decision.
19:16Yeah.
19:17You've given me a lot to think about.
19:18I'm overwhelmed.
19:19I couldn't have asked for a better, hard decision to make.
19:30So, I think we have some decisions to make.
19:34We have some decisions to make.
19:37Well, it's about my bedroom, too, you know.
19:39Okay.
19:40Whatever you say.
19:41Okay.
19:42Let's talk about the property in No Fallas.
19:45Yes.
19:45The bathrooms are just a no-go for me.
19:47Like, I'm having flashbacks as we speak.
19:49Also, it was a little dark.
19:51It was dark.
19:52Yeah.
19:52I think that one's a no for me.
19:53Okay.
19:54Then, what about the one we saw now?
19:58The luxury one.
19:59Yeah.
20:00I mean, it was fabulous.
20:01It is a lovely home, but I think it makes more of a vacation home rather than a home home.
20:05Okay.
20:05Well, that leaves us the one in Kritsa.
20:08Absolutely love the home in Kritsa.
20:10I mean, it just, it felt like a home and it felt like I would have to do a lot
20:12of work for
20:13it.
20:13That jacuzzi.
20:15Yeah.
20:16That was chef's kiss.
20:18It was just beautiful.
20:20And I loved the village as well.
20:21I would bring a little Tennessee here and I would put some rocking chairs out front.
20:25So, I think that would be cute and it would be...
20:27So American.
20:29What do you want from me?
20:39So, I mean, what do you want from me?
20:43The house in Kritsa checked so many boxes, but ultimately because I love to cook, the
20:49kitchen just wasn't big enough for me.
20:50My forever home has to be just right.
20:53And I didn't feel that 100% in that house.
20:56I found a perfect long-term rental.
20:59I'm absolutely loving my life here.
21:01Okay.
21:02So this is my house.
21:04This is my living room.
21:06Here's my kitchen.
21:08This is my bedroom.
21:11And the best part is I have a guest room for Andreas.
21:14I also stay pretty busy feeding the logo of cats.
21:18I think I have like 10 babies now.
21:21Yeah.
21:24So the search for my perfect home continues and my perfect man.
