Browse through our listings of Panama City Panama condos for sale, and contact us with any questions. The Panama City skyline is defined by the variety and the scope of the offering of condos for sale in Panama. Like most large cities, Panama City, Panama has developed vertically as opposed to horizontally, meaning that if one is thinking about living in the urban centre of the city, in all likelihood the search will be for Panama condos for sale. Trying to choose from the many condos for sale in Panama, one has to consider a variety of options including the location, quality, and overall cost of the condo (not just the purchase price).

A widely held idea for those doing their research on the internet is that the average price of a condo for sale in Panama is drastically cheaper than a similar condo for sale in other parts of the world, but this isn’t necessarily true. For example, compared to a city like Sao Paolo, London, or New York, the cost of a Panama condo will, of course, be significantly less, however for cities like Miami, Medellin, or Phoenix on the surface the pricing may not appear to be any great value.Focusing on strictly the city center of Panama, one can generally expect the price of a condo for sale in Panama City Panama that is between one and five years old to run anywhere from $1,100 per square meter all the way up to as much as $3,000 per square meter and in a few cases even higher. This equates to roughly $100-280 per square foot. With condos for sale in other markets going for half that much, Panama City condo pricing may not appear to be the bargain that it’s purported to be.

However, one has to consider the overall cost of condo ownership when trying to determine total value, meaning factors like property tax, building administration, and cost of labor for general maintenance as important considerations on the overall cost of owning a condo in Panama. All of the condos for sale in Panama that have been completed in the last six years have the benefit of a 20-year property tax exoneration that is 100% transferrable. That means that if an owner sells a condo to a new buyer and that condo is four years old, then the new buyer will have a 16 year Panama property tax exoneration that is associated with that specific condo for sale. This represents a significant saving when compared to other condos for sale in other parts of the world.

Panama Condos for Sale: Advice

If you are investigating buying a condo in Panama that has not been completed yet, it is important to do your research on the developer. There are some very old and established developers in Panama and there are also new foreign developers, some of whom are just getting started in Panama. 

If you are interested in a Panama condo for sale that has not been completed yet and is being promoted by a new developer, try to get a sense of how well funded the project is. Ask questions like “what percentage of the condos have been pre-sold?” and “Is there bank financing involved?”

Views are also a very important factor to consider when investigating condos for sale. Typically, the higher the floor, the more expensive the condo is. Views, however, can be short-lived in Panama because there are a handful of developers who cannibalize the views of past projects to build newer, more directly facing ocean view Panama condos for sale. Make sure that there are no plans to build in front of the apartment you are investigating, and more importantly, no space to build.
