Homes in Ecuador under $100K

Under $100,000 in Ecuador is deep and real. Full colonial homes in Cuenca's outer neighborhoods, two-bed apartments in Quito's middle-class areas (La Floresta, González Suárez fringes), beach condos in Salinas and Manta, and rural properties in the Vilcabamba valley. Ecuador uses the US dollar as official currency — no exchange rate risk for American buyers. Cuenca in particular has been ranked the world's top retirement destination multiple times by International Living, with an entrenched American expat community (~10,000+ residents). Expect concrete construction, tile floors, and the gentle 55-75°F Andean climate that needs no heating or cooling.
