Asking price for property in Bocagrande Here is what changes in this sector and what to have ready before going to market.
Setting the asking figure is your decision, taken after the technical valuation exercise and separate from it. This is where a reference range becomes a number, and factors no study can settle for you come into play: how much hurry you are in, how much room you want to keep for negotiation, what happens if the property does not sell within the window you imagined, and what your real alternative is, including renting it out or waiting. Look not only at what comparable properties are asking but at what has actually closed, since published figures usually sit above reality. The costliest mistake is opening high just to test the water: the property wears out among the people who already saw it, and later corrections read as a signal of urgency. It also pays to decide in advance under what circumstances you would adjust and on what evidence, such as the volume of visits and the pattern of feedback. No one can assure you that a given figure will be reached: the market decides. Dimare Collection contributes the demand reading so you choose with better information.
What Bocagrande is, and what changes there
Bocagrande works like a mature resale market, with consequences that do not repeat up north. The counterparty is almost never a builder: it is a long-standing owner or, very often, an unsettled sucesión, an estate proceeding, whose heirs live in different countries, so closing depends not on one power of attorney but on several, and on the partition among them. The registry record is old too: it was opened when the building was submitted to the condominium regime, it carries legacy entries such as cancelled mortgages, patrimonio de familia and afectación a vivienda familiar, both family-home protections, or lifted attachments, and the recorded area does not always match a current survey, so you compare the registry record against the deed and against the unit's floor plan. The peninsula is also land reclaimed from the sea under subdivisions the District authorized in their day, and the oldest deeds still carry references to those parcelaciones, the original platting. Day-to-day power sits with the owners' assembly and its manager, so in a tower with a long record of decisions the minutes and the status of the condominium's lawsuits matter more than the brochure.

Colombian living abroad
This is the case apart. You need no visa and no cédula de extranjerÃa, because your document is the Colombian cédula, and that is exactly what gets neglected: check that the cédula is current and that its details match the registry, because an unrecorded change of marital status or surname stops the deed. The money, though, does come from abroad, so the transfer enters through the regulated exchange market with its declaración de cambio like anyone else's, and if you are not a Colombian tax resident that inflow may have to be registered as foreign investment with the Banco de la República: they are who to ask whether your particular case requires it. What really changes is how you file. Tax residence is not chosen, it is determined by rules, and not being a Colombian tax resident alters what is withheld from you and what you report to the DIAN, both on rent and on sale. For signing from abroad, the Colombian consulate where you live grants the poder. And the tax question is whether a treaty exists between Colombia and the country where you live and what it says about rental income and about ganancia ocasional, with an accountant in each country.
