Hello. My wife and I just came back from our honeymoon in Bali and completely fell in love with the island. We're both thinking about buying a small apartment there, both as an investment and as an excuse to come back every year. But we know that holiday emotions are not the best basis for financial decisions. We're both in our early thirties, with stable jobs in Toronto and some savings set aside. Neither of us has bought property abroad before. How would you approach this calmly, and where would you start if you're seriously considering it?

Recognizing the holiday glow is already half the job, I went through exactly the same thing. My approach was to slow everything down. I started by requesting the catalog from Avalon and scheduling an online meeting, without booking anything. At home we went through the numbers: entry prices start from about 84,900 dollars, payment plans start with 30% down and interest-free installments, and the projects complete in 2028, so it's a long commitment. We read their articles for beginners and on prices in 2026, then compared with other developers. Before signing anything, we hired an independent lawyer to review the memorandum and lease terms. Only after a few months of thinking did we book a unit. If you still want it three months later, that's a good sign it's not just the honeymoon talking.
