As always, I keep looking for nice and easy ways to help you with your relocation to Costa Rica (or convince you to do so). A lot of people move to Costa Rica for business or just stay for a while and just sell everything when they leave, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING, and I have even found houses for sale in Costa Rica in small ads placed on supermarket boards.
People will sell nice furniture, most of the times they even have the receipt and the warranty is still good. Land sales are a little more delicate, yet it is possible to find nice deals if the property is in for sale by owner, in Costa Rica properties you can find anything for small studio apartments to huge farms.
Normal items found on garage sales are bedroom sets, TV sets, kitchen ware, garden furniture, living room items and such. And these sales are everywhere from Guanacaste to Monteverde or San Jose. When I first got here I had nothing, on my first days in Costa Rica, I browsed some garage sales and I got a few interesting items like a dinning room table, a grill, a coffee table and kitchen ware. My current home I found through a company dedicated to real estate for sale in Costa Rica and I got a pretty good deal, although I have seem some interesting ads for other types of properties I have become interested in. Just the other day I found hotels for sale in Costa Rica! There is money right there.
Farms for sale in Costa Rica: The most interesting ones are always in Guanacaste, I have found about that through experience. The main reason is because since Liberia is becoming such a well organized city, land owners sell their farms not only for agriculture, but also to be used as housing projects. Also, business are expanding quite fast on the area, meaning that finding a nice farm for sale in Guanacaste is a very profitable business and a more relaxed way to live.
If you are moving to Costa Rica, make sure you check as many deals as you can: from furniture to finding the best properties for sale. In Costa Rica you can definitely live well but being wise can help you live better
