Whenever you are planning on investing on any real estate market there are certain things you should consider, including good research. In Costa Rica, real estate opportunities are everywhere and anywhere. Depending on what type of location you are location you are looking for whether it is a small town home or a beach condo, Costa Rica has something for every taste.
The availability for real estate in Costa Rica increases everyday and there is something for every budget; small town houses, apartments, villas, penthouses and much more. In my case, I own a nice villa in the Guanacaste area. This location gives me the possibility to drive to most beaches, some natural reservations and is only 45 minutes away from the Daniel Oduber airport in Liberia. If I had a dime for every time someone has contacted me to see if I rent it…this place is magnificent and I have absolutely no regrets about moving here. The peace and relaxation I get just from breathing the clean air every day is just priceless. It is also very common to find land for sale in Costa Rica and I have been planning on investing on a few square meters closer to the ocean, make a nice housing project and earn myself a few bucks.
In Costa Rica, real estate for sale can be found either through a real estate agency (which is easier) or just driving around the location you are interested in and look for properties sold by the owners themselves, cutting the middlemen from the deal (which is cheaper). The most expensive properties in Costa Rica are mostly near the beaches and close to highly developed areas such as Escazu and Santa Ana in San Jose. Another place that has become a favorite in real estate listings in Costa Rica is the Heredia mountain side like Monte de la Cruz, or even San Jose de la Montaña where the views area so stunning, people are going crazy for it. Costa Rica real estate is getting bigger, so I would say that this is the time for you to look for a nice Costa Rica home at a reasonable price, before prices skyrocket.
To get the best information, always try to find people that have gone ahead and tried to relocate in Costa Rica, talk to different real estate agencies and make a list of exactly what you are looking for, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a nice Costa Rica property to enjoy.
