costa rica real estate

Ask most anyone the three most important criteria for purchasing a specific piece of real estate and they will reply ‘location, location, location’. The concept is useful in deciding what country to invest in, as well.

The decision to purchase property in Costa Rica is strongly supported by this premise, and there are several location-based reasons to purchase here. Perhaps the most obvious is the physical location itself and all that it encompasses: beaches, mountains, sun, and practically perfect weather. Secondary to these items comes the experiences available here: the culture, the people, the history, the language.

Many people choose to invest in Costa Rica because of monetary reasons. Those looking to reside here point to the low cost of living, how far their dollar will go toward satisfying their needs. When one’s needs are taken care of, the remaining funds comprise their disposable income which may be used to purchase wants and desires or to invest. Those wishing to invest here point to the weakening U.S. housing market, its ever-broadening effects on the U.S. economy as a whole, and their desire to find an alternative market unencumbered by these woes. Costa Rica is the location where these conditions exist.

Perhaps the most compelling of the reasons to purchase real estate in Costa Rica is lifestyle enhancement, a hybrid of the above reasons. When you combine sun, surf, friendly people, an exciting environment, low cost of living, and investment opportunities the result is an enhanced lifestyle for less money; ‘More Bang For The Buck’. Who wouldn’t be interested in decreasing the amount of money they spend while simultaneously improving their diet, accommodations, spending power, and the service they receive?

Those interested in investing in Costa Rica real estate, but not residing here still have the opportunity to reap the rewards of improved lifestyle. Income from owning investment property in such a lucrative market is often substantial enough to make a significant improvement in lifestyle at home and allow for travel to Costa Rica. Ownership of condo-hotels and similar arrangements allows for use of the unit whenever desired, and income for the rest of the year, when escape from the rat race is impossible.
