Real Estate Gems in Costa Rica
A wonderful, peaceful and stable county with vast richness and beauty is your Costa Rica where you can enjoy life to the full! To get a successful real estate transaction in this world known destination for vacation, investment or retirement is not as big a problem as is finding the real gem from amongst the large estates available. With prices of decent homes starting here at $50,000 and financing available for residents, this option might be even cheaper than buying a house in US or Canada. At the same time, the Constitution gives the same rights with regard to ownership of property to foreigners as to their local residents.
The real estate inventory includes the Costa Rica beach properties, condos, upscale residential homes for sale, investment real estate, farms, mountain properties and vacation rentals. A typical beachfront property might make a big hole in your pocket due to its increasing popularity, but you can settle for a cheaper beach property at Guanacaste areas like Jungquillal, Tamarindo or Flamingo. Similarly tempting are the areas around the Central Valley like Puntarenas, Manuel Antonio and the Dominical. Costa Rica real estate is VERY diverse!
On the other hand the Central Pacific area is a very potential spot because of its proximity to the Central Valley areas and San Jose. Also the property values here are rocketing sky high due to addition of the new Villa Colon-Orotina highway. Another good investment pocket is the real estates available in Central Valley like in Escazu, Santa Ana, Rohrmoser, Sabana, Moravia and Montes de Oca which combine the benefits of West and East San Jose. Locations like la Garita and la Guacima situated in the provinces of Heredia and Alajuela are very appealing for their good facilities, nice neighborhood, wonderful weather, farms and homes.
Keeping in mind the benefits like no capital gains tax, very low yearly estate taxes, the wonderful weather and above all the booming market, this is one hot destination for any foreigner!
