Why choose Costa Rica?

If you live in USA, Canada or Europe, you know that real state prices for vacation homes have increased to a point that most people can not afford them in their own countries. Even if you can afford to buy property itself, the recurring costs such as taxes, maintenance and utilities makes it unrealistic. Fortunately there are many places on earth to choose from when it comes to buying properties that are still affordable.

The baby-boomers generation (60 million strong) is starting to retire, and many are looking for better quality of life. That means that even though you can still find properties at a fraction of what you would pay at home, the available supply will quickly shrink as more and more baby boomers start competing for the available supply. The good news is that you can still find properties in Costa Rica below $100,000. However this may no longer be the case within a year or two. The sooner you start the better chance you have of realizing your dream.

Buying a property is a very personal decision involving many factors and criteria. Your priorities may be quite different from another person’s priorities. Having said that, there are some common things that every consumer should consider when buying real state outside of their homeland. Here is a top 10 list of why Costa Rica makes sense.

• Climate/Weather
• Affordable
• Cost of living
• Healthy lifestyle – Pura Vida
• Living standards and economic stability

• Natural beauty/Spectacular ecosystem

• Politically stable

• Favorable Tax system

• Friendly and outgoing people
• Centrally located and close to home
