Costa Rica Real Estate Investment Properties for Sale

World renowned for its pristine beaches and lush habitat, real estate in Costa Rica has become increasingly popular for homebuyers and investors due to its stability and friendly foreign ownership policies (fee simple). Propelled by a decade of robust tourism growth, real estate demand and prices have climbed steadily, but are still at a significant discount to those offered in other beautiful, politically stable countries around the world, like the United States and the Caribbean.

Costa Rica is often called the "Switzerland of the Americas," largely due to its stable government, which abolished the army in 1948. This helped pave the way for Costa Rica's current desirable investment status that it boasts today, as the government allocated would-be military dollars towards education, infrastructure and health care. Today, Costa Rica has one of the highest literacy rates in the Americas and the best infrastructure of any Central American or Caribbean country. Furthermore, Costa Rica’s enlightened approach towards conservation, with over 25% of the country’s landscape proclaimed as national wildlife reserve (the highest in the world on a percentage basis), provides the framework for generations to come and enjoy this Tropical Paradise.
