Real Estate in Costa Rica

Amor de Mar Hotel in Montezuma, Costa Rica

There has been a huge migration of people from the U.S., Canada, and Europe to Costa Rica, with the momentum building every year. Thousands of people have discovered that Costa Rica is more beautiful, more fun, cheaper, and safer than their own country, and have decided to move or invest, many with the idea of eventually resettling here.

According to the Costa Rican tourist board, one in three tourists who is visiting Costa Rica for the second time is interested in real estate. With over three million visitors per year, that's a million interested investors! All this interest has sent prices soaring, with no end in sight. Most of us here who are familiar with the market believe that within a few more years, the prices will match those in Maui, so an ocean view acre will be a million dollars or more.

Montezuma and Malpais, well-known beach towns in Costa Rica, are seeing rapid growth in new residents and home construction. Especially in the Malpais/Santa Teresa area, it seems like there's a new restaurant or hotel every week! In the Montezuma area, most of the buyers are conservation oriented, interested in holistic living. Many successful artists and creative type people have been buying lots, planning to build a second home and eventually move down when they can afford it. Many are helping to regrow the jungle by planting endangered hardwood tree seedlings. In many ways, the Montezuma area is an environmentalist's success story, because there's more jungle and more animals than there was ten years ago.
