Costa Rica doesn’t provide any national statistics detailing property values and shifts, but it’s nonetheless clear that the luxury housing market at least is booming. At a time when low-end properties seem to be shedding their value quite relentlessly, the upper-end of the market is enjoying an altogether more encouraging period of growth. The Pacific Coast is unsurprisingly where you’ll find the properties in highest demand of all, both for resale purposes and vacation rentals. That being said, head into the major metropolitan centres of San José or Alajuela and growth continues at a similar rate. International property investment is big business in Costa Rica and to some extent has been a primary driver of property values over recent years – something market experts don’t see tapering off anytime soon.
