Real estate in Costa Rica is booming


Real estate in Costa Rica is booming, especially in the Playa Tambor area. Whether it be raw land for development, a beachfront villa or condominium, a mountain lot to build your dream on, an existing home to be used as a vacation getaway or a place to call home, properties in Costa Rica especially in beach areas like Playa Tambor are in high demand.
While some of the reasons behind this increasing surge of foreign investment are the country’s political stability, favorable tax structures and affordable land prices, it’s the natural beauty, the ambiance and the slower lifestyle areas like Playa Tambor have to offer that is gaining more and more attention worldwide.
The Costa Rican Government has an open arms policy towards foreign investors offering the potential investor clear title with streamlined registrations, S.A. Corporations designed specifically to hold properties for non nationals and comparatively low property and income taxes.
People that are coming into retirement age from around the world are facing fixed yearly incomes with ever increasing medical and living costs. You’ve worked hard all your life and prepared for retirement only to find yourself on the backside of a curve that for many is unmanageable. Costa Rica offers the same high standards and quality of living you can find elsewhere at affordable prices.
Costa Rica has some of the best medical care in the Americas. Along with their social health care system, hospitals like “Cima” in San Jose offer the newest and most technologically advanced equipment along with experienced and highly trained physicians at a fraction of the cost you can find elsewhere.
Costa Rica has gained considerable ground in recent years with respect to improving its already high standard of living through continuing effort towards upgrading their infrastructure to include telecommunications with cellular telephone and high speed internet now being in place throughout the country.
Once you’ve seen for yourself the unsurpassed natural beauty and experienced the simplified lifestyle we call Costa Rica, you would be hard pressed to find a better place to live or retire and to protect or even expand your portfolio while living in a free and wholesome environment.
