You have fallen in love with Costa Rica, and whether it’s a vacation property or full time living you are interested in purchasing your own property in Costa Rica.

The worldwide economy is flat and there must be some great deals in Costa Rica real estate right?

You are correct!

There are currently excellent values throughout the country, but how can you understand what is indeed is a good value?

You might have heard about or seen advertisements online where a home or condo has been reduced substantially in price, but how do you know if that is a good value versus an inflated price?

Let’s get to the point. Many people want to experience that special feeling of finding some hidden gem, a property at an unbelievable price, some spectacular opportunity all on their own, but I’m here to tell you it’s a mistake, in fact it’s one of the biggest mistakes we see in Costa Rica.

There is no official MLS in Costa Rica, so without the help of a knowledgeable and reputable Realtor you simply won’t be able to find the detailed information and insight that you need to assess properties in Costa Rica.

Comparable properties, sold properties, replacement values, land values, rental figures, market analysis, all of this knowledge is what you need to truly assess a property in Costa Rica.

In fact many sellers in Costa Rica are just as informed and misguided on the value of their own property which just adds to the confusion that much more.

Unfortunately in Costa Rica not all Realtors are equal, so you will need someone sharp and professional. The small, select and reference checked WeLoveCostaRica network of Recommended Realtors is a great place to start, what’s key is you work with someone who is capable of educating you on the market so you can truly understand values.

In the end you’ll still be able to find a great value in Costa Rica, but you be guided right so you can truly make a smart decision.
