Over the past year the inventory of quality homes in Atenas has gone from plentiful to almost nonexistent. Local builders and developers have been scrambling to create inventory, but this takes time.

Around the world, in big cities especially, it is common place for builders and developers to build model homes or apartments for their current projects making pre-sales easy for both the developer/seller and the buyer.

In Atenas we don’t have the luxury of model units and generally speaking most builders do not like to offer pre-sales on their homes because many buyers don’t have the vision to “see” the finished product. However, the high demand for quality housing in Atenas, especially for new construction has made most builders think twice.

There are many advantages to purchasing your new home while it is in the process of being built. In Atenas, as is the case with many large development projects world wide, when you purchase pre-construction the buyer has the option to customize and upgrade many details of their new home which is not an option with an existing home unless you undertake a major remodel.

Once the buyer and seller enters into an official sales contract with a non-refundable escrow, most builders will allow the buyers to customize and upgrade the details and finishes of their new home. We have done this several times with buyers and sellers and it has been a very positive experience.

Another advantage to purchasing pre-construction or before the construction has been completed is that builders are typically more negotiable on price. A quick sale means that the builder has minimized their holding costs and can continue on to a new project. This quickly becomes a win/win transaction because both parties are getting exactly what they want and the buyer can potentially save thousands of dollars.

They have just as many years experience in construction here in Costa Rica. If you are thinking of purchasing in Atenas, consider one of these beautiful new options. As your agents, we will be with you every step of the way, assuring that you get exactly what you want. Come live your dreams in Atenas, Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
