Real Estate Investment Market Update For The First Six Months of 2013 in Guanacaste.
We had an amazing first six months of 2013, closing more transactions than we did in all of 2012 combined.
I contribute this to a couple factors. The continued fiscal concerns of the world economy are driving a lot of investors to move their money outside their home countries, and Costa Rica is one of the top on the list.
The Liberia International airport is receiving more flights than ever after its $18 million expansion last year; the new CIMA Hospital is now officially open for Medical Tourism; and there are some major developments that have started construction after a 4 year hiatus.
The new Melia Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort broke ground a couple of days ago and really has the area buzzing. It is located on the peninsula that separates Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama, just a couple kilometers from most of the residential homes and condos that are for sale.
Also the Hyatt Andaz Hotel will be opening Christmas of this year, located just next to the Papagayo Marina in the Bahia Culebra Bay.
The Enjoy Group Hotel, owners of the Hilton Papagayo, has started construction on a new 86 room boutique hotel right on the beach in Playa Panama. Plus, there are 3 more large developments that I know of that will be making huge announcements in the following months.
Whenever a new hotel breaks ground, the real estate community feels a push. Everyone realizes that as these hotels get completed and open for business, it will just mean that many more travelers and potential investors coming to the area. And like most of us, once you see Guanacaste Costa Rica, you will want a piece of paradise too.
As these hotels start their marketing campaigns, in travel and airline magazines, internet and television, more and more people will be exposed to the Pura Vida lifestyle we are so lucky to enjoy.
So if you are on the fence about investing in Costa Rica, I would encourage you to get moving. Before you know it, the good deals will be gone and you will find yourself negotiating with a seller who is not very motivated.
Just in the last month, I have had seven of my listings RAISE their prices with the announcement of all this new development. Thanks, take care, PURA VIDA.
