Guanacaste, Costa Rica (PRWEB) April 2, 2008
More and more Americans seeking an affordable piece of paradise are looking to Costa Rica and Developing Paradise S. A. can now fulfill that dream. The company is selling developed land with roads and utilities for less than ,000 per acre on the Gulf of Nicoya, just ten minutes off the Pan American Highway. Costa Rica is known for its exotic animals and tropical landscapes, but acquiring Costa Rica land is the main reason investors are now looking south to build that second home.
Due to the dramatic increase in appreciation of coastal properties around the world, the land available within the hundreds of miles of coastline in Costa Rica is being bought up quickly. Coupled with the fact that traveling to Costa Rica is only a two-hour flight from Southern United States, more and more investors and retirees are visiting in search of beautiful and profitable investment property.
Not only is the country extremely diverse and breathtaking but also the Costa Rica real estate for sale and development costs are remarkably lower than in the United States. With the US housing and economy faltering, the excellent return on investments make Costa Rica land for sale an attractive buy. Last year, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book ranked Costa Rica as one of five countries that stands “head and shoulders above all other nations worldwide in terms of the potential their real estate markets present property investors.”
Even considering the downturn of U.S. real estate market, a typical 1-acre lot of Costa Rica property is available from Developing Paradise S.A. at about 60-80% less than comparables in North America. Raw land being developed in Costa Rica can triple its value in as little as five years. In addition, to encourage development and investor interest, the Costa Rica government has reduced the amount of “red tape” necessary to acquire and develop land, and actually provides incentives to solicit foreign investment.
Miguel Tapia, finance director of the Costa Rica Construction Chamber says, “Beach tourism development has brought along with it a series of additional developments, such as construction of banks, commercial centers, storage rooms and other services. The construction industry has been struggling to find enough labor to keep up with growth.”
A recent issue of the Costa Rica Journal stated, “The Costa Rica cost of living provides another incentive for investors and especially retirees. At ,000/month of income an individual can live very comfortably, and the tax consequences for owning property have remained very low.” The country has most technology and medical advances that North Americans see daily, plus the quality of life is also at the standards accustomed to.
When Compared to the nearby countries of Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua over the last ten years, Costa Rica has proven a better country for purchasing land, building a second home and gaining consistent appreciation. All facts considered, Costa Rica has become a very desirable market for potential landowners who desire a second home in an exotic locale.
In a February issue of ‘The Tico Times’ it states that “with the country experiencing a continuing real estate boom, emerging condo projects such as the one in the western San Jose suburb of Escazu’ are a common sight.” If land values continue to increase at their current pace, experts predict that acquiring acreage and Costa Rica real estate may be unattainable for middle-class North Americans within a decade.
