Looking To Purchase Property in Costa Rica?

Jump to Comments

If you have been looking for property in Costa Rica, you know it’s a daunting task.  It’s difficult to know where to look for the best prices.  Also, trusting the seller is another story.  A few sites I recommend are listed below.  However, you will have to do your home work in verifying all the information for your property of interest.  My next article will describe a few helpful tips that can save you thousands of dollars. 

Below are four internet sites that list properties for sale in CR.  Encuentra24 is my favorite as I have found several reasonably priced properties.  It’s helpful to read Spanish as the listings are mixed with English and Spanish.  Also, prices can be confusing as they are in colones and U.S. dollars.  To figure out the U.S. dollar amount if it is in colones, just double the figure.  For example, 5,000,000.00 in colones is roughly 10,000.00 U.S. dollars. 

The other sites are all in English and in U.S. dollars.
