Seven Reasons to Buy a Holiday Home in Costa Rica

Costa Rica in Central America is an incredibly beautiful nation with well over 1,200 km of Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea coastline and it is a nation with a rapidly developing, environmentally aware tourism industry.

Such is the appeal of the country that more and more people are exploring it annually and as a result the demand for holiday property for sale in Costa Rica is increasing.

Here are seven top reasons for you to consider buying a holiday home in Costa Rica today.

1) Incredible real estate

The wealth of real estate for sale in Costa Rica is amazing — while much of the island is protected from development, where construction is allowed companies are designing and building sumptuous homes which make the most of the incredible rainforest and ocean views available throughout Costa Rica.

Homes for sale are well priced when compared like for like with property in America or Western Europe for example, and because so many more people are now annually travelling to Costa Rica, well located holiday homes can actually derive the owners a great income as well as being a stunning asset and an enjoyable investment commodity.

2) Beautiful climate

Costa Rica is tropical and subtropical and as a result it has an exciting and stunning climate. One of the best locations climate-wise is Dominical in the Pacific Zone of Costa Rica. There even in the rainy season which lasts from June to November it never gets cold with average highs of 30 degrees Celsius daily. The rain tends to fall in the afternoon and evening with nights and mornings often dry and fresh. The official dry season runs from December to May and then temperatures are similar to those enjoyed in the wet season but naturally precipitation is far lower. The climate is ideal for those hoping to escape the harsher winters that Northern American and European nations experience, and therefore a holiday property in Costa Rica that can be enjoyed especially between the months of December and May makes a great asset to have.

3) Political stability

Costa Rica is a politically stable nation, it has a mature government, it has no need for an active army and as such it is considered a safe country in which to invest money into real estate.

4) High standard of living

There is a growing middle class in Costa Rica that is becoming more affluent, furthermore there are more North American and Western European expatriates moving to the nation than ever before and all of these people are demanding, expecting and willing to pay for a good standard of living. As a result the standard of living has improved greatly and this makes holidaying in the nation a pleasure rather than a struggle!

5) Welcoming people

Costa Rican people are rightly proud of their perfect country and they are used to welcoming international visitors annually. Those who invest in real estate and give something back to the country are prized highly and made to feel very welcome indeed.

6) Biodiversity

The most incredible fact about Costa Rica is that in world landmass terms it only occupies 0.01% of the entire planet and yet it is home to 5% of the world’s animal and plant species! If that doesn’t make Costa Rica special and worth a visit I don’t know what does! In fact the biodiversity that Costa Rica is home to is an attraction for increasing numbers of tourists meaning the travel and tourism industry is strong in Costa Rica and means buying a holiday home in the country is a good investment choice.

7) Stunning landscape

Finally, the natural landscape in Costa Rica is incredible. You have cliffs framed with rain forests, wild ocean waves on the Pacific coast and gentle lapping waters on the Caribbean coast, you have dense lush plant life and lone palm trees, blue skies, white clouds and untouched sandy beaches — if paradise were to be found on earth, chances are it would be found in Costa Rica.
