Buy a Home Today, Earn Tomorrow: How Property Values Are Rising in Costa Rica

Today's Value, Tomorrow's Capital

When evaluating a real estate investment abroad, the most common question is: “How much will my property be worth in five or ten years?”

In the case of Costa Rica, the data speaks for itself. According to the latest reports, property values in key areas like Guanacaste have shown consistent growth. In 2024 alone, home prices in Guanacaste increased by 16.15% year-over-year, reaching an average of $2,221 per square meter.

This upward trend is fueled by growing international demand, drawn to the country's economic stability, natural beauty, and high quality of life. Investing today means entering a still-accessible market that is rapidly evolving, with promising prospects for growth.

A Booming Real Estate Market

In recent years, the real estate market in Costa Rica has experienced significant momentum, especially in the most accessible and safe coastal areas. Tourism growth, infrastructure improvements, and the arrival of a new generation of international residents are driving property values steadily higher.

Guanacaste, in particular, stands out as one of the most solid and in-demand regions. Here, the limited availability of modern, professionally managed properties helps homes in well-designed communities retain and often increase their value over time. Unlike more saturated markets, Costa Rica still offers room for real, sustainable growth.

Luz del Mar: A Project with a Vision

The new Luz del Mar residential village, currently under construction in Potrero, fits perfectly into this landscape. It answers the rising demand for quality homes that are move-in ready, rentable, and built to last.

What makes this project truly stand out is its vision: not just a group of villas, but a genuine residential community surrounded by nature, featuring essential services, full management, and a carefully designed living experience. Buying here means securing not just a property, but a long-term position in a market with solid, proven growth.

Invest to Earn (or Simply to Live Better)

Buying a home in Costa Rica also means the chance to generate passive income in euros or US dollars. Short- and mid-term rentals, especially during the dry season, offer a highly attractive revenue stream. Recent analyses show that investors can expect an average annual ROI between 10% and 15%, considering both property appreciation and rental income.

Some owners, however, choose not to rent at all — instead using their home for personal retreats, family visits, or future plans. In both cases, the property retains its value, strengthens over time, and often appreciates.

As Fabio, 57, a Flor de Pacifico client, shared:
“I’ve always invested in Italian cities, but this time I wanted something that would also give me a better lifestyle. I’ve already received rental requests, but for now I’m just enjoying it.”
