In recent years, Costa Rica has become one of the most attractive destinations for international real estate investors. Why? Thanks to a winning combination of political stability, tourism growth, a favorable legal framework, and steady property value appreciation. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), the real estate sector in Costa Rica has experienced consistent growth in property values, particularly in coastal and tourist-heavy regions such as Guanacaste, Tamarindo, and Nosara. This trend is confirmed by the 2023 World Bank report, which highlights the country’s stable economic trajectory and its appeal to foreign capital.
With over 2.3 million tourists recorded in 2023 (source: ICT - Instituto Costarricense de Turismo), Costa Rica is one of the most visited countries in Central America. The government continually invests in environmental sustainability, tourism infrastructure, and biodiversity protection—factors that contribute to a stable demand for both short- and long-term housing. Rentals of ocean-view villas and apartments are particularly profitable, especially in the Guanacaste region where Flor de Pacifico operates. These properties are not only attractive to tourists but also to digital nomads, retirees, and professionals in remote work.
Costa Rica is widely recognized as one of the most stable democracies in Latin America. It abolished its military in 1948 and demonstrates a strong commitment to civil rights, education, and public healthcare. This institutional stability is a key factor for those considering foreign real estate investments. The legal system fully protects foreign property ownership: there are no restrictions on purchasing property, and the process is transparent and usually overseen by public notaries and local attorneys. Furthermore, international agreements with the United States, Canada, and European countries provide investors with additional security on fiscal and legal levels.
Data from CentralAmericaData and local real estate platforms indicate a consistent upward trend in property values, especially in Costa Rica's Pacific regions. In some areas like Playa Hermosa or Playa Flamingo, property values per square meter have increased by up to 20% in the last three years. This makes Costa Rica not only an attractive place to live but also an ideal market for capital appreciation. The offering is expanding to include eco-friendly developments and nature-integrated residential communities, appealing to environmentally conscious international buyers.
Costa Rica's tax system favors investors: annual property taxes are low (0.25% of the registered value), and there are no wealth taxes or taxes on primary residences. Additionally, compared to other Latin American countries, the bureaucracy is relatively straightforward, allowing property purchases to be finalized quickly with the support of local professionals. Flor de Pacifico provides personalized consulting on this front, assisting clients through documentation and notarial procedures.
