Looking to buy in Costa Rica but don't know where to start? Here are 5 key points from our free PDF guide "Buying Real Estate in Costa Rica".
There is some flexibility in pricing for buyers: Most properties in Costa Rica sell below the asking price. Negotiation is key, especially if the property has been on the market for a while.
Low Property Taxes: Property taxes in Costa Rica are as low as 0.25% of the property’s value. For a $100,000 property, that's only $250 a year! Even luxury homes face relatively low taxes compared to global standards.
Financing Options: Financing in Costa Rica can be tricky for non-residents, but options such as private or owner financing exist, and can be very low!
Escrow: Protect your investment with an international escrow service. Escrow acts as a neutral party and makes sure your purchase agreement terms are followed, protecting your transaction.
Do A Home Inspection! Prices for home inspections range from $500 to $1,500 depending on the property size and depth of the inspection. This step ensures there are no hidden surprises before you close the deal.
