We began our quest for a new home abroad in the summer of 2014.  We searched the internet for expat forums, and real estate listings.  We narrowed the fi eld to two countries, Panama and Costa Rica.  After speaking with realtors in both countries we chose about 5 homes in Panama and between 15-20 homes in Costa Rica.  We lined up our itineraries in both countries so we could maximize our exposure to different locales in each country, and set off for a whirlwind tour of one week, the fi rst week of December.  Our fi rst stop was Panama for 2 days. We loved the capital, everything is brand new and obviously geared toward attracting wealthy foreigners. The thing that put us off buying there are the lack of infrastructure in any other part of Panama.  We found a couple of homes that we liked, but two hours out of the city with no close health care or shopping. It is also very hot unless you live in the mountains. Off to Costa Rica.  We had ho...

“Credibility is defined as the feeling of trust and respect that you inspire in others.” “Credibility is defined as the feeling of trust and respect that you inspire in others.” Many years have gone by since the real estate market of Costa Rica was adversely affected by the housing crisis in the United States. That crisis marked the before and after in the way luxury properties in our country are promoted. Previously the market was saturated with highly overpriced luxury properties and buyers were willing to pay the price.  Now we have a luxury real estate market still saturated with properties that have been on the market for years but wary buyers are no longer willing to pay whims. The reality of the current market is that luxury properties are worth what buyers are willing to pay for them. It is a market where the appraisal is no longer a starting point to define a realistic price for the property, where a good location is not so crucial to determine its value, whe...

“La credibilidad se define como el sentimiento de confianza y respecto que uno inspira en los demás” Han pasado muchos años desde que el mercado de bienes raíces de Costa Rica se vio fuertemente afectado por la crisis inmobiliaria en los Estados Unidos.  Esa época marcó el antes y el después en la forma en que se promueven las propiedades de lujo  para la venta en nuestro país.  Un antes saturado de propiedades de lujo con fuertes sobreprecios y compradores dispuestos a pagar el precio.  Un después saturado de propiedades de lujo con años de estar en el mercado y compradores cautelosos, que no están dispuestos a pagar caprichos.   La realidad del mercado actual es que las propiedades de lujo valen lo que el comprador esté dispuesto a pagar por ellas.  Es un mercado donde el avalúo ya no representa un punto de partida para definir un precio realista para la propiedad, donde una buena ubicación ya no es tan determinante para definir su valor,  d...
