What This Means for Buyers
Costa Rica is not one market — it is a set of regional stories. A gated community in the Central Valley solves a different problem than a beach condo in Jacó or an income parcel near Dominical. What holds steady across our active inventory is that serious buyers still need verified title, realistic infrastructure costs, and a clear view of liquidity before they wire funds abroad. The averages in this report reflect approved Green Coast listings on our MLS platform, not scraped aggregator noise. That matters when you are comparing a $400,000 home in Atenas with a $1.2M coastal estate: the median for all of Costa Rica can mislead you. Use these figures as orientation, then pressure-test the specific canton, access road, HOA structure, and resale path for the property you are actually considering. If a number looks attractive, ask what is included in the footprint and what it costs to own over five years — not just at closing. That is how North American buyers avoid the mistakes I have seen since 2004.

About This Report
This report aggregates active, approved listings on Green Coast Investments' nationwide MLS platform. Figures update on the first of each month from our internal inventory — not third-party portals. Regional labels follow GCI's market taxonomy. Price per square metre uses construction size when available, otherwise land area. It is a buyer-orientation tool, not a formal appraisal.
