I wish I had bought years ago, and I am not waiting any longer, or I will never be able to afford anything. Foreigners who have vacationed here have found that the country is safe, amazingly beautiful, and not so far from home. In fact, from the east coast of the U.S., it is much closer to Costa Rica than to Hawaii. Costa Ricans are blessed with a stable democracy, no hurricanes, no revolutions, and a very happy populace, unlike many other countries in Central America. This set of traits, combined with its small size, low cost of living, and ideal climate make it one of the very best places on earth to retire, start a new life, or just invest in real estate. With so many people wanting to move to Costa Rica, of course the real estate prices are rising and continue to rise.

Forty million baby boomers are set to retire, and many are looking for a better retirement situation than they can afford in the U.S. and Costa Rica is on the top of the list.
