Life is a Highway – How I came to Costa Rica Part 4.  THE FINAL CHAPTER

An old client of mine wrote to me a few months ago. He has this southern drawl, and even when he writes, I can hear him speak in the words. “Myyyyyyyke. You gotta do sumthin’ amazin’ fur ya big one huned. It’s gotta be spectaculah. Just don do nuttin political.”

Thanks for the advice Don; I hope I have done you proud. So in celebration of my 100^th Newsletter, here is the one so many of you have been waiting for. The conclusion of “How I Came to Costa Rica.”

Is the market coming back?

Updated:  February 6th, 2017

For the last 4 years, we have seen a huge increase in sales every year from the previous year. Last year we did more transactions than the 3 previous years combined.  So what is driving the market you ask?  I think it’s a combination of a few things.

First of all, many of our clients have been planning to come to Costa Rica for years.  When the economy took a turn they put their plans on hold.  But after 4 or 5 years things are looking better in much of the USA and people are turning the attention again towards paradise. They don’t want to wait anymore.  Many people, even though they may have less money in their retirements than they had hoped for or had before the economic crash, are still putting their “5 year plans” to work.  So we are seeing many buyers coming here now that have told me they are tired of waiting and just want to make it happen now.
