Signed papers today for my first house!
 

I got the price down to $120,000 USD from $126,400. Property is 210.93 m² with the actual construction being 190.4 m² of that.

Although pretty much everything in Costa Rica these days is a great investment, I think this one has great potential for the following reasons:

- It's already evaluated at approx $151,000 by multiple banks
- It's in a brand new project
- It's in a recently developing area

Here are some pics, what do you guys think?

Would I get killed or kidnapped if I moved there?
Looks like a great place. How much is something with an ocean view somewhat close to the beach, nice area and about 3000 sqft

Not in that area...unless you really seek it out :)

$120,000 wouldn't buy a townhouse like that in Florida, more like $300,000.

Nice place you have there!

that is beautiful. Not crazy about the appartment feel of the dining and kitchen areas though. Definately open that up some :)

noice congrats

How is Costa Rica as a place to live?

Nice! Congratulations!

You got that right.....and the USD continues to be worth more here each and every month :)

I've been living here now for almost 2 full years....it's become more commercial and some areas are becoming more expensive, but aside form that it's a great country.

From women to nature to quality of life :thumbsup

Nice pad.

Wow, that's a nice house for a very good price. I want to buy a house within 5 minutes walking distance from the beach in Socal and that's going to be at least 500k and up, most likely a lot up. I'll be saving for a long time!

Dam, that house is beautiful. You're blessed bro. I strive to get something like that REAL soon...

Yeah, they aren't the best quality since I'm no designer by any means, but figure they might attract the eye a bit better by being different than your usual banners...

I saw that URL (and previously posted in it ;p), thanks

god damn my 1bd apartment cost twice that much :(

Costa rica must be cheap, thats a nice pad dude

It's becoming more and more expensive, as more foreigners are moving here...I know someone who bought land here for about $150/sq. m who has had offers to sell now for $500/sq. m (only 3 years since he bought it). He's holding it as price should push up even more still....

This is a similar situation, the area I bought it in is only just really starting to construct and build :)

damn that looks great, congrats on your house!

Looks nice, congrats on the place

congratulations, its well deserved :thumbsup

Holy shit, my 1 bedroom appartment costs almost twice that.. I need to move the fuck out.

OMG, $100,000 buys you 1 fucking room here. Lucky guy! Congrats!!

Lol.. So I'm not the only one. :)

that is very nice.
maybe tony and i should think about buying a vacation home there. :)

Congrats man. Nice house. ;)

Good for you congrats Keith

Thanks....I'll prob throw a nice party once I move into it...so who's up to flying down just for a party? :1orglaugh

nice place!!!!!
congrats on your first home!! :thumbsup
