Growing demand for luxury real estate

Rental demand increases

Rental returns in the Escazú area have ranged from 12% to 14% per year, especially those focused on renting to expatriates or vacation rentals such as Airbnb.

High-quality infrastructure and services

Escazú has an excellent level of urbanization. It has first class shopping centers and access to quality medical and educational services.

Which real estate sectors should you invest in?

  1. Luxury and high-end homes: Luxury homes and apartments remain a safe bet due to the steady demand for rentals. In addition, banks prefer to finance homes in condominiums, which makes it easier to obtain loans.
  2. Commercial and office space: Competition in this sector is fierce and having a commercial space in a privileged location can give you a strategic advantage, making this sector an attractive option.

Risk Factors of Investing in Escazú

  • Increased competition in the rental market: In the Escazú area, the number of rental properties is increasing every day, so the competition is great, and if you are an owner, you need to differentiate yourself in order to guarantee the constant occupation of your property.
  • Less dynamism in building permits: Compared to previous years, in Escazú (and several areas of the country) the pace of approval of new projects has slowed down, which could slow down projects, it is important that you take into account the changes in real estate regulation in the area.
