5 real estate bloggers in Central America you should follow
March 7th, 2009
If you are looking for news and views from the front line of real estate in Central America, here are 5 real estate bloggers you should follow.
1. Panama Investor Blog, written by Sam Taliaferro, is packed full of insight into the real estate market in Panama. Sam has a long experience in real estate development and knows the business backwards. He’s also got a knack at weaving global trends into a local analysis of the marketplace. A must read for investors looking at Panama.
2. Destination Panama is an information packed guide to living in Panama written in a down to earth, engaging style. You’ll find posts on medical care, pets, travel and life on Taboga Island. The blog roll is full of links to additional sources of information.
3. Guys in the Zone - I found this blog via their recent post on yodeling naked in Costa Rica. In case your wondering it’s an indicator they’ve coined to measure privacy. If you can - yodel naked that is - then you’ve found yourself a private spot. A great source of local insight into the Uvita and Dominical property markets in Costa Rica.
4. Costa Rica Travel News - This is much more than a resource for hotels and travel information, the blog brings regular news on Costa Rica culture, tourism, real estate, jobs and retirement. There’s also a directory for local businesses on the site.
5. Discovering Serenity - A well-written blog covering Nicaragua real estate. We particularly enjoyed a post where they analyze the Index of Economic Freedom and per capita income of a country to determine whether a market is overvalued or undervalued. The blog follows latest trends in Nicaragua like the discussions on a proposed Coastal Law currently taking place in the National Assembly.
These blogs are well worth following. We’re planning on building a map of real estate bloggers (and Web 2.0 sites) covering Central America, so we’ll be adding to this list.
We would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for blogs that are worth a closer look and we’ll add them to our list.

Great list… I have lived in Central America for the past decade living in Nicaragua and finally making my home in Panama. Interesting, that Nicaragua has the same contentions as Panama in regard to coastal property ownership. The last I heard they are not making anymore coastal property. Listen up! Hot blog to watch is Douglas Choy’s Panama Weekly blog
We have been blogging weekly about offshore investment in Nicaragua since Dec 2007. Might also be useful to many readers.
Coastal Dreams Worldwide.
Cheers,
Kevin
Kevin, you’re absolutely right. Coastal Dreams Worldwide should be on the list of bloggers to follow. Thanks for highlighting this.
Thank you for including our blog in your list. We are “Guys in the Zone”, made up of 3 “guys” working in real estate from our Uvita Costa Rica office.
We feel that buying land in Costa Rica is a knowledge intensive project and so we set out to share our experiences with prospective buyers for the area through the writings in our blog.
The yodel naked concept is catching on as a classification of privacy for a property. I was talking with one of my competitors from Coldwell Banker here the other day about a particular piece of property. He asked me if it was “yodel naked” quality. I love it!
All the best to you with your blog here. I’ll be checking back regularly. I’m impressed with the depth of your articles and research.
