Central America continues to attract investors and tourists alike.  But not all countries have the same pulling power. 

The graph below shows which countries rack up the highest number of searches for real estate online based on the generic country-followed-by-real-estate search phrase.  As you can see, there are more searches made for “costa rica real estate” than for “el salvador real estate.”  And every day the search term ”belize real estate” is typed into search engines more times than “guatemala real estate.”

The results that underpin the graph above are for July 07.  But the trends have stayed the same for a number of years.  Perhaps we will see the numbers of searches for “Panama real estate” and “Belize real estate” catch up with “Costa Rica real estate.”  At the moment though, Costa Rica is the leader for real estate searching online.
