This pattern mirrors the level of maturity of the real estate markets - from emerging (Nicaragua) to middle markets (Panama and Belize) to the most mature (Costa Rica). We’ve analysed this before by plotting ‘development curves’ to show the relative levels of each of the markets.

I would like to advise Investors to protect themselves by retaining an Attorney or reputable Real estate Agent prior to purchasing properties in Belize. As a Belizean, I am ashame of my observation of fraudulent Land conveyance that has occured in my country, that is causing Investors/Developers to lose their finances and leaving the country empty handed. I was selling a 2.92 acre Beach Front property with ligitimate title and was unable to complete transaction due to the fact that, the buyer had made the mistake in purchasing another property and was unable to get title conveyed to him. I am aware that things like this happens anywhere but, one has to be very carefull when investing in another country. As a paralegal and having knowledge of Land Matters in my country, I am trying to assist the investor to hopefully get his title as much as I would like to sell my property to pay my wife's medical treatment for cancer. Please, Buyer beware my country is still a great country to invest or to live in. Have a very Blessed Day.

But it’s Costa Rica that racks up the highest amount of coverage on the blogosphere. Costa Rica has been a destination for vacation home buyers for decades and is now home to an impressive array of hospitality brands.
