Hi, I am a real estate professional with Casa Solution in Boquete. Here are some of our thoughts about the area. If you choose to visit, wed be happy to be of service. About Boquete in Chiriqui Province Nestled in a cool and verdant valley, Boquete in Chiriqui is a deeply beautiful mountain community blessed with yearround springlike weather, incredible views around every corner and warm people with a rich culture. Boquete boasts a growing number of amenities including excellent restaurants, spas, hotels, shops, supermarkets, gyms and endless opportunities to experience the natural wonder of the region. Boquete is experiencing significant growth and that development is expected to escalate partially due to two major infrastructure projects underway. Highway expansion Construction is well underway the main road that links Boquete to David Panamas third largest city is under expansion from two simple lanes to a four lane highway under a 117.6 million contract. This will make the area far more accessible to tourists and new residents. Airport expansion There is a four phase program to dramatically upgrade the international airport in David. 27 million has already been allocated, the first phase of runway expansion is already complete, and the new massive terminal is going up quickly. The existing building currently services immigration and customs needs as it receives regular flights from San Jose, Costa Rica. The new facility will be much larger and better facilitate the arrival of larger planes with more passengers. All of this is in preparation for direct US flights to David though formal and firm announcements or routes will likely come after terminal completion. Over a Thousand new arrivals Boquete has a thriving expatriate retiree and lifestyle community. Well over a thousand people from the United States, Europe, Canada and other regions have chosen Boquete as their new home for a wonderful and exciting new lifestyle. So Many Things to Do As a result there are a wide range of social activities including a weekly Tuesday market, English language social groups, and many of the newcomers integrate through Boquetes extensive charitable network. Since so many people are new to the area, making new friends in Boquete is pretty easy. Its a very social environment whether you live in or outside of Boquetes fine gated residential communities.

The real estate market in Boquete heated up quickly in early 2003 and remained hot until the real estate crisis in the United States in late 2008. Prices pulled back for the greater part of 2009, but we have seen a resurgence of buyers into the market this year, fueled mainly by a fear of new taxes and regulations in the United States. Inventories of existing homes are dwindling and there are signs that the overall market is picking up again.
