A Property Bargain in Costa Rica

Costa Rica packs a mighty punch. More than two million visitors come to this little country each year. Most follow the well-worn tourist trail, on the central Pacific coast and around the capital city.

But Pathfinder’s Costa Rica follows its own track. Our Costa Rica offers the same sensational scenery, the same exotic wildlife and the same friendly welcome. But it comes with a much lower price tag.

This newly-renovated house has two bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen. It’s a few minutes’ walk to restaurants and stores and a short stroll to a quiet park and a huge lake:

The house is fully-equipped with new appliances, linens and kitchenware. It’s got cable TV and high-speed internet.  It’s move-in ready. And it’s very affordable, with a list price of only $95,000.

A Big Discount in Panama

A hummingbird bolts past. His tiny wings glitter in the warm sunshine. He’s flitting from flower to flower, hovering briefly under their huge curved petals.

The river’s foaming rapids shoot past from the majestic mountains to the fertile valleys below. This landscape is a pretty patchwork of green mountains and hills, forests and rivers, and brightly-colored flowers everywhere you look.

It’s easy to see the appeal of this little highlands town. It’s a long-time favorite with North American retirees. Its popularity means it boasts a slew of nice amenities – cute cafes, nice restaurants, spas and a golf course. But it also triggered a real estate boom that started in 2004. Property prices doubled and tripled in a few short years.

The slowdown in the U.S. hit this town hard. The real estate market stalled. And that means it’s now more affordable to buy here.

The asking price on this spacious three-bed three-bath house was cut by $46,000 recently. It’s now priced at $289,000. The house has wood floors, outside patio space, big picture windows and impressive mountain views.

Beachside Lots with Financing

Uruguay

This is a magical stretch of coast. Seabirds wheel over sand dunes. The sparkling ocean rolls white-capped waves onto deserted beaches. A ribbon of white soft sand hugs the coastline.

In a beach town to the west, the rich and famous come to relax, to sunbathe, and to party. They wear designer clothes and drive expensive cars. They buy houses with top-end finishes, fancy kitchens and sky-high price tags.

But in this location your real estate dollar goes a long way. Development is moving along the coast from the jet-set beach town, but this is still an early-in opportunity.

That’s why you can buy a half-acre lot in a community for only $31,900. A short stroll takes you to a beautiful beach. You’re only a 10-minute walk to a nature reserve that covers almost half a million acres.

Best of all, you can take advantage of attractive developer financing on these beachside lots.  You can make a down payment of $9,570 and 36 interest-free monthly payments of only $615 a month.
