The Top 10 Markets Interested in Costa Rica Real Estate - Results of my market research

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass Properties - THE Costa Rica Real Estate Expert
Costa Rica real estate for everyone!My colleague told me about this great tool from Google (thank you Mike & Google!), called Google Trends.  It allows you to see what cities/urban centers are most interested in a particular topic, with additional tools that allow you to see the information on an annual basis, monthly basis, or some other permutation.

Who's looking for "Costa Rica real estate"?

I wanted to find out who was using Google's search engine to search for the phrase Costa Rica real estate.  So, I typed that in and got my results for the year of 2007.  Some of the results surprised me, but others did not.  Some of the surprises I found were that 3 city centers in Canada were in that top 10 list.  What didn't surprise me was that urban centers with a large population of seniors and real estate investors fell into this list.

My name is Doug Pemberton a Realtor in south orange county. As you know our industry has slowed. The Residental area that is.

Could you tell me about your company. I have gone to your website compassproperties.com and looked into the opportunities there.  I have always had an interest in working in Latin America, specifically Costa Rica and Cabo.

I am thinking that since our market is the way it is right now might be a good time to make a move.

Please let me know what ever you can about working in Costa Rica or selling Costa Rican properties

Thank you so much.

Donna - yes, I was quite thrilled when my colleague showed me Google Trends.  Now that I know what areas are most interested in Costa Rica real estate, I am going to focus on these markets.  Especially exciting is the interest from the Canadian market, since I am Canadian and I have numerous friends and family living in Calgary - the #3 market interested in Costa Rica real estate.

Doug - Yes, I'd love to answer any questions you may have.  As it turns out, our US head office is in Newport Beach, probably pretty close to you.
