Questions

Buying in Santa Teresa beach

How many properties are available in Santa Teresa beach?
We currently list 77 properties in Santa Teresa beach, of which 11 are available to rent. The figure moves as listings come and go — the count on this page is read from our own catalogue each time it loads.
How much does a property cost in Santa Teresa beach?
Asking prices currently run from $70,000 to $5,250,000, with a median of $595,000, or about $4,030 per m² of built area. These are asking prices from our own listings. Costa Rica keeps no public register of sold prices, so nobody can tell you honestly what places actually sold for.
Can I rent in Santa Teresa beach instead of buying?
Yes — 11 of our 77 listings in Santa Teresa beach are long-term rentals, asking a median of $1,200 a month. Renting for a season first is the usual advice for anyone who has not lived in the area through both the dry and the green season.
What rental yield can I expect in Santa Teresa beach?
On current listings the indicative gross yield is about 2.4% — median asking rent over twelve months divided by median asking price. Those are two different sets of properties, so treat it as a rough guide rather than the return on any particular purchase, and remember it is before management, maintenance, tax and vacancy.
What kind of property can I buy in Santa Teresa beach?
The most common listings here are beach house (29), beach land (15), house (7), building plot (5). Use the search to filter by type, budget and bedrooms.
Can foreigners buy property in Costa Rica?
Yes. Foreign buyers hold the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens over titled (fee simple) property, with no residency requirement. The main exception is the maritime zone along the coast, where the first 50 metres from the high tide line is public land and the next 150 metres is normally held on concession rather than owned outright, with limits on foreign-held concessions. Always have a Costa Rican lawyer check the title and its registry entry before you commit.
Is beachfront property in Santa Teresa beach freehold?
It depends where the boundary falls. Property set back from the maritime zone is held outright like anywhere else; property inside it is usually a concession from the local municipality, with its own renewal terms and restrictions. We tell you which you are looking at before you view, and your lawyer confirms it against the registry.
