"Real Estate For Sale in San Jose is Limited."
La Republica Newspaper - April 2009
On Monday 27th April 2009 Karen Retana confirms in La Republica newspaper (Registration is required) what we have been saying all along, that "Real Estate For Sale in San Jose is Limited." In summarizing the article, it speaks of how the number of new apartments and condos that are on the market in the Metropolitan Area is limited. It is estimated that only 15% of the 1,625 homes built - or about to be delivered - in the last year are still available.

The drop in the supply of real estate has been made more acute by the credit problems faced by the real estate sector. At present there are 14 new apartment and condo projects in this zone with at least seven on hold in the hope of better financing conditions. Little by little the high interest rates and the restrictions in applying for credit has affected real estate sales.

"We have sold 60% of Le Parc. However we have not started other projects (400 units) we had on the way dues to the credit situation in Costa Rica." said Jaime Molina, President of Proyectos ICC. "Some have spoken about a bubble but in the case of San Jose, the demand is healthy, what's left for sale is very little," said José Luis Salinas, President of Grupo Inmobiliario del Parque.
