Costa Ballena Real Estate Market Update
Positive Momentum and Growing Confidence Heading into the Second Half of 2025
The Costa Ballena real estate market continues to demonstrate resilience and strength in 2025, with encouraging signs of growth and a notable shift in momentum as we enter the second half of the year.
In Q1 2025, Blue Zone Realty International recorded:
-
75 transactions
-
$45,528,500 in total sales volume
-
An average sale price of $607,628
-
A median residential sale price of $362,500
-
A median luxury sale price of $1,337,500
As we reached mid-year (YTD July 2025), those numbers grew significantly:
-
126 total sales (a 68% increase from Q1)
-
$74,619,500 in total volume
-
A median residential price of $336,250
-
A median luxury sale price climbing to $1,400,000
While the median residential price dipped slightly, this reflects a broader mix of inventory entering the market rather than a decrease in demand. The increase in luxury sales and rising median luxury prices suggest continued strong interest from high-net-worth buyers seeking premier properties in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica.
