		<description>Costa Rica is a beautiful place and the value of property will go back up.  It always does.  I am wondering what the market for &lt;a href=&quot;http://solarshadescreen.com&quot;&gt;solar screens&lt;/a&gt; might be in Costa Ria.  Are there many awning companies and such there?  The most energy efficient solar screens can be found at the reference in this text.  Costa Rica is coming back!  The ecological aspect of tourists visiting will continue. </description>

		<description>Hey Ben and Rod - Great article guys!  I&#039;m with you 100% Ben on your optimism that people with money to spend are now in a better position emotionally to re-examine purchasing land in the southern zone of Costa Rica.   This was a volitale 6 months, and alot of these potential buyers had employment worries or significant financial losses on paper that, while not comprising their financial ability to invest in real estate, put a big enough scare in them not too, thus forcing them to sit tight.  Things have stabilized now, and with prices properly adjusted and a saturation of good opportunities on the market, savvy investors who believe in Costa Rica and believe in the Southern Zone WILL start buying. 
 
We&#039;re starting to get some of these types of buyers re-interested in Sierpe del Pacifico...and I strongly feel that the same sort of thing will start to happen throughout the Southern Zone. </description>

		<description>I don&#039;t feel that pessimistic about real estate in Costa Rica although I agree that values are down everywhere in the world for the most part, and 40% decreases in value are the norm in my area, Lansing, MI USA.   I purchased 126 acres in the NW Pacific area of Costa Rica in Guanacaste about 7 miles from Playa del Coco and Playa Hermosa and 15 minutes from the Liberia airport (see www.colinasdelsolcr.com).  I have completed the infrastructure and all lots are segregated and registered and clear titled.  I have been unable to start the clubhouse and landscaping, but understand what I&#039;m up against and have resigned myself to holding on till the world economy improves again.    I am still convinced that Costa Rica is the place to be, and am confident that the government realizes that the crime problems have to be addressed as does the maze of paperwork involved in getting anything done in Costa Rica.  It&#039;s still a beautiful country and most of the residents are very nice people.</description>

		<description>Ah it&#039;s great to know we bought at the peek, but considering that money came from stocks I guess it is a wash.  At least my lot won&#039;t go bankrupt :-) </description>
