Why buy a house in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua - great value in Central America

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

If you are only looking at Costa Rica, that seems like a great value. But in Nicaragua, that price is absurd. It's important to offer more complete information like that a house like that is only $80K actually on the beach in most of the country. Even in SJDS, $350K isn't realistic. That's what we expect if you ask a real estate agent, but there is a reason that houses don't sell down there mostly. You have to account that those houses sit on the market for years. You give comparisons to high cost locations, which makes it seem like SJDS is a deal, but it's an isolated bubble of high prices compared to most of the region. It might still be a place that you would choose, but only comparing against cherry picked high cost locations gives a skewed view. In Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala the quotes prices are nuts. Especially when beach front hotels fail to sell for years at lower price. It's important to note that many houses stayed on the market for many, many years. Not one or two, it's common to have houses on the market for seven years with no movement.

I have lived here since 2010. A visit from my son Caused me to go on a two week tour and see Nicaragua as a tourist again. It seemed to me that San Juan Del Sur is not much anymore. Places like Leon and the beach developments up the coast have really stolen all of the luster. When I got to SJDS, I saw that things have mostly stayed the same since 2010 other than that there are fewer businesses and Restaurants in the center of SJDS. If you wanted to eat something other than seafood on the beach now, there were few choices, and frankly, I walked out of two of them and was disappointed with the third.

[@darrenmanser2847]

Totally agree with you. I thought the market was cooked when I first arrived two years ago. And after a lot of research I personally chose to buy in Popoyo and Las Penitas. I'm not regretting my decision.

[@schoolnyc]

I've been spending about three-quarters of my time in San Juan del Sur for around four years now. I came here originally because it was one of the few countries open during COVID. As for tourism, there’s really only one decent motel, and you might be thinking of the backpackers in hostels. The beach is muddy, not sandy, and there's only one restaurant where the steak isn’t tough. If you're an American like me from a big city, you may find the lack of amenities frustrating, especially when it comes to finding a cup of coffee-most restaurants don’t serve it, even though Nicaragua produces some of the finest coffee in the world. On the upside, I appreciate the hour-and-a-half commute to Miami, the safety, and the friendliness of Nicaraguans, who go out of their way to help. Plus, I have access to free quality medical care, and I see my English-speaking cardiologist for just $40, spending a full hour with me. Contrary to what you might read, the government here is well-run..

Ask foreign residents about health care in Costa Rica. It has good outcomes from what I was told, but I've been appropriately treated in Nicaragua for an allergic reaction and for pneumonia in the free system, and for diagnosis of a hiatal hernia and high blood pressure in the private system. I'm alive. For reasons, the doctors also are quite good at handling trauma. As an foreigner, you'll probably want to see if you can get either INSS (national health and retirement insurance) here or the Costa Rican National Insurance. However because they're competing with free, private care tends to be more reasonably priced than in the US.

In Nicaragua Ortega deals the drugs himself. Zero cartel wars. Incredibly safe. A soldier with a machine gun on every 3rd street. Unless you are a protestor its incredibly safe. Costa Rica is dangerous in the rurals and the locals are far poorer as things are so much more expensive. The other countries are similar. The US just hates dictators that aren't their bitch. They LOVE a dictator that does exactly what they want...give all the resources to corporations.

[@RebeccaOre]

If we start driving up prices, we do get disliked. That happens in the US when rural communities get over run with snow birds. Best advice is stay away from the usual expat placees, look at parts of Managua in the hills, look at Leon, Boaco, Chotales, the mountain towns, and even other countries depending on what you have to live on. Figure out what you need to be happy and find a place that has whatever that is -- flyfishing for giant tetras, riding horses, keeping orchids in a garden year round, playing Andean flutes (Ive heard Andean music twice in Nicaragua), surfing, photographing Central America brocket deer and birds. Find the place that has whatever that is. My rule of thumb was no more than 30 other foreigners but at least six.

You would have to be crazy as an investor to buy a $350,000 house in Nicaragua. The U.S. may remove Nicaragua from CAFTA, and this is now more likely with Rubio potentially becoming Secretary of State. Property rights in Nicaragua are weak, the real estate market has extremely low liquidity, and the dictatorship continues to engage in all sorts of erratic and harmful policies. Why would you, as an investor, put your money in Nicaragua when you could easily invest in MS stock or any other leading company? Perhaps to diversify your portfolio? Even then, the risk and the value of the property for $350,000 are not worth it. If you’re planning to live in Nicaragua, that’s a different matter, and it might make more sense.

A lot of people left in 2018. At least these people were honest about the liquidity problem. As one man said, if you invested money equal to the cost of a house wisely, you could rent in Nicaragua on the dividend and still would have your money. Trying to get your money out from a house you bought without spending time here is kinda difficult.
