Crisis or New Beginning? What’s Happening in the U.S.

 Blog By Sian Deda

Right now, the United States is going through one of its most politically and socially tense moments in recent memory. Former president Donald Trump is once again at the center of controversy, immigration is a heated issue, and millions of Americans are feeling uncertain about the future. But what does this have to do with Costa Rica, and specifically with real estate in the south of the country?

More than you might think.

A Time of Tensión, and Transformation

Many U.S. citizens are deeply concerned about the current political climate, increasing
polarization, and what may come next if things continue down this road. But while some
people worry, others are already taking action. And for many of them, Costa Rica offers
exactly what they are looking for: stability, peace, nature, and a fresh start.

But What About the Dollar?

It’s a valid question. If the U.S. dollar weakens, or if the stock market becomes unstable, will
Americans still be able to afford property abroad?

Yes, and here’s why:
In times of economic or political uncertainty, people with assets often move their money to
safer, more stable countries.

Costa Rica remains a desirable, long-term investment, especially in areas that are still
growing and offer high quality of life.

Many Americans are accelerating retirement plans or remote work relocations, and they see
Costa Rica as a smart, future-proof mové, even if the exchange rate fluctuates.

Why Southern Costa Rica Is the Best-Kept Secret
While places like Tamarindo or San José get plenty of attention, the southern region of Costa
Rica is where the real magic happens, especially for those seeking peace, privacy, and
connection to nature.

Our area includes:

Dominical – A relaxed beach town known for surfing, wellness, and natural beauty.

Uvita – Home to the famous Whale’s Tail beach and the Marino Ballena National Park.

Pérez Zeledón – A vibrant town with a strong local culture and access to the Chirripó
Mountains.

Miravalles and Quebradas – Beautiful, cooler mountain areas ideal for peaceful living,
eco-retreats or sustainable projects.

These regions are less saturated, more affordable than the north, and have a growing
community of like-minded expats who value sustainability, wellness, and a slower, more
meaningful lifestyle.

What Buyers Are Looking For Now

In the current U.S. climate, we are seeing a clear shift in priorities. People are no longer just
buying a second home or planning for "someday."

They’re looking for:
Permanent relocation options
Affordable land to build on
Off-grid or eco-living possibilities
Safe communities for families or retirement
Investment properties with long-term rental potential
Southern Costa Rica checks all those boxes, and more.
Real Estate That Aligns With Values

In a time when division and fear dominate headlines, Costa Rica represents something very
different: peace, harmony, and balance. For many Americans, this is not just a place to
escape, it’s a place to live with intention.

And we’re here to help.
