Dear readers,
It is a true honor to welcome you to the first edition of the Diamante del Sur Real Estate and Integrated Services Newsletter, an initiative born from our commitment to connect, inform, and strengthen relationships with those who believe in the potential of Costa Rica’s Southern Zone as a place to live, invest, and grow sustainably.
My name is Silvio Dell’Oglio Partner and head of administration, communication and Creative Studio digital department. Alongside Cristian Rojas, founding partner, CEO and Project Director Construction & Desing department, and our partners Juan Pablo Fernández (Project Manager of Construction & Design departmente and Broker), Allan Sánchez (Lead Broker), and Jorge Salazar (Web Developer), we thank you for your interest and trust in this new space for dialogue and growth.

Diamante del Sur is much more than a real estate agency. We are a comprehensive platform combining expertise in buying, selling, design, construction, renovation, property management, and innovation in residential and industrial solutions. We specialize in providing complete, reliable, and personalized service tailored to the needs of the modern investor and discerning resident.
We firmly believe the Southern Zone is a rapidly growing region offering genuine opportunities—not only physically, but also economically, socially, and environmentally. Our mission is to accompany and guide those who want to be part of this positive transformation with professionalism, transparency, and a long-term vision.

GLOBAL TREND: INVESTMENT FROM THE UNITED STATES
In recent years, an increasing number of high-net-worth American investors have begun diversifying their assets outside the U.S., motivated by political uncertainty, economic volatility, tax increases, and a desire for a better quality of life.
Among the most attractive destinations for this international capital, Costa Rica stands out clearly. Its democratic stability, open investment policies, favorable climate, excellent healthcare and education systems, and unparalleled natural beauty position the country as a preferred option for acquiring residential, tourist, and commercial properties with high return potential.
Furthermore, laws such as Law 9996 to attract investors and retirees have generated concrete incentives, including tax exemptions and streamlined immigration procedures. This trend has been especially visible in areas like Guanacaste, the Central Pacific, and more recently, the Southern Zone, where prices remain accessible and appreciation potential is high.
More and more high-net-worth individuals from the U.S. are buying properties in Costa Rica. Here are some highlighted profiles:
• Ricardo Cáceres – former McDonald’s executive, acquired a lot in Reserva Conchal, a premium area of Nicoya, where homes start at USD $645,000 and exceed USD $4 million. (New York Post)
• Nils Thorjussen – tech entrepreneur, also settling in Reserva Conchal, splitting time between Park City and Costa Rica. (New York Post)
• John Johnson, co-founder of BuzzFeed, bought and renovated the Harmony Hotel in Nosara to preserve its original character, strongly supporting the local community. (Condé Nast Traveler)
• David Howitt, author and entrepreneur from Portland, invested in a luxury home in Nosara and plans to expand his portfolio in the Costa Ballena due to high rental returns. (osatropicalproperties.com)

Impact on the Southern Zone and the country:

THE SOUTHERN ZONE IN FOCUS
Once a well-kept secret, Costa Rica’s Southern Zone has become one of the country’s most promising destinations to live, invest, and develop. Areas such as Pérez Zeledón, Miravalles, Dominical, Uvita, Ojochal, and surroundings are experiencing sustainable growth in infrastructure and real estate demand.
Foreign investors, attracted by natural beauty, safety, quality of life, and legal stability, are driving this transformation. Unlike saturated areas like Guanacaste or Escazú, the Southern Zone still offers accessible options and a balance between solid investment and authentic environment.
Continuous improvements in road networks, public services, and digital connectivity also make this region ideal for permanent residences and tourism or commercial projects.

Southern Zone Real Estate Pulse – July 2025
Costa Rica’s Southern Zone continues gaining strength as one of the emerging stars in the national real estate market. While traditional destinations like Escazú and Tamarindo face saturation and inflated prices, regions like Pérez Zeledón, Ojochal, Uvita, and Dominical are emerging as strategic spots for residential and commercial investment.
Recent data from local brokers and international buyer interest show that land and housing prices in the Southern Zone have increased between 8% and 12% in the last 12 months, still below the national average, offering high profitability potential for early investors.

Buyer profile changes:
• 50% of recent inquiries come from buyers in the U.S. and Canada
• Increased interest from European digital nomads and eco-investors
• Growing demand for turnkey properties and ready-to-develop lots

Highlighted trend:
Rising demand for mixed-use properties, such as homes with rentable apartments, small boutique hotels, or large lots suitable for housing and lodging.
Whether investing for income, relocation, or retirement, the Southern Zone remains one of Costa Rica’s best value-for-money markets in 2025.

Why are more families moving to Pérez Zeledón in 2025?
Once a quiet agricultural hub, Pérez Zeledón is rapidly transforming into one of the Southern Zone’s most sought-after destinations. Families, retirees, and remote workers are discovering the unique blend of natural beauty, safety, and community warmth this region offers.

What makes Pérez Zeledón stand out?
• Low cost of living: Compared to more developed regions of Costa Rica, housing prices and daily expenses remain significantly lower.
• Climate and nature: A mild mountain climate combined with lush forests and rivers creates an ideal environment for outdoor activities and wellness.
• Community and services: Continually improving infrastructure, quality schools, healthcare access, and a growing cultural offer make Pérez Zeledón a practical long-term living option.
