are they really this cheap?
I was doing a spanish project, and I chose this house in costa rica. It was really nice, like it would be considered a really really nice house in the US. But then the price said (the site was in spanish, it was a costa rican website) it said that it was 328,000.00. now would that be in costa rican currency? or united states currency? I would assume costa rican, but then I converted the price and it came out to 665 USD. Is that right? will 665 dollars buy me a house in costa rica?
if so... jeez i'll just move there. :P Additional Details um costa rica, by the way, is not us territory.
maybe you're thinking of puerto rico. But costa rica is its own country.
I personally dont find the houses cheap here, actually Costa Rica is expensive. Houses are at $350 000 and you would have to look locally to find cheaper houses.

Most likely if it was a really fancy house then that was the monthly rent of the house. Most houses in low income neighborhoods of CR cost 15k to 35k USC. So if its a fancier house in a nicer neighborhood then its more expensive than that.
drrrtyyy♥
that would actually be in costa rican currency... but your math is all wrong. that is not $665.

$1 US = 500 Colones
328,000. Colones = about $65,000. US
The price is probably in US Dollars. Buying a house in Costa Rica is now pretty expensive!

One of the many reasons why Americans do prefer to move and live in Costa Rica is because the lifestyle is better and more affordable. It is quite true that Costa Rica real estate is cheaper compare to nearby locations. Affordable yet quality.

350K USD.............sorry...............

Most of the real estate website shows the prices in US dollars and colones (Costa Rica currency). I believe the price you saw at that website has to be in US dollars.
There is no way you can find a house by that price, unless it is in very bad shape.
1 US$ = 498 (328000x498)
For 665USD you can rent a nice house.
