Costa Rica Real Estate Blog http://blog.costaricarealestatehunter.com Costa Rica Real Estate News and Info Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:30:00 +0000 en hourly 1 The US is Giving Out $1 Billion in Help to Homeowners http://blog.costaricarealestatehunter.com/2011/06/23/the-us-is-giving-out-1-billion-in-help-to-homeowners/ http://blog.costaricarealestatehunter.com/2011/06/23/the-us-is-giving-out-1-billion-in-help-to-homeowners/#comments Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:30:00 +0000 Costa Rica http://blog.costaricarealestatehunter.com/?p=49 I know that this is not directly relevant to Costa Rica real estate but I wanted to talk about it anyway as I certainly wish the Costa Rican Government would help out people in Costa Rica in such a manner.

I was just reading this story on MSNBC MONEY about$1 Billion in New Help to Flailing Homeowners where some 30,000 homeowners in need have until July 22 for a prescreening of interest free government loans from the government which could in turn become a gift.

Sure, its not in Costa Rica and I am no economist but that in turn should help the housing market in the US by bringing a bit more confidence about the housing market in the US which will slowly trickle down to the real estate industry in Costa Rica.

So wish them luckk!

The first is that we will now allow real estate agents in Costa Rica to place their listings on our website for a fee.  Of course, to ensure that the quality and safety of our listings, each agent that advertises their real estate listing will have to meet our approval first.  If you are a Costa Rica real estate agent interested in posting your listings on our site, please email lyndsay@costaricarealestatehunter.com.

The second way we will be expanding is that we are in the process of adding an auction feature on our site which will allow our customers to get a better price on their property in Costa Rica.  We expect this project to be completed within the next month so keep visiting our website for updates!
