Costa Rica is the number one offshore location for Americans retiring.  We at Costa Rica Retirement Vacation Properties have eyed this market for some time and need tobe ready for it despite the gloom and doom predicted because of the US markets and their fallout.  Note the following:

Boomers are 78 million strong and represent 24% of the U.S. population, they certainly don’t always think and act alike.  Some are very anxious to go offshore for a host of different reasons.
A Baby Boomers USA Report Uncovers $46 Billion Growth. At approximately 78 million people, Baby Boomers are one of the largest buying groups in America.

CANADIAN BOOMERS

The number of Canadians aged 55 to 64 — those most likely to be thinking about retirement — jumped by 28 per cent in the past five years to 3.7 million.

What do Baby Boomers seek mainly? Low maintenance, security location -

Baby Boomers the oldest of which are 58 years of age, yearn for the simplistic life when choosing a home for retirement.- low maintenance, security, and location are major factors driving activity. Sales in condominiums are on the upswing coast to coast in the USA.  Baby Boomers are going to blow the roof off retirement living.  Retirement Real Estate in warmer climates is high on the list also

Influences
 
The new retirement will encompass today’s active lifestyle communities, with all future movement driven by preference, not by life cycle events. Luxury condominiums-golf and adult lifestyle communities, secondary residences,and smaller homes in better areas are attracting this age group.

This demographic tidal wave is starting to have an impact on the cottage real estate market, but the real effect is yet to be felt.

In my opinion, Costa Rica Real Estate will share the influx of Baby Boomers through out the country with a larger percentage seeking the retirement areas with the best year round climates and good health care such as the central valley of Costa Rica.

Other centers such as Tamarindo and Liberia are now looking to have our major Hospitals server their areas. This can be most helpful for the Coastal real estate market.

We at Costa Rica Retirement Vacation Properties have been focusing most of our marketing efforts on the Baby Boomers. We see Costa Rica as a solution for many. Many Boomers will be buying properties today that complete timely with their retirement dates.
