Methodology & Honest Disclosures

1. All prices are ASKING prices from public listings — not achieved sale prices. Costa Rica has no public sold-price registry.
2. Unique-property counts are de-duplicated across 17 listing sources; the same property listed by several agencies counts once.
3. Price-per-m² figures cover only the listings that publish a usable living area (15–5,000 m²); every figure ships with its own visible sample size.
4. Cells with fewer than 5 comparable listings are suppressed rather than shown — a thin sample would mislead more than a blank.
5. Rental yields are GROSS asking-side estimates — median rent $/m² × 12 ÷ median sale $/m² — before management, maintenance, taxes, insurance and vacancy. Published for 1 regions; suppressed for 0 where either leg is under 20 observations.
6. Market-velocity metrics (days on market, absorption) are still accruing history (62/90d) and are not published yet — no verdict is fabricated from an immature window.
7. This report is aggregate market statistics, not a valuation. It does not replace a comparative market analysis (CMA) or local due diligence — talk to your agent before any decision.
