Author: Nicaragua real estate is suddenly on the radar of many baby boomers. As retirement looms, folks are starting to look for desirable and affordable places to retire. Nicaragua combines beauty and tranquility with affordability like no other retirement destination. Once riddled with civil unrest, Nicaragua has transformed itself into a wonderful place to relax and enjoy life.
Nicaragua is certainly one of the most reasonably priced places to live in the western hemisphere. Known as the bread basket of Central America, the prices for fresh vegetables and fruits are very, very low. The cost of dairy, poultry and world class beef is less than half the price you would find in a North American market.
Nicaragua really does offer something for everyone. There are sleepy little fishing villages that dot the majestic Pacific Coast. You can spend the afternoon watching children play amongst the waves or watching fishing boats return with their harvest. There are a few wonderfully preserved colonial towns. Take a horse and buggy taxi while admiring the awesome architecture.
The climate in Nicaragua is almost always beautiful with the heaviest rains of the green season generally limited to the month of October. The skies are blue and the air is fresh. The temperatures hover around a warm 88 degrees Fahrenheit and most days enjoy a refreshing off shore breeze. If you prefer a more temperate climate then you might prefer the mountainous regions of northern Nicaragua. The coffee growing areas are a very beautiful luch green and enjoy year round temperate climates.
Nicaragua real estate has been a well kept secret until recently. Always affordable, with the world wide economic crisis of 2009, some Nicaragua real estate opportunities have become very inexpensive indeed. It is now possible to get a 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom luxury condo with fabulous ocean view for $139,000.00. In 2007, these same condos were being gobbled up for $220,000.
Keep Nicaragua in mind when you are doing your tropical retirement destination research. Whether you choose volcano views with a temperate climate, or sunny warm weather and ocean breezes, you will more than likely be surprised at the options available to you, and the cost of investment and living. Visit for yourself, and you won’t take very long to add Nicaragua to your list of retirement possibilities.
