Active CR For Sale listings for the fourth quarter of 2026: counts, asking-price ranges, and price per square meter. Pending and sold homes are excluded.
This snapshot counts homes listed as active on CR For Sale. It is an inventory picture for the fourth quarter of 2026, not a forecast and not a closed-sale index. Pending, under contract, and sold properties are left out on purpose.
The cards and bars below are filled from that live inventory, and each view is labeled with the date the count was taken. If a listing has no living-area figure, it stays in the price range and drops out of the price-per-square-meter median.
Two ranges on the cards are not calculated from these homes. Rental yield of 5–9% is the site-wide figure published on the CR For Sale homepage. Annual appreciation of 3–6% is the outlook published in the market-trends guide for quality properties in established communities, and the homepage publishes the same 3–6% range. Neither range is a new quarter-end study.
Five outside figures sit beside the inventory, each with its own source and date. Liberia airport handled 1,973,831 passengers in 2025, up 3.3% (airport operator figures via Periódico Mensaje, January 21, 2026). That count is passengers in both directions, not tourist arrivals. Liberia tourist arrivals for January through July 2026 were 698,079, up 13.3% (El Observador, August 20, 2026, citing the tourism board). The central bank held its policy rate at 3.00% on September 24, 2026. Coldwell Banker’s May 2026 report put the Guanacaste median asking price at $1,401,415, up 5.17% year over year; that is a province-wide list price, not a Gold Coast closed sale. AirDNA’s Tamarindo page, updated October 13, 2026, shows 51% occupancy for the trailing year through September 2026. Those cards are context. They are not a forecast, and they are not mixed with a second data provider.

Liberia airport passengers for 2025, Liberia tourist arrivals for January through July 2026, the central bank policy rate, the Coldwell Banker Guanacaste median asking price from its May 2026 report, and AirDNA’s Tamarindo occupancy for the year through September 2026. Each card names its source and date. They are not calculated from the homes on this page.
