We sit down with Spencer Barber to unpack what’s really happening on the ground in Costa Rica as global volatility shapes investor behavior in early 2026. We dive into why developers are increasingly choosing Costa Rica over the U.S., and the specific opportunities Spencer saw early in places like Playa Negra that others overlooked. He shares the most common (and costly) mistakes foreign developers make when entering the market, and why having the right local team isn’t just important—it’s everything. We also explore what buyers are actually looking for today, from luxury and privacy to eco-living and simplicity, and how those preferences are evolving. On the investment side, we break down fractional ownership, including the hidden costs most people never anticipate, and wrap up with Spencer’s three bold predictions for where the Costa Rica market is heading in 2026.

Jake Alexander & Richard Bexon break down how fractional ownership is emerging as a hands-off way to invest in luxury property in Costa Rica.

Similar to U.S.-style syndications, investors benefit from annual dividends while also enjoying personal usage of the property throughout the year—typically with a structured exit around year five.
