What advice to expats in Nosara have about housing?

"Expats in Nosara advise that housing can be quite expensive compared to other parts of the country, especially for beachfront properties. They recommend renting before buying to get a feel for the area and to understand the local real estate market. It's also important to work with a reputable real estate agent who is familiar with the local laws and regulations. Expats also suggest considering the cost of utilities and maintenance, as these can be high in Nosara. They also warn about the rainy season, which can cause damage to homes, so it's important to ensure that any property you buy or rent is well-constructed and weather-proofed. Finally, expats recommend learning some Spanish, as not all locals speak English and it can be helpful when dealing with housing issues," explained one expat living in Nosara, Costa Rica.
