May 2, 2009 - PRLog -- A new web portal, recognized as the first and most unique website of Costa Rica, exclusively dedicated to marketing million dollar homes and mansions for sale in Costa Rica was launched on May 1st, 2009.

In today's highly competitive business environment www.costaricamilliondollarhomes.com stands out from the crowd with innovation offering a new product to high end buyers and sellers of million homes in Costa Rica.  As leaders of the luxury real estate industry of Costa Rica with their main website www.costaricaluxuryestates.com, they are number one in the web when searching for luxury real estate in Costa Rica, luxury homes in Costa Rica and luxury estates in Costa Rica.  With creative marketing approaches, the new website www.costaricamilliondollarhomes.com expects to be very soon the number one search engine for million dollar homes in Costa Rica.

Yalile Alpízar, President and Owner of CostaRicaLuxuryEstates.Com and CostaRicaMillionDollarHomes.Com has dedicated almost 20 years of her life to the real estate industry of Costa Rica.  Her company has experienced an increased in demand for luxury real estate over the past ten years.  The trend is steady and increasing.  She explains that million dollar homes in Costa Rica are built with the highest standards of anti-seismic techniques as Costa Rica is a country with an important record of regular seismic activity.   On the other hand, she says, local architecture and engineering firms are rated among some of the best firms of the continent.  

After touring million dollar homes and mansions in Palm Beach, Key Biscayne and Beverly Hills with her daughter and  partner Andrea Guillen, she affirms that million dollar homes in Costa Rica clearly meet the standards of million dollar homes in those exclusive addresses.

As Costa Rica continues placed as one of the favorite destinations of the Americas for second home and vacation home ownership, homes in Costa Rica have gotten bigger and more luxurious to justify land value and the needs and desires of very demanding home owners.  In areas such as Escazu, Santa Ana and some sophisticated beach destinations, prices have increased up to the skies over the past few years.  For example, there are some lots of a little over 2,000 m2 at Playa Avellanas priced over $2 million each.  Even though there is a worldwide financial crisis, mansions in Costa Rica are still been built in different parts of the country.

This mansionization of Costa Rica has reached a point where there is no budget limitations put on top of architects and engineers in order for them to bring to life renderings that seem to be impossible dreams on paper.

Million dollar properties in Costa Rica are measured by square meter.  You can pay from $1,000 m2 for a luxury home up to $10,000 m2 for a multimillion dollar mansion.  Prices of land per square meter in some of the most exclusive gated compounds rise from $200 m2 up to $1,000 m2 depending on location and services offered.

Some of the increased costs have to do with expensive finishes such as imported marble, exotic woods and stones, and the largest variety of high end features for lighting, security, sound systems and entertainment.  They are houses with a high level of finishes, detail and quality.  In some cases, they are award winning architectural works of art.

At times of crisis millionaires are still conservative except when it comes to their home.  If they can afford it and want it they will have it.  It all has to be with keeping a standard of living for which they have worked most part of their lives.

Owning a million dollar home in Costa Rica has turned into a standard of living, a new concept of sharing with family and friends, a way of living life at a different speed, taking advantage of the added value of natural ingredients offered by a region full of wonders.
