The fear of missing out, or FOMO, is increasingly influencing property buying decisions in Costa Rica, experts caution. Defined as the apprehension that one might miss a profitable investment or life-changing opportunity, FOMO can lead to hasty purchases without proper due diligence. This trend, initially observed during the pandemic-driven toilet paper panic, is now manifesting in the real estate sector. Buyers, both local and foreign, are rushing to secure properties amid fears of rising prices and limited availability. However, experts warn that such impulsive decisions often result in buyer’s remorse and financial setbacks. They advise potential buyers to research thoroughly, consult professionals, and avoid letting FOMO dictate their investments. As Costa Rica’s property market continues to attract international interest, staying level-headed is key to making sound real estate decisions.
