Banco Popular y de Desarrollo Comunal is offering substantial discounts – up to 65% off appraised value – on a portfolio of homes, lots, and repossessed properties as of March 2026, with financing options available that could cover the full cost of the property.
The bank’s March 2026 catalog includes properties located throughout the country, available for purchase through a direct offer process. Financing is available with terms extending up to 360 months, and without commission fees for formalization or early exit. Appraisals are also waived as part of the financing package. Interest rates for loans in Costa Rican colones are based on the current Basic Passive Rate, while dollar-denominated loans are priced at the Prime Rate plus three percentage points.
Several properties are highlighted for their particularly low prices or significant discounts. These include a lot in Santiago de Puriscal, a property/parking space in Hatillo, San José, a property in Desamparados, Damas, a property in San Carlos, Monterrey, and a property in Abangares, Colorado. The property in Abangares, Colorado, is offered with a discount approaching 65% off its appraised value.
Prospective buyers are required to submit an offer through an official Banco Popular form, accompanied by a copy of their identification card (or legal person documentation for companies), identification of the legal representative (if applicable), and a 1% deposit of the sale price as a guarantee. Offers can be submitted via email to [email protected] or delivered in a sealed envelope to the nearest Banco Popular branch, up to two days before the bidding closes.
Banco Popular stated that all properties are sold in their current physical condition, as detailed in the property file, cadastral plan, and information from the National Registry. The bank’s participation in the ExpoConstrucción 2026, which ran from March 4th to 8th at the Centro de Eventos Pedregal, featured similar financing options and digital tools for potential homebuyers, including credit quote calculators and online registration.
The bank also announced at ExpoConstrucción 2026 that We see offering financing of up to 100% of the project value, with preferential conditions and specialized advice. This initiative aims to remove the barrier of the down payment for many potential homeowners. Banco Popular had two stands at the event, equipped with self-service digital kiosks to facilitate the application process.
As of March 6, 2026, the prices, discounts, and availability of properties are subject to change, according to Banco Popular.
