Finding consistent data on the real estate marketplace in Nicaragua is not easy: there is no fundamental database on the whole number of listing on the market; no representative sources that reports sales dealings; and no limitations to listing the similar property by special brokers at different prices.
For North American consumers used to Zillow-type house price facts and the niceties of a Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Nicaragua can consider like a scheme into the unknown.
But Nicaragua is not only in the area when it comes to weak price simplicity. Both Panama and Costa Rica were specified a “low transparency” score in the 2012 Global Real Estate Transparency Index, available by Jones Lang LaSalle. The catalog found that the need of available market data—both essentials and asset performance—was a common feature of the real estate landscape across Latin America as a whole.
