Puerto Viejo de Talamanca · Fact sheet
Checked 2026-09-18
Puerto Viejo: asking prices cover the marketed area, population covers Cahuita district. Median house asking price USD 295,000 from 57 priced records and 3 sources. INEC projects district growth through 2035. Asking prices, not sales.
Asking prices
On 18 September 2026 the sample held 57 house sale records for the Puerto Viejo marketed area from 3 advertising sources. All 57 carried a price at or above the USD 25,000 floor, and no exact repeat URLs were found. The median asking price was USD 295,000, with the middle half between USD 210,000 and USD 429,000. By band, 24 records were between USD 25,000 and 250,000, 22 between USD 250,000 and 500,000, 9 between USD 500,000 and 1,000,000, and 2 above USD 1,000,000. With only three sources this is a small sample, and the figures are asking prices, not sale prices.
Snapshot date
House asking prices come from sale listings recorded on the snapshot date. Exact repeat URLs are removed, but the same property advertised by different agencies may still appear more than once. Records with no price or below USD 25,000 are excluded. A median appears only when at least 12 priced records remain, unweighted. The middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile. These are asking prices, not transaction prices, and availability is not verified.
Population
INEC estimates the resident population of Cahuita district at 12,569 in 2016 and 14,170 in 2022. Its projection for 2026 is 15,129, a 20.4% change over ten years that joins an estimated starting point to a projected end point. For 2026 INEC projects 23.7% of district residents aged 0 to 14, 69.6% aged 15 to 64 and 6.7% aged 65 or older. These figures cover the whole Cahuita district, including Cahuita town and other settlements, not Puerto Viejo alone.
INEC projects the Cahuita district resident population to grow a further 13.2% between 2026 and 2035, from 15,129 to 17,129. Both figures are projections rather than counts, and they describe the district, not the town. Population projections say nothing about property prices.

Listing counts are records, not necessarily unique properties. Population figures cover the official administrative district named. Asking prices cover the geography stated in each market summary, which may be a marketed area rather than the district.
