Key numbers, Q4 2026
| Hacienda Pinilla | Reserva Conchal | |
|---|---|---|
| Homes analyzed | 13 | 6 |
| Median price per sq ft | $472 (≈ $5,081/m²) | $482 (≈ $5,188/m²) |
| Range per sq ft | $254 – $816 | $406 – $830 |
| Median asking price | $2,750,000 | $3,072,500 |
1. The medians are almost identical
Buyers often assume Reserva Conchal carries a premium. Per square foot, the two communities sit within $10 of each other. Conchal’s higher median total price comes from newer construction and one branded residence, not from a higher price per foot across the board.
2. Hacienda Pinilla has the wider spread
Pinilla ranges from $254 to $816 per sq ft, more than three times from bottom to top. Large estates such as Mareas I land near the bottom, while ocean-view homes in smaller enclaves like Coralis reach the top. Inside Pinilla, the enclave matters more than the community name.
3. Branding carries a clear premium
The W6 Residence at W Costa Rica sits around $830/sq ft, roughly 72% above Conchal’s median. Without it, Conchal’s range is a tight $406 – $543.
4. New supply is arriving in Conchal
Half of the Conchal homes in this sample deliver in 2027. Pre-construction gives buyers more choice on finishes and payment schedules, and usually a lower price than a finished resale home.

What this means for buyers
- Compare at the enclave level. Two homes in the same community can differ by more than $400 per sq ft.
- Check price per square foot before the view wins you over. It is the quickest way to see whether a home is priced in line with its neighbors.
- Weigh new construction against resale. Pre-construction in Conchal and finished homes in Pinilla often land at similar prices per foot, with very different timelines.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reserva Conchal more expensive than Hacienda Pinilla?
Not per square foot. In our Q4 2026 sample the median asking price was $482/sq ft in Reserva Conchal and $472/sq ft in Hacienda Pinilla, a gap of about 2%. Conchal homes have a higher median total price ($3,072,500 vs. $2,750,000) because they tend to be newer and the sample includes a W-branded residence.
Why do some large homes have a lower price per square foot?
Price per square foot usually falls as size grows, because land, views and location inside the community drive value more than extra built area. Very large estates like Mareas I (12,917 sq ft) come in near $254/sq ft.
