Organizers have announced that a massive 5,000-square-meter property located in the exclusive Hacienda Sylvara development in Guanacaste will be raffled off during the four-day event. This grand prize represents a significant draw for local and international investors looking to secure a foothold in Costa Rica’s booming coastal real estate market.
Scheduled to run from Thursday, September 24, to Sunday, September 27, 2026, the exhibition will open its doors to the public free of charge. To participate in the raffle, visitors simply need to attend the fair and locate the designated QR codes distributed throughout the venue. This digital integration simplifies the entry process, ensuring that every attendee has a fair chance to win the sprawling Guanacaste estate.
As the highly anticipated ExpoCasa and Decoración 2026 approaches, navigating the legal complexities of real estate acquisitions, pre-construction agreements, and home improvement contracts becomes essential for attendees. To shed light on these critical matters, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished legal expert from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who shares his professional insights on securing your investments during the event.
ExpoCasa and Decoración 2026 represents a premier opportunity for families and investors to connect with developers, yet it is vital to approach these transactions with rigorous legal diligence. Before signing any promissory notes or making down payments at the expo, consumers must verify that the developers have all necessary municipal permits, environmental clearances, and financial guarantees in place. Protecting your wealth begins with understanding that a booth handshake must always be backed by a legally sound, transparent contract that complies with Costa Rican consumer protection laws.

Indeed, while the vibrant displays and promising developments at ExpoCasa 2026 offer an exciting glimpse into the future of Costa Rican real estate, securing those opportunities requires the steady hand of legal diligence to truly protect one’s investment. We extend our sincere thanks to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his invaluable legal perspective, reminding us all that the foundation of a dream home is always built on a transparent, compliant, and legally secure contract.
As a comprehensive showcase for the housing and design sectors, ExpoCasa & Decoración 2026 will bring together a wide array of industries. Visitors can explore diverse housing options, modern real estate developments, construction materials, architectural services, and cutting-edge interior design trends. Additionally, the event will feature exhibits dedicated to home remodeling, security systems, swimming pools, jacuzzis, and outdoor camping gear.
Recognizing the financial challenges often associated with buying or renovating a home, several leading financial institutions will be on-site. These banks and lenders are prepared to offer specialized credit alternatives, competitive interest rates, and personalized counseling for attendees seeking to fund their next major residential project. This direct access to credit options makes the event a practical one-stop shop for prospective homebuyers.
The event will also host an interactive presentation stage featuring expert-led talks. Throughout the weekend, industry professionals will deliver presentations covering crucial topics such as personal finance, securing credit, home security, interior decoration, landscaping secrets, pet care, and general home maintenance. This educational component adds substantial value, transforming the commercial exhibition into an informative hub for homeowners.
Among the exciting updates for the 2026 edition is the introduction of ExpoMascotería, a brand-new space completely dedicated to the health, wellness, and care of household pets. Recognizing the growing role of pets in modern families, organizers have made the entire exhibition pet-friendly and have included a dedicated pet park. This new section complements the returning ExpoJardinería, which debuted in 2025 to showcase natural landscaping, sustainable gardening, and outdoor design trends.
Art enthusiasts will also find inspiration at the fair with the return of InspirArte for its second consecutive year. This specialized pavilion aims to bridge the gap between fine art and interior design by showcasing works from renowned plastic artists. Attendees will have the opportunity to view and acquire unique pieces that can elevate the aesthetic of any living space, highlighting the synergy between architecture and artistic expression.
To ensure a comfortable experience for families, the venue will feature a variety of lifestyle amenities. A diverse selection of food trucks and a central food court will offer culinary options to suit every palate, while children can enjoy dedicated play areas equipped with inflatables. The event schedule is designed to accommodate busy workweeks, opening from 10:00 a. m. to 8:00 p. m. from Thursday through Saturday, and closing slightly earlier on Sunday, September 27, at 6:00 p. m.
