Why invest in Paraguay?

Six structural advantages that make Paraguay one of the most attractive markets in the region for real estate investors.

100% dollarized

Purchase and rental contracts are denominated in USD. Your investment and returns are protected from local inflation.

Constant appreciation

The price per square meter in Asunción grew an average of 6-8% per year over the last decade. Premium neighborhoods already exceed USD 2,000/m².

Secure legal framework

Foreigners have the same rights as Paraguayan citizens to buy, sell and rent properties without restrictions.
