What rental yield can you get in Asunción? Real 2026 returns

Yield is the question every investor asks before looking at any render: how much does this apartment return per year? Here is the real math in Asunción, using our catalogue of 406 units across 10 projects as a reference.

How rental yield is calculated

Gross annual yield is simple: (monthly rent × 12) ÷ apartment price. If a studio costs USD 46,200 and rents for USD 350 a month, that is USD 4,200 a year → a gross yield of roughly 9% in dollars.

That is the headline number, but what actually reaches your pocket is the net yield, after costs.

Gross vs net: what gets deducted

• Building fees: paid by the owner while the unit is empty and, depending on the lease, they reduce the net.
• Vacancy: the months without a tenant. A well-located, liquid unit (studio or 1-bedroom) sharply lowers this risk.
• Management and maintenance: management fee, repairs and property tax.

As a rule, in Asunción net yield runs between 5% and 7% a year in dollars for a well-located unit — competitive against a fixed deposit, with the asset appreciating in parallel.

Which unit types perform best

Studios and 1-bedroom units return the most: they cost less, rent faster and their rent per m² is higher than large units. They are also the easiest to resell — which is why they are the investor's preferred type.

Where units rent fastest

Rent is set by location: corporate, university and service areas concentrate demand. An apartment near offices, universities or malls has almost no vacancy.

Long-term vs short-term rental

Short-term rental (Airbnb-style) can push gross yield above long-term in high-turnover areas, but it demands more management and carries more vacancy. Annual rental pays less per month but is stable and nearly hands-off. Which one fits depends on the area and how involved you want to be.

The other half of the return: appreciation

Rent is only one part. The other is appreciation: buying off-plan and capturing the gap between the launch price and the finished-unit price adds a return that never shows up in the monthly yield.
