How to invest in off-plan apartments in Paraguay — 2026 Guide
Buying "off-plan" means buying an apartment while it is still under construction, directly from the developer. It is the most common way to invest in property in Paraguay, and the reason is simple: the entry price is the lowest of the whole building cycle.
How payment works
The typical scheme in Asunción is a down payment of around 20% and the balance in monthly installments directly with the developer during construction — no bank, no credit file and none of the interest of a mortgage. When construction finishes, you pay the final balance (or refinance it depending on the project) and receive the keys.
The capital-gain math
An off-plan studio in our catalogue starts at USD 38,900 (for example at PORTA 06, near Pinedo Shopping). Equivalent finished units sell from USD 65,000. That gap between the off-plan price and the finished-unit price is the capital gain you capture by getting in early — on top of locking the price in US dollars while you pay in installments.
How to choose a project and developer
- Delivery track record: prioritise developers with buildings already delivered (we work with INARCO, Avanza and RIZ, all with completed, verifiable projects).
- Location with rental demand: corporate, university or services areas — that defines your future rent.
- Liquid layout: studios and 1-bedroom units are the easiest to rent and resell in Asunción.
- Price per m² vs the market: ask us for the comparison — it is part of our proposal.
Risks and how they are mitigated
The main risk of off-plan is construction delay or non-completion. It is mitigated by choosing serious developers, reviewing the contract (delay and exit clauses) and visiting the site — we handle all of that, including by video call if you invest from abroad.
