A home in Paraguay. Sourced and represented on your behalf.

Yes. Paraguay grants foreigners the same property rights as citizens, with full freehold ownership in your own name — no nominee, no local partner, no residency requirement. Title is registered directly to you at the Dirección General de los Registros Públicos. The single exception is the 50 km border zone, which restricts nationals of bordering countries only (Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia).

In Carmelitas, Las Mercedes, Recoleta, Villa Morra and Manorá, new-build apartments generally run US$ 180k–900k depending on size, tower and finish level. Premium houses sit in the US$ 350k–2.5m band, with the upper end reflecting larger lots in Manorá and Villa Morra. Penthouses and trophy houses can exceed those ranges but are exceptions, not the market.

Yes, but it is famously low. The Impuesto Inmobiliario is 1% of the fiscal value of the property, assessed annually by the municipality. Fiscal values typically lag market values significantly, so effective tax on a US$ 500k home is usually a few hundred dollars per year. There is no separate national wealth tax on real estate.

Paraguayan law restricts ownership within 50 km of an international border for nationals of neighbouring countries — specifically Brazilian, Argentine and Bolivian citizens. It does not apply to nationals from outside the region: Americans, Europeans, British, Canadians and other non-bordering nationals may buy freely in border areas, subject to standard title and zoning checks.

From signed offer to registered title, expect roughly four to eight weeks for a clean transaction. Due diligence and title search take one to two weeks, the escritura pública is signed before a notary once funds and documents are in place, and registry inscription typically follows within a few weeks. Complex titles or estate sales can extend the timeline.

Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign owners letting their property, long-term or short-term. Rental income is taxed under Paraguay's territorial regime at modest rates, and many owners route rentals through a local SRL for accounting cleanliness. We can introduce vetted property managers in Asunción, San Bernardino and Encarnación for hands-off ownership.

We work primarily as buy-side advisors. We do not run a public MLS-style listings book; instead we source on-mandate from developers, private owners and a curated network of local brokers, then negotiate and shepherd the transaction. This keeps incentives aligned with the buyer rather than with moving a particular listing. Selective sell-side mandates are accepted case by case.

Title risk is manageable but real, and concentrated in older or rural parcels. The escritura is executed by a public notary under Ley 1307/87, with notary fees of 0.75–2% of declared value, then inscribed at the public registry. We commission an independent title study — chain of title, liens, succession, boundary survey — before any funds move, which is where most issues surface.

An SRL (sociedad de responsabilidad limitada) is a common ownership vehicle, especially for clients holding multiple properties, planning rental income, or coordinating estate planning across heirs. It adds setup and annual accounting cost but simplifies transfers and can ring-fence liability. For a single residence used personally, direct ownership is usually cleaner. We walk through both structures before closing.

The bulk of our residential work sits between US$ 300k and US$ 1.5m — premium Asunción apartments, family houses in Villa Morra and Las Mercedes, and lake homes around San Bernardino and Areguá. We also handle country estates from US$ 400k up to roughly US$ 5m. Below US$ 250k we generally refer out; the advisory model doesn't fit smaller tickets.
