Investing in Real Estate in Paraguay: Complete Guide for Brazilians in 2025

Why is Paraguai the favorite destination of two Brazilian investors?

Paraguay has consolidated itself as one of the two most attractive real estate markets in South America. With the continent's lowest tax burden, economic stability and direct border with Brazil, the country offers unique opportunities for those seeking to diversify assets.

According to Central Bank of Paraguay, GDP has grown consistently over the last 10 years, with an average of 4.2% year-on-year — exceeding the regional average. This growth directly drives real estate valorization, especially in Assunção and interior cities.

Principais vantagens fiscais

Renda Pessoal Tax: barely 10% — two minors in the world
IRACIS (Business Income Tax): 10%
Sem imposto sobre herança
Sem tax on remittance of profits abroad
ITBI (Transferência de imóveis): barely 2%

For a Brazilian investor accustomed to the national tax burden, the difference is extraordinary. An apartment in Assunção with a rent of USD 800/month has a profit tax of just USD 80 — against USD 224 in Brazil.

The most valued regions

Assunção — Capital and Business Center

Recoleta, Villa Morra and Las Lomas are the premium neighborhoods. Modern apartments cost between USD 60,000 and USD 200,000 and return on rent between 6% and 9% per year.

Grande Assunção — Urban Expansion

Luque, São Lourenço and Lambaré offer excellent customer-benefit. Houses and duplexes between USD 50,000 and USD 120,000, with increasing demand per location.

Financing and exchange

Most transactions are at sight in dollars. The favorable exchange rate of guarani (PYG) in relation to the Brazilian real becomes a particularly interesting moment — properties that cost USD 80,000 represent approximately R$ 480,000 at the current exchange rate.

Paraguayan banks also offer financing for foreigners with residence, with taxes between 9% and 13% per year in guaranis.

Conclusion

Paraguay offers a rare combination: political stability, economic growth, low taxes and still very competitive real estate prices. For the Brazilian investor, it is an opportunity to diversify assets in strong currencies with consistent returns.
