The cost of investing in Asunción: prices and real expenses
The eleven deals Atlas Oikos has guided in Asunción ranged from 33,200 to 58,900 dollars in purchase price, with floor areas of 23 to 33 m². Taxes and deed costs come on top before calculating any yield.
In short
- Price range: deals closed in Asunción were transacted in US dollars.
- Floor areas: 23 to 33 m², mostly studios and lofts in towers.
- Delivery: from immediate through to 2029, depending on finished or off-plan.
- Yield stated: 10% to 14% net according to the developer. Indicative, not guaranteed.
- Currency: US dollars.
What has to be added to the price
The purchase price is not the outlay. Transfer taxes, notary fees, registration and, in units delivered unfurnished, the furnishing, which in rental-oriented product is not optional, all add up.
New build or finished unit
The difference is calendar and risk. A finished unit is paid for and occupied, and starts generating income sooner. An off-plan unit stages payments through to delivery, which lowers the initial effort but introduces developer risk and delays the first income by two or three years.
Our inventory contains both: there are immediate deliveries and deliveries announced through to 2029.
What yield is advertised and how to read it
The listings state developer-declared net yields between 10% and 14%, in some cases with two years guaranteed by the developer itself. Three necessary clarifications: it is a developer figure, not an independent verification; a two-year guarantee is a contractual commitment from the developer and is worth whatever the developer is worth; and an advertised net yield rarely includes every owner cost.
The right way to use it is as a starting point to check against actual local rents, not as an input to a spreadsheet.
What determines whether a flat rents in Asunción
The location within the city, above all proximity to workplaces and study centres; the type, because a small studio has a different audience from a family apartment; and the level of equipment, which in urban rental sets the price difference.
