Why investing in new housing in Paraguay is still a good business in 2026

With a housing shortage of around a million homes and an economy that's relatively stable compared to the rest of the Southern Cone, Paraguay remains among the most attractive destinations in the region for investing in new housing. Structural demand still far outpaces the market's current construction capacity.

Buying off-plan or under construction usually allows for lower entry prices than a finished unit, with the option to finance part of the project in installments during construction. The risk, of course, lies in choosing well: the developer's reputation and track record on deadlines matter just as much as location.

On top of that, the market is becoming increasingly professionalized and geographically diverse: it's no longer all about Asunción. Ciudad del Este and Encarnación are gaining their own momentum, each with its own demand dynamics. At Asunova we bring together projects from verified developers in all three markets, so you can compare construction progress, price per m², and payment terms in one place.
