Buying Property in Paraguay: Steps & Signing the Contract

Buying an apartment in Paraguay is a relatively simple process when handled properly.

For a foreign investor, questions often revolve around the same topics: payment terms, documents to sign, the security of the transaction, and whether it is necessary to travel to the location.

The reality is that most of these steps can be carried out smoothly with the right support.

The goal is for you to be able to invest in Paraguay with a clear understanding of each step, from reserving the property to its delivery.

Booking Your Apartment

Once the project has been selected and the unit chosen, the first step is usually to reserve the property. Generally, the amount due is $1,000, but this is then deducted from the total amount when the deposit is paid.

This reservation allows you to definitively reserve the apartment in your name and lock in the price and terms negotiated with the developer.

For each project, the best units are sold first during the pre-launch phase, after which prices are raised. This stage marks the official start of the sales process.

The Real Estate Purchase Agreement

After the reservation is made, the developer prepares the contract documents.

The contract specifies, in particular:

  • the apartment's identification number,
  • the purchase price,
  • payment terms,
  • construction timelines,
  • delivery terms,
  • the commitments of the various parties.

Before signing any contract, it is essential to fully understand the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. We are here to help you negotiate the best purchase terms and protect your investment.

Payment Terms

Each developer offers its own payment terms.

When purchasing a pre-construction property, payments are generally spread out over several months or years while the project is under construction; this is known as the payment plan. It is, of course, negotiable—and even more so in Paraguay.

This flexibility often makes it possible to spread the investment over time while still benefiting from the project’s potential for appreciation before its completion.

The exact terms vary depending on the developer, the selected project, and the negotiations conducted during the acquisition.

FAQ - Purchasing and Signing in Paraguay

Yes, some real estate developers in Paraguay now accept cryptocurrency payments for the purchase of an apartment or other real estate property.

This possibility depends on the developer, the selected project, and the compliance procedures established during the transaction.

For investors who hold a portion of their assets in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or other digital assets, this solution can sometimes simplify the purchase process while avoiding certain international banking restrictions.

At Aura Capital, we can connect you with real estate projects in Paraguay that accept cryptocurrency payments.
