Cost of housing/living in Paraquay?

Hi, I do have the intention of moving to Paraquay in a couple of years or so, and like to know the cost of living etc.
How much would it cost to buy or build a small house? Since I am alone I wouldn't need a big one. Or is it better to buy/rent a flat?
Thanks for any advice.

Hello Micha,

Welcome to the board, you are not alone in your intentions.

I have never set foot in the country, but could see from social networks there is an important german speaking community in PY.

Regarding your inquiry, i am not looking to cross post in expat-blog pltaform, but here is a sugestion i have inserted on the French Section part [ at this adress - https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.p … 891#662806 ].

A very budget oriented housing solution at this adress :
http://www.keter.com.py/casa.html

Prices are presented as this :
"1 dormit-cocina-comedor y baño........G38.000.000
2 dormi..............................G 52.000.000
3dormit...............................................G 78.000.000 (con lavadero)"

i dont have any comercial purpose on this, this source was getted from this contractor - http://asuncionciudad.olx.com.py/le-ins … -249336498 - received a few pics and plan on my inbox today.

I hope im not alone, but it feels very much like the market in under a bubble, thus prices will most certainly be on the raise over the next years.

Dont be surprised when consulting some prices, a friendly American member from expat-blog, told me some locals evaluate real estate from similars buildings Europe ( so they look alike, they must cost alike ).

hope this was of some assistance for you.

Helo guys,

To who might interested, got a reply from the building company called Cyan and indicatea above. In terms of obtaining building permit and architect fees says this :

"nosotros con la firma del contrato le entregamos un bosquejo del proyecto, los planos arquitectonicos tienen un costo adicional, pero al realizar la obra tendrá un importante descuento. Los trámites municipales corren por cuenta del propietario. Estamos a disposición para reunirnos en la oficina para mostrarle el proyecto, imagenes de obras, además tenemos casas modelos que se pueden visitar

Aentamente"

Hope this helps.

Yeap,

sorry to overshare.

Another company proposing building starting from 13K€, check them out :

A rental situation will highly depend in terms of location, existence of agency or not ( comissions are high ).

Market is booming, people are starting to put the price to lodge in the Gran assuncion, as one can see from a local looking to lodge adds :

As prospective expat, will have to strugle to find me an interesting deal. Help from people already in place would be apreciated.
