The Demographics of Paraguay Can’t Be Ignored

This week’s issue is packed with insights, and if you care about owning hard assets in a country with real long-term potential, this is one you don’t want to skim. And of course, what would Paraguay Potential be without a Deal of the Week offer?

Even if you’re just starting to consider planting a flag in Paraguay, you’ll soon understand why this country is one of the top choices for adventurous, unconventional investors like us to protect and secure our futures. 

Let’s get into it.

What a Young and Eager Population Means for Paraguay’s Future

If you're looking at where to place capital into a specific market, where via a cashing flowing asset, or a longer term hard equity play, I am going to discuss one demographic trend is one of the most critical and most ignored factors to understand when it comes to long-term investing, or maximizing your monthly real estate returns. 

Countries with young, expanding populations are the ones that thrive. 

Over 50% of the population in Paraguay is under 30, with a median age of just 29; nearly 10 years younger than the U.S. and 15 - 20 years younger than Germany, Italy, or Japan.

This matters to you because a young population means a growing middle class, an expanding workforce, and better wages, ultimately leading to a stable tax base.

When more Paraguayans enter the economy as consumers, homeowners, and entrepreneurs, the implications are vast, especially when it comes to the demand for real estate. 

Unlike aging nations where fewer workers are supporting more retirees, Paraguay’s youthful demographic means a steady, long-term fiscal stability.

We are already seeing the effects of Paraguay’s youth on the economy by way of massive urban expansion. 

Cities like Ciudad del Este are booming because young people are moving in, working, and driving demand for housing, commercial spaces, restaurants, and infrastructure.

For both residential and commercial real estate investors, this means consistent demand for rentals.

For those seeking long-term economic stability, this means an economy that’s positioned for sustainable growth for decades to come.

Paraguay’s future isn’t just strong… It’s inevitable.

While most countries, especially those in the “first world,” are experiencing declining birth rates and shrinking workforces, Paraguay is the exact opposite.

It’s a domestically built engine that is running on all 8 cylinders.

A young population means more spending, building, family formation, and business creation.

It means that instead of relying on imported labour or increased immigration to fill economic gaps, Paraguay’s growth is coming from the inside.

Who knows, a generation ago, these very youth could have been packing their bags for Argentina or Brazil in search of more opportunities, however, these days, the youth of Paraguay aren’t leaving, because they can see the grass getting greener… the country is on a major upward trajectory and the opportunities to be had are vast.

They’re staying and they’re building.

And this is exactly why Paraguay’s real estate market isn’t fuelled by international buyers or expats looking for vacation homes that will sit empty when they aren’t in town.

It’s about domestic demand.

If you want to know where to place capital that grows as the country grows, you want to be in a place where the demographic curve is working for you, not against you, like it is in many countries.  

You want to be where the average age is rising into peak productivity, not declining into dependency.

This isn’t just a young population.

It’s a young, stable, and increasingly ambitious population, and that’s the kind of demographic that gives offshore investors real staying power in the years to come.

Globalization Has Rewritten the Rules… And Paraguay’s Youth Is Ready

We’re living in a time where the playing field has been levelled in a way most people still don’t fully grasp.

For decades, centuries even, the best economic opportunities in the world were reserved for people born in the “right” countries. 

If you weren’t American, Canadian, European, or part of a small elite in Asia, your odds of accessing global capital, high-paying jobs, or scalable business infrastructure were slim to none.

But today, everything has changed.

Remote work, distributed teams, global hiring marketplaces…. aka location-independent income streams.

Suddenly, the world isn’t centralized in a few key “fortunate” regions anymore.

Talent, productivity, and innovation can come from anywhere.

And in Paraguay, a generation of young people is waking up to this reality and leaning into it hard.

They’re working remotely for international companies.

They’re freelancing on platforms like Upwork, and they are beginning to understand their worth. 

But what is most powerful isn’t just what they’re doing…. it’s how they see the world.

For many of these young Paraguayans, there’s a fire burning.

There’s a chip on their shoulder.

They’re fully aware that, historically, opportunity passed their country by.

They know their parents and grandparents weren’t starting the game with a great hand.

But now… the cards they are starting with are worthy of playing. 

When opportunity meets ambition, prosperity follows, and when prosperity rises, so does spending…

Houses are purchased.

Spending goes up. 

We’re not talking about an artificial rush from external capital or government handouts.

We’re talking about an economy that is being powered by a genuine middle class, and it’s growing in real time.

This is the future of Paraguay.

And if you think investing in a country powered by a generation hungry to prove itself on the global stage sounds like a good long-term move, you’d be correct.

Betting on Paraguay’s population is an exceptional move and is one I have personally already made. 

Deal of the Week: Early Access to Cash Flow in Paraguay’s Fastest-Growing District

Just recently, someone from the Expat Money community secured a rare opportunity inside the Concept Tower, a 104-unit, mixed-use development in Ciudad del Este that’s already shaping up to be one of the most important buildings in the region.

While the residential tower itself won’t be delivered until April 2026, the commercial units inside the building will be ready much earlier, meaning the right investor could start earning cash flow before the tower is even completed.

And that’s exactly what happened a couple of weeks back. 

The investor who closed the deal is now set to begin earning income as early as next month.

My partner, Fernando (yes, the developer himself), is renting the space back from them to use it as a showroom for his real estate projects.

They worked out a deal that provides the investor with a clean 8% return, right out of the gate.

That means a guaranteed cash flow every single month, without any headaches.

Unlike residential rentals, where occupancy rates fluctuate, commercial leases mean 100% occupancy. 

Now here’s where things get interesting for you…

We’re about to replicate this model at the Soho.

The Soho project is scheduled for full delivery in December 2026; however, similar to Concept Tower, the commercial premises can be delivered one year earlier, in December 2025.

And right now inside the Soho, there is a 133m² ground-floor commercial unit with your name on it that is available exclusively for members of the Expat Money Community for just $149,500 USD.

This commercial property is literally in the middle of the biggest growth region in all of Paraguay.

It should go without saying that this space is going to be rented quickly and for a premium rate.

Here’s why this space is going to fetch a pretty penny from a high-end commercial tenant (location, location, location): 

30 meters from a major university with 5,000+ students on-site every day

20 meters from the Dazzler by Wyndham Hotel

Across the street from the largest pharmacy in the country

And across the street is a now-vacant piece of land… without giving too much away, I will mention that this lot won’t be vacant for long…

The foot traffic is major - I am talking about guaranteed traffic from students, business travellers, daily shoppers, hotel guests, and commuters… all within a 1-minute walk of this commercial unit.

This is an opportunity to acquire a cash-flowing commercial asset in an area that is well on its way to becoming the area’s hottest district.

As an early investor, you’ll be able to:

Lock in pre-completion pricing

Negotiate tenant agreements ahead of delivery

Start cash flowing up to a year before the rest of the building is ready

Whether you’re looking to establish a hands-off income stream or want to plant a commercial flag in one of the fastest-developing corridors of Ciudad del Este, this is one of the cleanest and most straightforward ways to get in on the action.

The Concept Tower model has already been proven, and now it’s time to duplicate it at The Soho.

Now, the only question that remains is whether you will be the savvy investor who seizes this opportunity…

Reach out directly to Fernando at expat@greenparana.com to get the conversation going.

Be sure to include the word SOHO in the subject line so Fernando knows that you’re interested and can prioritize your inquiry.

Like always, this won’t last long. Send Fernando a message now, or you’ll miss out. 

With Global Conditions Sliding, Paraguay Looks Better and Better

Let’s zoom out for a second.

I know most of the people reading this newsletter aren’t just looking for a simple real estate deal.

You’re here because something doesn’t feel right anymore in your home country, and you have doubts (very valid doubts, I must add) that the system you trusted with your entire life is going to hold up under the pressures of what is coming.

You thought that if you did things “by the book,” your future would be secure. 

You thought working for 30 or 40 years meant being able to carry yourself through into retirement…

Well, newsflash…. This was a reality of the past.

We are no longer living in the same system that our parents or grandparents forged for us. 

Governments are becoming more aggressive with their financial controls and spending.

Inflation is out of control and far from being tamed.

Regulations are expanding faster than our rights are being stripped from us.

And even the “safe haven, easy” countries are becoming pricier, tighter, and less friendly than they were even just 5 or 10 years ago. 

Meanwhile... Paraguay just keeps doing what it does best.

It feeds itself.

It powers itself.

It doesn’t pick fights.

It doesn’t overreach.

It doesn’t punish success.

All while having a cost and standard of living that is still a fraction of what you’d find in most of Latin America.

Real estate is still undervalued.

The government is still pro-business and hands-off.

If you’re trying to move part of your wealth offshore, you want to be in a country that isn’t constantly shifting the rules.

If you’re trying to secure a second residency, you want to be somewhere that doesn’t treat foreigners like walking wallets.

If you’re buying land, you want to know that what you build on it won’t be subject to a dozen new tax schemes five years from now.

It’s not just a Plan-B country.

It’s a Plan-B county that actually works. 

If the system in your home country starts to squeeze a little harder,  if (when) taxes go up, if controls get tighter, if the financial “freedoms” you once took for granted start to disappear it helps to know you’ve already planted a flag somewhere that still believes in letting people live, build, and keep what’s theirs.
