Cómo Funciona

From listing to published data — our process

Every month, our team goes through a structured survey process to capture, verify, and publish rental market data for Paraguay. Here's how it works.

The Process

How we build the monthly data update

Our survey process follows a consistent structure each month to ensure the data we publish is as current and representative as possible.

1
Portal access and listing capture
At the start of each monthly cycle, our team accesses the main real estate portals operating in Paraguay. We capture active rental listings — properties currently advertised for rent — and record the asking price, neighborhood, property type, size where available, and furnishing status.
2
Classification by zone and type
Each listing is classified by neighborhood or zone, property type (apartment or house), number of bedrooms, and whether the property is furnished or unfurnished. This allows us to build comparable data sets that make the price ranges meaningful rather than averaged across very different properties.
3
Range calculation and outlier review
From the classified data, we calculate price ranges for each zone and property type. We review outliers — listings that appear significantly above or below the cluster — to determine whether they represent genuine market exceptions or data errors. We document our decisions.
4
Legal content review
Separately, our legal content team reviews any changes to standard contract formats or guarantee requirements that may have occurred during the period. If changes are identified, the relevant guides are updated to reflect current practice.
5
Internal verification
Before publication, a second team member reviews the data independently. This step catches classification errors, calculation mistakes, and any ranges that look inconsistent with prior months without a clear market explanation.
6
Publication and archiving
Verified data is published on the platform with the current month's date. Previous data is archived so users can see how ranges have moved over time. The calculator tool is updated with the new figures at the same time.
Data Sources

Where the data comes from

Our data comes exclusively from active rental listings on publicly accessible Paraguayan real estate portals. We do not use private transaction data, agency databases, or any source that is not publicly visible.

This approach has a specific limitation that we are transparent about: listing prices represent what landlords are asking, not necessarily what tenants end up paying. In practice, the final agreed rent may be lower — especially in a slower market or for longer lease terms.

We believe this is still the most useful reference point available. Listing prices set the starting point for negotiations, and knowing where that starting point typically falls gives both parties a meaningful advantage.

A note on coverage

Not all neighborhoods have enough active listings each month to produce statistically meaningful ranges. In those cases, we note the limited sample size and recommend treating the figures as rough orientation rather than reliable benchmarks.

Limitations

What our data does not tell you

We believe in being explicit about the boundaries of our data so users can apply it appropriately.

No. We capture listing prices — the asking price at the time of publication on the portal. Final agreed prices between landlord and tenant are private and not publicly available. In practice, there is often a gap between the two, particularly for higher-priced properties or in slower market conditions.

No. Our coverage is limited to areas where there are enough active listings on the portals we survey to produce meaningful ranges. Some neighborhoods, particularly in smaller cities or rural areas, do not generate enough listing volume for us to publish reliable data.

Our data can provide context for a conversation about rent levels, but it is not a legally recognized reference for rent disputes in Paraguay. For formal disputes, consult a lawyer or the relevant Paraguayan regulatory bodies. Our data is informational, not legal evidence.

Our data is updated monthly. Between updates, the figures on the site reflect the most recent survey. In a fast-moving market, a two-to-four week gap between the data and current conditions is possible. We always display the month and year of the most recent update so users can assess relevance.
