The numbers behind it
Guatapé has historically appreciated around 7-8% a year, which is not a prediction, with 5-9% rental yields on lakefront property. Buyer closing costs are about 2% of the price: 0.27% notary, 0.67% registration and 1% beneficencia. The highway has no opening date: the concession reverted July 31, 2026, and major works start late 2027 at the earliest.
