Payment structure and installment payment plans

Buying off-plan follows a staged financial model: the down payment (which can be split into a few installments using a payment plan), monthly installments during construction, annual or semi-annual balloon payments, and the payment of the remaining balance upon handover of the keys. The final balance can be settled in cash, through bank financing, or via installments paid directly to the developer.

During the construction phase, the outstanding balance is adjusted by INCC (Brazil's national construction cost index). It is worth noting that down payment installments do not change the total price of the property, but simply redistribute remaining amounts into future installments or the final balance. Understand in detail how down payments in installments work before deciding on your offer.

Balneário Camboriú real estate market indicators

According to the September 2026 FipeZap index, Balneário Camboriú registered an average price of R$15,369 per square meter, reflecting a 3.38% positive variation over 12 months. This indicator considers listings for both new and existing properties across the entire city. Based on DWV data published by Portas portal on 01/30/2026, the municipality grew 30% in Gross Development Value (GDV) in 2025, driven by the highest average transaction values in the country, recording 3,239 launched units within a land-constrained market.

On the regional stage, Santa Catarina's north coast (comprising Balneário Camboriú, Itapema, Itajaí, and Porto Belo) achieved approximately R$13.47 billion in GDV in 2025, with over 9,000 units sold. Keep in mind that past appreciation does not represent a promise of future gains. In markets with new launches, future supply volume also impacts resale pricing.

Property transfer taxes and costs in Balneário Camboriú

Beyond the property price, buyers must budget for the costs of buying off-plan property. In Balneário Camboriú, the standard rate for ITBI (the municipal property transfer tax) is 3%, as set out in Article 16 of Balneário Camboriú Law 5.318/2026. Municipal legislation provides reduced rates for specific cases, such as a 1% rate when transferring property into a company's corporate capital, a rule sanctioned on 08/03/2026.

Legal security and contract diligence

Before signing a contract, verify that the development complies with legal requirements. Under Law 4.591/1964, selling off-plan units requires prior development registration at the Real Estate Registry. The use of segregated assets (patrimônio de afetação under Law 10.931/2004) guarantees the separation of project funds from the developer's general finances. Furthermore, Law 13.786/2018 requires a contractual summary of terms, permits a construction delay grace period of up to 180 days, and regulates maximum retention caps in case of contract cancellation (distrato). Deepen your analysis by reviewing how to choose an off-plan development.

Acquisition for overseas investors and foreign residents

Foreign citizens and non-resident Brazilians can purchase urban real estate in Brazil using a CPF tax ID card. The process can be handled entirely remotely, using a public power of attorney or electronic signatures validated by the developer. Lisbon time is 3 to 4 hours ahead of Brasília time, depending on the time of year. Check the details in the guide to buying property in Brazil while living abroad.
