The Lago Llanquihue basin continues to attract buyers from outside the region, yet each municipality plays a distinct role: Puerto Varas leads growth and in-migration; Frutillar carries a heritage premium with an older population; Llanquihue requires a clear read of pending infrastructure. The v0 index ranks sectors by investment profile—not by listing price.
