Meanwhile, the square meter of housing stood at US$1,777 in May. It increased by 0.6% in the fifth month of the year, and has accumulated a 3.1% increase so far in 2025. Looking at the last 12 months, the increase was 4.9%.



Thus, a two-bedroom home with 170 m² has an average price of US$292,887 , while a three-bedroom home with 260 m² is priced at US$476,269.



If we analyze the neighborhoods, Palermo has the most expensive housing stock, with an average price of US$3,451 per square meter. Belgrano (US$2,733/square meter) and Recoleta (US$2,412/square meter) are on the top three.

While in the case of apartments, the neighborhoods vary: Puerto Madero leads the ranking, with US$6,146 per square meter. It is followed by Palermo (US$3,383/m2) and Núñez (US$3,226/m2).

Why are apartments rising more than houses?

What's interesting about the analysis is that, although both properties—houses and apartments—increased in price, houses saw a much lower increase than apartments. More specifically, the price per square meter of houses is 36% lower than that of apartments .



In this regard, Diego Cazes, general manager of LJ Ramos, believes that demand for homes has significantly decreased: “The profile of today's buyers tends to be between 35 and 55 years old. This segment often prioritizes buildings with amenities, such as a pool, gym, and common areas. Furthermore, after the pandemic, many people opted to return to buying weekend homes in the suburbs, especially in areas like Pilar or Nordelta.”
