The conclusion of the survey by Zonaprop and the two panels of brokers is that property prices will continue to rise. Leandro Molina, director of classifieds for Grupo QuintoAndar, owner of Zonaprop, reported that, in the first six months of the year, apartment listing prices increased 4.4%, with owners looking to sell and buyers approving the price increases. "Today, an ad in Buenos Aires City lasts an average of 71 days," the executive explained, sharing a nugget of information: "Within the northern corridor of Buenos Aires, there are almost no three-bedroom apartments under US$200,000 ."
Gabriela Goldszer, director of Ocampo Properties, highlighted the movement of apartments. "We're seeing record numbers ," she stated.
Along these same lines, Diego Cazes, director of LJ Ramos, highlighted the repeal of the rental law as a milestone, "which is now history, but it's key: a rental generates an annual income of 5% in dollars. That's no small feat ."

Miguel Ludmer, president of Interwin, added that the end user is returning to the used market , "somewhat leveraged by a still-nascent credit system, but it has helped, especially for smaller units. Sales are also being made, because prices have lagged in relative terms compared to the cost of construction."
Fabián Narvaez, president of the real estate agency of the same name, added that "the seller doesn't allow for haggling, which is why the negotiation margin on a used or new property is 5% or even zero . There are cases in which the transaction is completed without lowering the price. This accelerates the decision-making process, because there's no room for lowering the price, and the consumer doesn't want to lose the property and makes a deal ."
When asked about bricks and mortar as a safe haven, Facundo de Achával, director of Toribio Achával, explained that people always seek refuge in bricks and mortar. "There is a segment of the population that, whenever they have a little money saved up, either decides to add square footage to their home or leans toward paying off a loan or a 'small installment' to gradually acquire more assets," he said.
Colegiales is one of the areas that stood out with potential. Rodrigo Nespolo
When talking about areas, he highlighted the potential of Saavedra and Colegiales, "because it's a young area that's easily accessible from the northern corridor and also a quick commute to the city center ." Ludmer also focused on Núñez: "The new development stretches from Avenida Congreso toward General Paz. Everything is developing there, and we're seeing really good demand; we're pleasantly surprised."
In the northern zone, Maipú Avenue is gaining prominence . Until 10 years ago, major development projects in the northern zone were concentrated mainly along Libertador Avenue. Maximiliano D'Aria, director of the real estate company of the same name, explained that this has changed: "With the arrival of the Metrobus, more modern developments with commercial areas began to emerge. Today, it's a highly sought-after corridor."
Narvaez also clarified that another reason for this resurgence in the Maipú corridor is that "available land is scarce in Libertador, and in Maipú, regulations allow for greater height possibilities; they are more generous, and this leads to greater development and an economic advantage for developers."

On the other hand, having cheaper tickets allows for greater access to mortgage loans than Libertador. However, this corridor has not only added residential projects, but also commercial ones. "Today we see very different facades of commercial and gastronomic offerings than before," said Santiago Mieres, director of the real estate agency that bears his name.
The broker added that, in addition to that avenue, supply in areas such as Vicente López, Olivos, La Lucila, Martínez, Acasusso, and San Isidro is driven by credit demand. However, he clarified that mortgage lending is currently in a cooling phase, with longer terms, higher rates, and less money granted, so they are becoming more restrictive.
