The average price of renting an apartment in November in the city of Buenos Aires increased by 2.2% compared to October; the Agronomía neighborhood saw the largest price increaseIgnacio Sanchez



Published rental prices continue to rise above inflation. In the last 12 months, the values of new contracts accumulated a 35.6% increase , a percentage above inflation, which soared to 31% in the same period, but below the ICL adjustment (40%), the Central Bank index used to adjust increases in contracts signed under the old law. These figures were reflected in the latest Zonaprop report



In the monthly comparison, the average price of renting an apartment in November, in the city of Buenos Aires, suffered an increase of 2.2% compared to October .



One of the variables that influenced price dynamics was supply, which fluctuated considerably since 2023, reaching a historic low in February of that year. In 2024, after the repeal of the Rental Law , supply in the City of Buenos Aires increased by 62% compared to the previous month. In November of this year, supply fell by 1.3%, still remaining three times higher than the historic low.
