With the start of 2026, the Buenos Aires real estate market entered a new phase . After the accumulated increases during 2024 and 2025, sales prices are maintaining a more stable dynamic .
In January, the average price per square meter in the city of Buenos Aires was US$2,450 , virtually unchanged since October 2015, according to the latest Zonaprop report. Meanwhile, over the last 12 months, the increase was 4.75% .
The slowdown in recent months hasn't detracted from the overall annual performance. For experts, 2025 was a "good transition year," and the numbers confirm this . With 69,461 deeds signed in the city, it fell just short of the target of 70,000 transactions and ranked as the fifth best year in the last 27. Year-on-year growth was 26.8% compared to 2024 , which closed with 54,770 deeds, according to the Buenos Aires Notary Association.
Looking ahead to 2026, most analysts rule out further declines and anticipate moderate upward adjustments . Many stocks are already at a technical floor, especially those in well-located, high-quality properties.
The determining factor will be mortgage lending. Diego Cazes, director of LJ Ramos, warns that if loans are granted on a “significant scale,” property prices will inevitably rise, and this will stimulate the market; without them, growth will be slow and highly selective . Mortgages are both the greatest hope and the greatest uncertainty. Meanwhile, Fabián Achával, of the eponymous real estate agency, justifies a horizon of price increases because prices remain “cheap in historical terms.”
With this scenario, marked by more stable prices and with credit as a great unknown, knowing how much it costs to buy a property in each neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires becomes key to understanding where the market is heading.
Although it didn't play the same leading role as in the first wave of UVA (Purchasing Power Unit) loans, and without reaching the historical record, mortgage lending once again played an important part . Nearly 14,000 mortgage transactions were completed in 2025 , representing about 20% of the total. The jump was significant: 180% more than in 2024. Even so, the market remained far from the boom of 2017 and 2018, when UVA loans drove mortgage deeds to 16,000.

Meanwhile, construction costs continue to put upward pressure on prices . The Construction Cost Index (CAC), measured in dollars, rose 0.2% in January and has accumulated a 104% increase since October 2023. Today, construction costs are three times higher than in October 2020, the lowest point in the series, and are 29% above the 2012-2025 historical average.
When looking at the price per square meter in each neighborhood, the data says that:
These last two neighborhoods combine sustained demand, good connectivity and strong real estate development.
Meanwhile, among the most affordable neighborhoods on the map are:
The price per square meter for houses is US$1,822 , showing a slight monthly decrease of 0.2%. However, year -on-year it has accumulated a 5.9% increase , exceeding the rise recorded for apartments. The scarcity of supply, especially in established neighborhoods, explains a significant portion of this difference.
In these three areas, the combination of location, services, and demand is driving prices upward.
At the opposite extreme:
In this context, the report reveals that the rent-to-price ratio rose in January, reaching 5.09% year-on-year. This means that it currently takes 19.6 years of rent to recoup the initial investment, 3.2% more than a year ago.
In contrast, the neighborhoods with the most expensive rents are also the least profitable :
In January, rental prices in the City of Buenos Aires saw a year-on-year increase of 34.9%, exceeding inflation (31.2%) , which translated to a monthly increase of 2.7%, according to a report by Zonaprop. Specifically, the average rent for a three-room apartment in the City of Buenos Aires is $1,026,674 per month . And the average price gap between apartment types is becoming increasingly pronounced : while the difference between a studio apartment ($659,331) and a one-room apartment ($763,818) is 15.9%, the difference doubles when comparing a one-room apartment to a three-room apartment ($1,026,674).
