The real estate map of the northern suburbs of Greater Buenos Aires is showing a clear sign: more than half of its neighborhoods have seen their asking prices drop at the start of the year. This isn't a collapse or cause for alarm, but it does indicate a clear adjustment that suggests the market has stopped recovering at the pace it had been .



According to a report by the real estate platform Zonaprop , based on its listings, 33 of the 59 neighborhoods surveyed in Greater Buenos Aires North saw a decrease in the listed price of apartments for sale compared to the previous month. In other words, 55.93% experienced a downward adjustment.



This data coincides with another phenomenon: the average price per square meter has remained stable since December at US$2,368 , accumulating a year-on-year increase of 6.6% . In other words, prices are not plummeting, but supply is adjusting.



In concrete terms, a one-bedroom apartment in Greater Buenos Aires North was priced at around US$116,367 in January , while a two-bedroom apartment was priced at US$177,055 . It's important to clarify that these values correspond to an average of new, pre-construction, and used units, so properties can be found both above and below these prices.



The areas with the highest values are: La Lucila , at US$3818/m² . This is followed by Vicente López (US$3541/m²) and Olivos (US$3148/m²) .

Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the spectrum, Barrio Infico tops the list of the most affordable with US$920/m², followed by José C. Paz Centro (US$1020/m²) and Loma Hermosa (US$1044/m²).
