The tightening of requirements and the rise in interest rates have meant that fewer and fewer people can access a mortgage loan.

The dream of owning a home is rapidly becoming more expensive . In just a few months, mortgage loans went from being a tool that promised to revive demand to becoming a nearly unaffordable product. When the UVA lines were relaunched, the average rate was 5.1% per year . Today, in September 2025, that average has climbed to 11.1% , more than double.



Each bank applies different conditions and tightens requirements based on its funding and exchange rate volatility . Banco Nación , which initially appeared to be the mainstay of the system with rates of 4.5% plus UVA, has maintained that figure on paper, but has doubled the required scoring level, which in practice excludes most interested parties.







With a current average of 11.1% and a dollar around $1,470 , access to financed housing is increasingly restricted. For those looking to buy a property in September 2025, the first question is no longer how much per square meter it costs, but whether it is possible to afford a mortgage payment that, month by month, adjusts on two fronts: inflation and interest rate.
