The real estate market is experiencing a period of recovery. Property sales records show an increase in property sales, driven primarily by mortgage loans.
In addition, the recent regulation of divisible mortgages is exciting the sector due to the potential boost and development that existing projects can receive.
However, this active market scenario is accompanied by rising prices that will likely continue into the second half of the year. “I think it will be important to see how the macroeconomic situation and the results of the October elections develop. If the number of deeds issued and the percentage of mortgage loans granted remain as expected, the trend is for the increase already seen in the first half of the year to continue. The percentage depends on the product and the area, but they will likely rise between 5 and 10% ,” explained Francisco Altgelt, owner of the real estate agency of the same name.
If these increases are implemented, it is estimated that they would occur, as they have been until now, in the most popular apartments, which are two- and three-room apartments with prices between $100,000 and $300,000.
Owners return to the market
Mortgage loans, rising prices, and greater macroeconomic stability have once again attracted homeowners who are putting their properties up for sale."Despite the strong market momentum, the supply hasn't reached the 100,000 listed properties mark , most likely because many owners are returning to the market after seeing improved prices," said Fabián Achával, owner of the Achával real estate agency, on his Real Estate Radar. The supply of properties continues to rise and currently stands at around 108,000 units.
Currently, the listing price of real estate sales is showing upward momentum across all categories. Zonaprop and Mercado Libre, two of the main property buying and selling platforms, have seen 16 consecutive months of year-over-year increases (+7.7 and +9.9 respectively).
However, listing prices vary significantly by segment. "We're seeing a sharp increase in developments or units under construction, driven by construction costs and currency appreciation. The rise in construction costs in dollars distorted relative prices in an oversupplied used market," Achával noted. Meanwhile, the supply of apartments under construction fell sharply.
Trading percentages are shrinking
On the other hand, negotiation rates have been declining for some time now. The counteroffer range is an important indicator for understanding the real price at which properties are being sold ."Closing prices are at 2006 levels in real terms, clearly presenting a buying opportunity in the used residential segment," Achával added. "Negotiation rates narrowed significantly in the second half of the year, even falling below the first quarter of 2019 level," he concluded.
