August closed with a rebound in the value per square meter, both for apartments and houses.
Some areas of the AMBA show greater increases in square meters than others.
The real estate market in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) is showing signs of recovery. After several years of declining prices and a supply that exceeded demand, August closed with a rebound in the value per square meter in dollars, both for apartments and houses.
According to the latest report from Mercado Libre Inmuebles, the median sales price in dollars per square meter grew 7.6% year-over-year for apartments and 1.1% for houses . The City of Buenos Aires (CABA) led the increase: apartments increased 7.7% and houses 3.7% compared to August 2024.
These neighborhoods offer a balance of accessibility, connectivity, and quality of life, with mid-scale developments that appeal to young families and professionals seeking larger spaces without straying too far from the city.
As for housing in Buenos Aires, the northern corridor again made the difference, and the neighborhoods where the price per square meter increased the most were the following:
The preference for homes with generous square footage, gardens, and proximity to educational and commercial centers continues to drive up prices in these high-profile areas, which historically lead the city's premium market.
As for the departments, the areas that concentrated the increases were:
As for houses, the largest increases were seen in:
In departments, the northern and western axes are consolidating as expansion centers. Escobar and Ituzaingó registered similar increases. In housing, Pilar stood out with a 12.1% increase , reaffirming its position as one of the most dynamic localities in the northern corridor, with private developments and housing offerings of various sizes.
This phenomenon is closely related to the reactivation of mortgage lending in recent months, a tool that, after several years of absence, has once again facilitated access to homeownership for middle-income groups. However, it remains to be seen whether this trend will continue with the tightening of lending and rising interest rates.
At the same time, the rental market is also experiencing strong activity: in August 2025, the number of apartment listings for rent in the AMBA region was 194.6% higher than in November 2023. The increased supply is due both to owners putting their units back on the market and to the incentives of new regulatory frameworks that have made contractual relationships more flexible.
On the other hand, apartments in emerging areas of Buenos Aires are gaining prominence, while premium neighborhoods are driving the value per square meter in homes.
In turn, the return of mortgage lending has revived demand, which partly explains the rise in prices. Finally, the rental market is experiencing a boom in listings, offsetting the increased pressure from demand.
