Rental prices listed on major real estate platforms continue to rise . Although overall inflation shows signs of moderating, housing contract values continue to increase.
Following the repeal of the rental law at the end of 2023, landlords began to make their properties available for rent under agreements between the parties, expanding the supply of a market that had stagnated.
Similarly, demand remains high, driven by the lack of access to mortgage credit and the difficulties in accessing homeownership.
In this context, according to the survey carried out by the real estate platform Zonaprop, the average price of rentals in the City of Buenos Aires increased 2.4% in October , accumulating an increase of 29.8% so far in 2025 , above the general inflation of 24.4% .
