Apartment prices continue to rise, although at a slower rate than previous months and the deceleration is evident
The rental prices of properties located in the City of Buenos Aires registered the lowest monthly increase since January 2019, 1.3 % in the month of March that just ended - in February it was 2.9% -, registering a strong deceleration after increasing 21% in January and 18.6% in December, according to the index published every month by Zonaprop. These are new publications that enter the real estate market.
This phenomenon occurs in a context marked by the validity of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) promoted by President Javier Milei in December, a set of measures that marked a radical change in the regulation of the real estate market due to the repeal of the rental law, and which is currently under discussion.
In turn, the rental supply increases by 15.3% in the month of March and accumulates an increase of 125% in the first quarter of 2024 . “After hitting historic lows in February 2023, new increases in the supply of apartments for rent are being recorded, especially starting in December 2023,” says Leandro Molina, director of Zonaprop.
New rental contracts have accumulated a price increase of 261.7% in the last 12 months , advancing below inflation (299%) and above the ICL adjustment (188.6%). The latter is the index by which contracts signed under the law repealed by the DNU are adjusted annually.
The repeal of the rental law (27,551), approved in July 2020 and subsequently modified in October 2023, allowed freedom between the parties to prevail from now on in the negotiation of crucial points in rental contracts. The key for both parties, owners and tenants, lies in reaching written agreements on these points, as well as any other relevant aspect, with the aim of preventing possible conflicts in the future.
In numbers, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city is $365,546 per month , a two-bedroom apartment can be rented for $422,502 , while a three-bedroom apartment can be rented for $567,747 , according to Zonaprop.
Regarding profitability, it fell again in March. The rent/price ratio is 4.67% annually. The reason for the decline is due to the slowdown in the increase in rental prices. Today it takes 21.4 years of rental to recover the investment, 4.2% less than what was required a year ago. “ Balvanera and Paternal remain the best neighborhoods for investors seeking income , with an average return of 5.7%, 5.6%, respectively. While Palermo (4%) and Belgrano (4.1%) are the ones that generate the least profitability,” says Molina.
