In August, the rental market in the City of Buenos Aires showed varied movements depending on the property type . Listing prices for studio apartments increased by 4.2% compared to the previous month, while prices for two- and three-bedroom apartments remained stable, with no significant changes compared to July, according to a report prepared by the Scalabrini Ortiz Center for Economic and Social Studies (CESO).
This trend reflects the monthly volatility observed in the rental segment , with fluctuations responding to various factors such as demand, inflation, and real estate market conditions. Year-over-year, price increases for most unit types slightly exceed the general price index.
Currently, renting a studio apartment in CABA costs an average of $500,000 per month , while a one-bedroom apartment costs $600,000 and a two-bedroom apartment reaches $800,000 per month .
The supply of apartments in Buenos Aires is growing.
On the other hand, the supply of apartments for rent continues to expand. Since February 2024, the number of available properties has been increasing, with a 15.4% increase in August compared to the same month last year.This context of differentiated prices and increased supply presents opportunities for tenants seeking broader and more varied options, especially in the larger apartment segments where prices remain stable. At the same time, for those renting studio apartments, the rising prices imply a greater financial effort, which could impact demand for these types of units.
The impact of expenses on rents
According to the report, the Minimum Living and Mobile Salary (SMVM), which reached $322,000 in August, only covers 64.4% of the average rental cost, reflecting the growing difficulty in accessing housing with a minimum income.At the same time, expenses represent an average of 23.9% more than the listed rental price, an additional cost that often further complicates the financial situation of renters.
Furthermore, 25% of the available supply is denominated in dollars, which adds volatility and complexity to the market. However, this figure has dropped dramatically since reaching its peak when the rental law was still in effect.
