Over the past year, the southern part of Greater Buenos Aires was the epicenter of the largest price increases in the AMBA rental market. However, in April, that trend broke : for the first time in more than 12 months, increases in that area fell below those recorded in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the northern suburbs.



According to the latest report by Zonaprop based on rental advertisements published in April, rental prices in western and southern GBA rose 2.4% in April, compared to 2.9% in CABA and 2.7% in northern GBA . This marks a turning point after a long period in which the southern zone had led month-over-month increases, driven largely by the market readjustment following the repeal of the Rental Law on December 29, 2023.



This figure is striking because, when looking at the cumulative figures for the last twelve months, it can be seen that rental prices in the southern part of the Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) rose 71.6% , while in the northern part the increase was 54.7% and in the city, 44.6%. It is even the only area that exceeded the year-on-year inflation rate, which, according to INDEC (National Institute of Statistics and Census), reached 55.9% in March, the latest official data available. In real terms, prices in the western and southern GBA showed an annual increase of 25.2% above inflation.

Regarding prices by neighborhood: Sáenz Peña ranks first with the most expensive listings , at $582,981 per month. Ituzaingó ($579,066) and Santos Lugares ($573,523) round out the top three. Luis Guillón, on the other hand, has the cheapest listings, with an average price of $327,955. Gregorio de Laferrere ($367,475) and Paso del Rey ($368,687) follow.





Rentals in the northern zone​

In the northern part of GBA, rental prices rose 2.7% in April and are projected to rise 13.4% by 2025. Compared to the same month last year, rental prices are 54.7% higher, but below the increase in western-southern GBA (71.6%).



In this case, a one-bedroom apartment in GBA Norte is priced at $593,470, while a two-bedroom apartment rents for $825,296 per month.

Neighborhoods where it is best to buy to rent​

For investors thinking of buying an apartment to rent out, in the western-southern GBA, the rent-to-price ratio is 6.05% per year , which translates to 16.5 years of income to recover the purchase investment —a period 31% shorter than twelve months ago, according to the same report .



Within this area, Villa Tesei stands out as the most attractive option for investors , with a gross yield of 8.3% .

At the other end of the spectrum, the neighborhoods with the fewest returns are Adrogué (5%) , Lomas de Zamora (5.1%), and Luis Guillón (5.3%) .



In northern GBA , the rent/price ratio rose to 5.07% annually, shortening the recovery period to 29.7 years , 20% less than a year ago .

In this case, Belén de Escobar ranks as the most profitable neighborhood , with a gross return of 7.9%, followed by San Miguel (7.7%) and San Andrés (7.3%) . Meanwhile, La Lucila (3.8%) , Vicente López (3.8%) , and Nordelta (4.3%) have the lowest returns in the region.
