In a rental market that has been stable until now, the average price of new contracts rose 3.5% in the second month of the year. The start of 2026 in the City of Buenos Aires shows an acceleration in prices, following a more moderate end to 2025.
Year-on-year, rents for new contracts rose 34.8% above inflation , which was 32.4% until January, and slightly above the ICL adjustment which was 33.9% in January.

The average gap between types of apartments is becoming increasingly marked: while the difference between a studio apartment for $680,000 and a one-bedroom apartment for $790,801 is 16%, the distance widens to 34% when comparing a one-bedroom apartment with a two-bedroom apartment for an average of $1,060,751.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are three neighborhoods that showed the smallest increase:
San Telmo registered one of the lowest increases at 26.60%. Ricardo Pristupluk
In the one-bedroom apartment category, Puerto Madero surpasses the million-dollar mark and leads the ranking of the most expensive neighborhoods.Hugo Mouján
If we compare the neighborhood with the most expensive offer, Puerto Madero, with the one with the cheapest offer, Lugano, the difference is $679,286. The first neighborhood mentioned is 105.6% more expensive than the second.
Since then, supply growth moderated until January 2026, when it fell again by 7.7% month-on-month. In February, the drop was 6.1%. Even so, the current volume is 2.7 times higher than that recorded at the low point (February 2023).
