After a period of reactivation driven by the return of mortgage loans and the readjustment of the values per square meter , the month of October was characterized by a cooling in the real estate market .
This market reaction is primarily due to the increase in mortgage interest rates and the rise in the dollar . The trend is clear: private banks have tightened their lending conditions while raising rates. On average, the annual nominal interest rate for UVA-indexed loans is around 10.6% , although some private institutions have increased it to over 17% .
This gap reflects a structural problem: without long-term funding and with a rising exchange rate, the Argentine financial system faces difficulties in sustaining a solid mortgage market .
Even so, the used property segment maintains a competitive advantage: historically low prices and a price/asset ratio that makes it more attractive compared to other investment instruments in the local economy.
89% of neighborhoods register a year-on-year increase. Daniel Basualdo
According to the latest Zonaprop report , property prices did not register significant increases during October. On the contrary, the average value of apartments fell by 0.1% , reaching US$2,449/m² . Although slight, this variation confirms a scenario of stagnation.
The same behavior was detected by Mercado Libre Inmuebles , which also reported a 0.1% adjustment in dollar prices.
In 2025, property values rose by 5.4% year-on-year , while the year-on-year increase reached 5.5% . On average, a 40 m² studio apartment is priced at around US$107,000 , while a 50 m² one-bedroom apartment is valued at approximately US$129,000 .
The locations listed in the report as neighborhoods with average values were the following:
Conversely, Lugano is the neighborhood with the lowest purchase price, at US$1072/m2 . It is followed by Nueva Pompeya (US$1468/m2 ) and La Boca (US$1551/m2 ) .
89% of neighborhoods registered a year-on-year increase. Núñez leads with a 13.3% increase , followed by Villa Pueyrredon with 11.3% and Saavedra (10.8%) . At the opposite end of the spectrum are neighborhoods that showed decreases, such as Parque Chacabuco (-0.9%) , Parque Patricios (-1.6%), and Versalles (-2.9%).
The price per square meter of houses is US$1826/m2. Daniel Basualdo
Thus, a house with two bedrooms has an average price of US$300,138 , while one with three bedrooms is priced at US$490,266 .
By neighborhood, Palermo remains at the top of the ranking as the area with the highest prices for buying houses in the city of Buenos Aires, with an average of US$3,232 per square meter . It is followed by Belgrano , at US$2,957/m² , and Recoleta , at US$2,575/m² , completing the top three most expensive areas.
At the other end of the spectrum, La Boca is the most affordable neighborhood, with an average price of US$722/m² . It is followed by Villa Soldati and Nueva Pompeya , with average prices of US$730/m² and US$776/m² , respectively.
