The real estate market in Buenos Aires shows some disparity in price trends . A July market analysis determined the three neighborhoods with the lowest square meter value , while average property values have accumulated sustained increases for nearly two years. However, a private report revealed that not all neighborhoods are following the upward trend. Three specific areas deviated from this trend and recorded the smallest year-over-year increases ; two even showed a decrease in their values .



The price ranking by neighborhood shows significant differences. Puerto Madero remains the area with the most expensive offers on the market (US$6,124/m²) . It is followed by Palermo (US$3,416/m²) and Núñez (US$3,284/m²) . At the other end of the spectrum, Lugano has the most affordable offer in the city, at US$1,070/m². It is followed by Nueva Pompeya (US$1,437/m²) and Parque Avellaneda (US$1,564/m²).

The sales price per square meter of apartments in Buenos Aires City averaged US$2,440/m² in July . This value represents a 0.5% monthly increase and a cumulative 5% increase so far in 2025. At these prices, a 40 m² studio apartment sells for an average of US$106,978 .



Real estate investment for rental purposes is gradually regaining appeal. In July, the annual gross return stood at 5.39% . This indicator has slightly declined in the last month. According to the report, it now takes 18.6 years of rental investment to recover the initial investment in a property , 21.3% less time than it took a year ago. Lugano is the neighborhood with the highest return (9.2%), followed by Nueva Pompeya (8.4%). Puerto Madero, on the other hand, offers the lowest return (3.7%).







Which neighborhoods have seen property prices drop?​

Parque Avellaneda leads the ranking of areas with the greatest decline, with a 1.9% drop in property values over the last year. Versalles is close behind , with a 1.6% decrease over the same period.



Retiro rounds out the list of lowest-variation neighborhoods; in this case, its prices increased by just 0.8% year-over-year , well below the city average. The report clarifies that, despite these exceptions, 96% of Buenos Aires neighborhoods did see price increases .

Which neighborhoods led the increases?​

At the other end of the spectrum, the Zonaprop survey identifies Núñez as the neighborhood with the highest price increase in the last year , with a rise of 14.7% . Villa Riachuelo is in second place , with a 13.3% increase . Mataderos is in third place, with a year-over-year increase of 12.4% in sales prices.

These increases are double the city's overall average. The report's heat map shows that the northwest and some southwest areas have seen the largest increases .



Between the two extremes, a group of neighborhoods was located in an area of medium growth. Villa Urquiza registered a year-over-year increase of 9.1% . Villa Crespo had an increase of 6.7% , in line with the city average. Further down the ranking are Villa Real (6.0%), Monte Castro (5.7%), and Vélez Sarsfield (4.6%).
