Certainly, my earlier mention of a 30% discount might have been an exaggeration, but there is a significant discrepancy, and it's notable "through the central bank."
For those unfamiliar with property transactions in Argentina, it's crucial to abandon the notion of a clean, safe, low-risk bank cheque exchange process common in more developed regions. Here, the process involves handling real cash, and the imagery of greenbacks being counted almost evokes the presence of cocaine crystals. Be prepared to arrive at the exchange with a suitcase laden with greenbacks, potentially requiring the transportation of substantial sums through the streets of Buenos Aires. Despite exchanges taking place in what may be deemed secure locations, the associated risks should not be underestimated.
Caution is advised on every level.
