    Record optimism among Argentine CEOs for 2025: Over 90% expect economic growth

    That is a good point. I wasn't following Argentina at all before this trip. Now that I am going to buy a place here I am trying to follow all the news. I am very surprised Trump is so attached to Milei. I see he invited Milei several times already and he was the first world leader to meet after...

    Real Estate Sales No negotiation: why there is almost no room to discuss the price of a home in a real estate transaction - Infobae

    Unfortunately we waited a day too long. We bid under asking price and they told me that prices were moving up every few weeks with inflation. I did not counter offer and another person bought the 7th floor unit that we wanted. :cry: We are going to expand our search to properties that are...

    Don Julio now has $100 US steaks

    We also came here to eat and it was very good but for the same price or less I could get as good of a steak in the USA. I laughed about the tomato because I was thinking the same thing. Even in California I don't think anyone could pass off a $20 dollar tomato! We went to Fervor in Recoleta...

    Record optimism among Argentine CEOs for 2025: Over 90% expect economic growth

    It is confusing as I read the IMF didn't want to give more funds until they end the currency controls but I read that more money is coming and people here are telling me the controls won't end before the elections.

    Real Estate Sales No negotiation: why there is almost no room to discuss the price of a home in a real estate transaction - Infobae

    I just met with GyD today in their office and then they took me out to lunch. I met all 3 of the owners of the company. Very professional people. They showed me some of the projects they have built. Over 70 buildings including a nice highrise 30-story tower next to their office which they showed...

    Real Estate Sales No negotiation: why there is almost no room to discuss the price of a home in a real estate transaction - Infobae

    We spent 2 hours yesterday asking questions and getting the explanation of cash entering. It sounds like a crazy process dealing with cash! I can't imagine closing on a property and paying cash. It sounds like there are systems in place to deal with that but that was an uncomfortable thought...

    Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - From Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) to Today

    I didn't know much about Argentina but now that I am here I have read about the history of the country. It is remarkable! In some ways it reminds me of the USA being one of the richest countries in the world and we have to be careful not to squander our position. I think the country was heading...

    Real Estate Sales No negotiation: why there is almost no room to discuss the price of a home in a real estate transaction - Infobae

    Wow so I am not crazy after all. I am relieved to have found this forum. I never imagined that so many people felt the same way about the city. I want to sincerely thank you @CraigM. My wife and I met with Michael today. What a great visit. We even got to see a new property that he purchased...

    Real Estate Sales No negotiation: why there is almost no room to discuss the price of a home in a real estate transaction - Infobae

    Thank you @CraigM! Yes I just contacted them and I am meeting with them tomorrow morning. My wife thinks I am crazy because we just came for vacation but now we might buy something here. But she loves it too. I still can't get over how safe it is here. This reminds me of Europe. Thank you all...

    Real Estate Sales No negotiation: why there is almost no room to discuss the price of a home in a real estate transaction - Infobae

    Yes! This is what got me interested @CraigM. I am just here on vacation but I saw some prices in a window on a realtors office and it is hard to believe prices are this low. Realize that people don't make as much here but I can't figure it out. All the restaurants are all full with locals. These...

    Buying an apartment in Buenos Aires how much to offer??

    I am here on vacation but really like the city. I found a real estate website zonaprop. I contacted many listings but no one has gotten back and it has been a week. I don't understand it. Does no one respond? I was wondering how much are properties closing for vs listing price? I am wondering...
