The real estate market continues to boom in the City of Buenos Aires , as evidenced by the increases in the square meter of listings. In the last 12 months, it has risen 8.8%, representing the largest year-over-year increase since November 2018.

This was revealed by the figures from the latest Zonaprop report, which indicated that the square meter of advertising in the City stands at US$2,396. In March, it grew 1.1%, which shows that the total increase in the first quarter was 3.1%.



The striking fact is that, in the first two months of the year, the square meter grew by almost half of what it grew in all of 2024 (6.8%). Furthermore, 81% of the city's neighborhoods saw monthly price increases during that same period.

If the analysis is done neighborhood by neighborhood, Puerto Madero remains on the podium of the most expensive , with a value of US$6,095/m². Palermo and Núñez follow, with US$3,341/m² and US$3,143/m², respectively. On the other hand, Lugano is the neighborhood with the lowest listing prices, with values of US$1,121/m². Nueva Pompeya (US$1,428/m²) and Parque Avellaneda (US$1,529/m²) complete the ranking of the most affordable neighborhoods.

How is the housing market in the City?

The housing segment is a separate issue. The price of a square meter is below that of an apartment, at US$1,756. It rose 0.5% in March and has accumulated a 1.9% increase in the first quarter of 2025. Looking at the year-over-year trend, it has risen 4.9% in the last 12 months, 3.9 percentage points below the increase in apartment prices (8.8%).

In numbers, a two-bedroom home has a median price of US$291,065, while a three-bedroom home is US$468,204 .

In this analysis, Palermo ranks first among the most expensive neighborhoods for home purchases , with an average price of US$3,412/m². Belgrano (US$2,663/m²) and Recoleta (US$2,447/m²) follow. Villa Soldati is the most affordable neighborhood, with a price of US$640/m². Nueva Pompeya (US$755/m²) and Constitución (US$865/m²) complete the list.

A growing demand

The real estate sector remains optimistic and expects 2025 to surpass 2024, which was a strong year, with nearly 55,000 transactions closed, representing a 35% increase compared to 2023.

This reflects a sharp increase in demand for property purchases,
driven by changing expectations, historically low prices, the emergence of mortgage loans, and exchange rate stability.



The recently released February deed data for CABA were very encouraging : 4,293 property sales transactions were recorded , representing a 94% increase compared to the same month last year. It's worth noting that 22% of these transactions were made with a mortgage , demonstrating that mortgage lending continues to drive activity in the sector.

"We have practically double the number of transactions we had in the first two months of 2024, and with a significant boost from mortgage loans. It's a very good start to the year, and hopefully these thousand monthly mortgages will be the foundation for this new real estate reality," said Jorge de Bártolo, president of the Buenos Aires Notaries Association , optimistically .
