The real estate market began 2025 with a higher level of activity than usual for this time of year. January and the first week of February show a positive balance, with sustained demand for both sales and rentals. The recovery that began in 2024, after six years of declines in CABA ( more than 54,000 homes were sold ), continues with a good pace of operations.
The inertia of the last season maintains the interest in the purchase and sale of properties, while the rental segment has a greater offer (positioned at 15,000 apartments and 400 PH) and more stable values (although prices remain high , owners and tenants reach agreements after more extensive negotiations without the Rental Law).
Factors such as the relaxation of the regulatory framework for renting, the stability of the exchange rate and the expectation of new mortgage loans consolidate the recovery of activity even in times of high temperatures and offer positive prospects for what is to come.
Francisco Altgelt , president of Altgelt Negocios Inmobiliarios, highlighted that “January was a very busy month. In previous years it used to be more stable, but this year we have recorded numerous transactions, reservations and a marked activation in the rental market.”
According to Altgelt, the rental apartment segment, especially one- and two-bedroom apartments , was one of those that generated the most interest.
Among several real estate agencies consulted, it is estimated that there will be more than 500 purchase and sale transactions and a similar number of leases since the beginning of 2025.
The sector argues that this increase in purchase and sale transactions is due to the reactivation of mortgage credit, which, according to García, "pushes demand and consumes the supply of properties available at competitive prices."
Although this phenomenon is putting pressure on prices ( they have risen in 96% of the neighborhoods in Buenos Aires ), García maintains that the market will continue to move, especially in the segment of two- and three-room apartments , which attract the most attention.
Manfe said that “we are still in a market of opportunities , since prices did not reach the record values of 2017 and 2018. This opens the possibility of a future revaluation of around 15% for this year.”
In addition, the segment advises focusing on the used residential market , which offers greater negotiation margins.
Altgelt also stressed that, in terms of investment, used apartments represent a solid option thanks to their current profitability, which is around 4% per year on average in dollars.
“It is advisable to look for one- or two-bedroom apartments with low or medium expenses to maximize returns.”
For those evaluating future purchase options, he recommended analyzing projects from the ground up at USD 2,100 per m2 , since the post-construction revaluation could be significant.
Mateo García commented: “We always recommend doing it with the help of recognized companies that specialize in legal and notarial matters to avoid financial problems and loss of time.”

Constant changes in the market and price fluctuations make the time factor crucial. García also urged “to bet on neighborhoods with greater appreciation, given the dynamism expected for this year.”
According to Altgelt , January showed high rental demand for both reservations and new transactions, with owners offering new properties for lease.
This is a “key period” for the rental market due to the seasonal movements associated with students and families.
When analyzing the neighborhoods specifically, Manfe offered a breakdown according to the type of housing: studio apartments lead in Palermo, Recoleta and Caballito , while one-bedroom apartments stand out in Villa Urquiza, Palermo and Caballito .
For three rooms, the leaders are Caballito, Palermo and Belgrano , and for larger options (four or more rooms), Caballito, Palermo and Belgrano also dominate .
“In the case of PHs, Villa Devoto, Villa del Parque and Villa Urquiza appear as the main points of interest, especially for those seeking to avoid expensive expenses,” concluded Manfe.

Credit leverage
Along the same lines, Mateo García , commercial director of the residential sector at Toribio Achával, pointed out that “January and this week saw great activity, with clear growth compared to the same month in previous years.”The sector argues that this increase in purchase and sale transactions is due to the reactivation of mortgage credit, which, according to García, "pushes demand and consumes the supply of properties available at competitive prices."
Although this phenomenon is putting pressure on prices ( they have risen in 96% of the neighborhoods in Buenos Aires ), García maintains that the market will continue to move, especially in the segment of two- and three-room apartments , which attract the most attention.
The most demanded
The most dynamic neighborhoods are a key factor in the analysis. Juan Manuel Manfe , representative of Century 21 Nimahaus , emphasized that the neighborhoods of Palermo, Caballito, Villa Urquiza, Belgrano, Almagro, Flores, Recoleta and Villa Crespo concentrate not only the largest number of operations, but also the best options for investors.Manfe said that “we are still in a market of opportunities , since prices did not reach the record values of 2017 and 2018. This opens the possibility of a future revaluation of around 15% for this year.”

Recommendations
