Almost a year after the repeal of the Rental Law, the supply of apartments remains active. In some areas, the initial prices of the contracts register slight inter-monthly decreases, but the floor for two-room apartments is difficult to break through.

With less than a year to go since the repeal of the Rental Law, the Buenos Aires real estate market is showing a sustained recovery in the supply of one-bedroom apartments, although with significant differences depending on location. Average prices remain high in the most sought-after neighborhoods, but there is very little for less than $300,000 per month, although in some areas there are slight decreases in the initial contract values.



This trend is a response to lower inflationary inertia and the reintroduction of mortgage loans, which encouraged hundreds of families to look for purchasing options instead of renting.

Neighborhoods such as Puerto Madero, Palermo, Núñez and Belgrano lead the ranking of highest prices, with values exceeding $500,000 on average for a two-room apartment.



The youngest neighborhood in Buenos Aires makes a difference by positioning itself at the top of the market with prices exceeding $750,000 per month. Other areas such as Recoleta and Villa Devoto also show significant inter-monthly increases, standing out for their high demand and stability as residential options.

Gustavo Lo Valvo , a real estate expert, told Infobae that Puerto Madero “continues to be the absolute leader, with prices that can easily exceed USD 1,000 per month. Palermo, for its part, is consolidating itself as one of the most sought-after areas due to its strategic location and its cultural and gastronomic offering, which significantly increases prices.”



Growing demand

Of the more than 15,500 properties available in CABA, the post-DNU supply recovered to historic levels, with more than 6,000 one-bedroom apartments among the options.

Demand for this type of unit remains high, especially among young professionals and couples looking for functional and well-connected properties.



They are also chosen by students and friends looking to share expenses, since expenses can represent up to 30% or 40% of the monthly rental price.


“The two-room segment is the most dynamic in the market because it combines comfort with relatively competitive prices, in addition to adjusting to the needs of those who have just become independent or prefer to live close to their workplace,” said Lo Valvo.

These apartments have a high turnover in central and easily accessible neighborhoods, such as Almagro, Caballito and Villa Crespo, which remain among the most sought-after areas to rent in addition to the areas in the north of Buenos Aires.

Increased availability and price adjustment

In the last year, the rental offer increased significantly after the repeal of the Rental Law ( according to the Buenos Aires Real Estate Association, it grew by 174.95% since last January ), which caused downward adjustments in certain neighborhoods.

“Areas such as Balvanera, Agronomía or La Boca experienced falls in the initial values of contracts due to the greater availability of two-room properties. The recovery of the market after a period of scarcity generates greater competition between owners, who must adjust prices to attract tenants,” said Mariana Lucángeli , architect and real estate expert.

This change contrasts with the situation last year, when the lack of available units exerted strong upward pressure on prices.

Some neighbourhoods are registering slight price drops. Balvanera, according to Zonaprop, with a 6.19% drop compared to the previous month, leads the declines. Agronomía, with a 4.51% drop, also joins the list of areas where prices have fallen.

Lucángeli added: “These adjustments are explained by lower inflationary pressure and greater availability of units, in addition to the impact of mortgage loans that encouraged potential tenants to lean towards buying. Demand for buying has increased rather than renting since mid-year.”

In general terms, most neighborhoods show moderate increases. Villa Urquiza, for example, registered a 5.02% month-on-month increase, while Palermo reached 4.78%, consolidating its attractiveness as one of the most sought-after areas to live. In addition, in neighborhoods such as Lugano, with a 9.46% increase, revaluations are observed in areas that traditionally had more affordable prices.
