Summary

Probably, but slowly. Buenos Aires apartments ask USD 2,484/m² (Zonaprop, September 2026), only 1.4% more than in January, and we expect low single-digit gains in dollars, not another rally.

The fast part of the recovery is over. Zonaprop measured property prices up 5.4% in 2025; in 2026 asking prices have added 1.4% in nine months, and real sales closed 0.4% lower than a year earlier (USD 2,097/m², M² Real).

Buyers have not left. The city signed 41,583 sale deeds from January to August 2026, only 2.3% fewer than a year earlier, and August was among the five best Augusts in 28 years.

Mortgages are the weak spot. Mortgage deeds fell about 34% over January–August 2026, so only 14.8% of purchases used a loan, against roughly 22% a year earlier.

Supply keeps prices in check. About 110,000 properties were listed for sale in CABA in August 2026, and the stock was 3.4% bigger than a year earlier in June.

Sellers are not desperate. Used apartments closed 4.75% below the last asking price in September 2026, against an average of about 7% in 2022.

There is still room to the old high: Zonaprop's index is 11.3% below its peak, so prices would need to rise about 13% to get back there.

New supply and building costs work in opposite directions: permitted floor area in the city rose 37% in Q2 2026, while building costs in dollars rose about 21% in a year, which puts a floor under new-build prices.

Rental yields support prices without pushing them: 5.70% gross in September 2026, with rents up 28.7% in a year while inflation ran at 33.4%. A non-resident landlord may lose 21% of gross rent to tax.

The economy helps less than expected. The IMF cut its 2026 growth forecast for Argentina from 3.5% to 2.1% in October 2026, and local buyers still earn in pesos while homes are priced in dollars.

Neighborhoods matter more than the city average. Puerto Madero asks about USD 6,165/m² and Palermo USD 3,409/m², while Saavedra (about USD 2,171/m²) was among the fastest risers over 12 months and Constitución fell 5.2%.

The strong peso, the push to restart mortgages and the 2026 tax changes are the three things to watch now: the dollar rose only 4.9% this year while prices rose 23.6%, and the state pension fund lent banks ARS 400 billion for mortgages in September and October 2026.

Bottom line: plan on prices rising about 0% to 3% a year in dollars across the city, negotiate from closing prices (about USD 2,100/m²) rather than listings, and expect faster gains only if mortgage deeds pick up and listings start to fall.

How much have Buenos Aires prices moved in 2026?

Very little. Zonaprop's index puts the average CABA apartment at USD 2,484/m² in September 2026, up 0.3% in the month and 1.4% since January.

September's 0.3% was the biggest monthly rise of the year, which tells you how flat 2026 has been. Real sales are flatter still: used apartments closed at USD 2,097/m² in September 2026, 0.4% below a year earlier (RE/MAX, UCEMA and Reporte Inmobiliario, M² Real).

Prices are no longer falling, but buyers are not chasing them up either. The rebound that started after the 2023 low has turned into a sideways market.

At Zonaprop's September 2026 reference prices, a 40 m² studio lists at about USD 110,000, a 50 m² two-room (one-bedroom) apartment at USD 131,000 and a 70 m² three-room (two-bedroom) apartment at USD 180,000.

CABA apartment market (Sept 2026) Current level Change What we see
Average asking price (Zonaprop) USD 2,484/m² +1.4% since January Barely rising
Latest monthly move — +0.3% Best month of 2026
Closing price, used apartments (M² Real) USD 2,097/m² −0.4% over 12 months Flat
40 m² studio USD 110,000 — Entry level
50 m² two-room USD 131,000 — Mainstream
70 m² three-room USD 180,000 — Family size

Has the Buenos Aires property boom already run out of steam?

Yes. Prices still drift up in listings, but the fast part of the recovery is over.

Zonaprop measured property prices in the city up 5.4% over 2025. Nine months into 2026, apartment asking prices are up 1.4%, and the closed-sale index is slightly below where it was a year ago.

This looks like a normal slowdown after a strong recovery, not the start of a crash. Homes were extremely cheap in dollars during the last downturn, so part of the earlier rise was just a rebound. Once that gap closed, buyers became more careful about price.

The next leg up needs something stronger: more mortgages, higher real incomes or a real shortage of good apartments.

Are enough Buenos Aires properties still selling to keep prices up?

Yes. Sales are still high, even though they stopped growing.

The Colegio de Escribanos recorded 6,055 sale deeds in CABA in August 2026, 4.9% fewer than the 6,370 of August 2025 and slightly more than July's 6,051. According to the Colegio, only 2025, 2007 and 1998 had a better August in the last 28 years.

From January to August 2026 the city signed 41,583 deeds, only 2.3% fewer than over the same months of 2025.

So buyers have not disappeared. That is why a bearish call still feels early: prices barely move, but sellers keep finding buyers.

One warning sign: the average deed in August 2026 was worth about USD 119,000, 2.7% less in dollars than a year earlier, even though it was 10.3% more in pesos.

CABA sales activity Latest reading Year on year Reading
Deeds, August 2026 6,055 −4.9% Below a record 2025
Deeds, July 2026 6,051 — Stable month to month
Deeds, January–August 2026 41,583 −2.3% Essentially flat
Average deed value, August 2026 About USD 119,000 −2.7% in USD Smaller or cheaper deals

Why are Buenos Aires property prices barely moving if sales are so strong?

Because there are plenty of buyers, but even more choice. That explains strong sales with almost flat prices.

About 110,214 properties were listed for sale in CABA in August 2026 (Monitor Inmobiliario), and the stock was still growing by about 1% a month.

It has been growing for a while: in June 2026, Zonaprop counted 3.4% more properties for sale than a year earlier (La Nación).

That gives buyers options. Someone looking in Palermo, Belgrano or Caballito can usually compare dozens of similar apartments instead of bidding for the only one available.

At the same time, around 6,000 sales a month are enough to stop that stock from turning into distress.

That is the simplest explanation for a 1.4% rise in nine months: demand is strong enough to prevent broad cuts, supply is too big to let owners push prices up.

Has mortgage credit stopped helping the Buenos Aires property market?

For now, yes. Mortgages are the weakest part of the market and the main reason we do not forecast faster price growth.

Only 1,059 of the 6,055 CABA sales in August 2026 used a mortgage, 20.8% fewer than a year earlier. That is about 17.5% of deeds.

From January to August 2026, 6,170 sales were financed with a mortgage, against 9,341 a year earlier: down almost 34%. Nationally, banks granted 14,237 mortgages from January to July 2026, against 25,160 a year earlier, a 43% drop (Tejido Urbano, from central bank data).

The mix of buyers has changed. Mortgage deeds were 14.8% of all sales over January–August 2026, against roughly 22% over the same months of 2025.

So the city kept total sales almost unchanged while losing thousands of financed buyers. Cash and savings are doing the work.

That also shows what the next rally would need: if lending comes back while cash demand holds, the market gains a whole extra layer of buyers. For a foreigner with only foreign income, none of this applies: we found no confirmed access to UVA mortgages for non-residents.

Mortgage activity Latest figure Comparison Reading
Mortgage deeds, August 2026 1,059 −20.8% year on year Still weak
Mortgage deeds, January–August 2026 6,170 −34% (9,341 in 2025) Big contraction
Share of sales with a mortgage 14.8% About 22% a year earlier Cash rules
New mortgages nationwide, Jan–Jul 2026 14,237 −43% (25,160 in 2025) Not only a CABA story

Are Buenos Aires sellers actually getting close to their asking prices?

Yes. Sellers still give up only about 5% from their last asking price, much less than in the weak market of 2022.

The M² Real index (RE/MAX, UCEMA and Reporte Inmobiliario) measured an average gap of 4.75% between the last asking price and the closing price for used apartments in September 2026.

The same series averaged 7.04% in 2022, 6.59% in 2023, 4.79% in 2024 and 4.49% in 2025.

That is a real shift in bargaining power. In 2022 a seller often gave up about seven cents per advertised dollar; today it is closer to five.

The gap is a bit wider than in 2025, which fits with more listings and flat prices: sellers have lost a little leverage. Still, this is not a market of owners desperate to get out. As a buyer, aim for about 5% off a fairly priced listing, more on one that has been sitting for months.

Period Average discount at closing
2022 7.04%
2023 6.59%
2024 4.79%
2025 4.49%
September 2026 4.75%

Are Buenos Aires apartments still cheap compared with the old peak?

Yes. Zonaprop's asking index was still 11.3% below its historical dollar peak in September 2026.

At USD 2,484/m², that puts the old high at roughly USD 2,800/m².

Being 11.3% below the peak means prices would need to rise about 13% from here to get back there.

Official city data point the same way over five years: used two-room apartments asked USD 2,343/m² in Q2 2026 against USD 2,482/m² in Q2 2021, about 5.6% less in dollars (IDECBA, based on Argenprop listings).

The old high is not a target prices must reach. Mortgages, incomes and the exchange rate are different today. But buyers are not paying record prices after a long boom, so another big collapse is hard to argue from valuation alone.

Could all those properties for sale keep Buenos Aires prices flat for years?

Yes. The large stock for sale could keep citywide price growth weak even while good apartments keep selling.

About 110,000 listings against roughly 6,000 deeds in a good month is a lot of choice. Listings and deeds are not the same universe, and homes stay online for different lengths of time, so a simple division would mislead. But the order of magnitude is clear: buyers can shop around.

The stock also keeps renewing itself: it was 3.4% larger in June 2026 than a year earlier and still growing about 1% a month in August.

That matters most in the biggest apartment markets: Palermo, Belgrano, Caballito and Recoleta each have thousands of apartments competing for buyers.

So there is no broad shortage. Scarcity exists apartment by apartment: a renovated unit with light, a good layout and the right block is hard to replace. Across the city, it is hard to find.

Expect the gap between good and ordinary apartments to widen. The city average can move 1% while the best units move a lot faster.

Will new construction stop Buenos Aires property prices from rising?

New construction will keep some pressure on prices, but there is no wave of supply big enough to push the whole market down.

An analysis of official city permit data by Tejido Urbano counted 4,697 multi-family residential permits between 2021 and 2025, about 10.5 million m². New multi-family projects made up 3,703 of those permits and about 8.6 million m².

Using project-size assumptions, the study estimated capacity for roughly 18,000 to 30,000 apartments a year.

The pipeline is growing again: the floor area of new building permits in the city rose 37% in Q2 2026 compared with a year earlier (CEPA). Nationally, construction activity was still 4.4% lower in August 2026 than a year earlier (INDEC), so not everything permitted gets built quickly.

The city has two supply cushions: a very large resale market and an active development pipeline. That rules out the easy bullish story where construction stops and buyers fight over a fixed stock.

Are construction costs helping existing Buenos Aires property prices?

Yes. Building costs are rising much faster than prices, which puts a floor under new-build prices and makes used apartments look cheap by comparison.

INDEC's construction-cost index for Greater Buenos Aires rose 1.5% in September 2026, with materials up 1.3% and labor up 1.6%. Over 12 months it is up 31.3% in pesos.

Because the peso barely moved against the dollar, that shows up in dollars too: Zonaprop's September 2026 report puts building costs in Buenos Aires up 18.5% since January and 21% over 12 months, while asking prices rose 1.4% since January.

Developers can charge more, accept thinner margins or delay projects. Existing homes benefit from all three: new builds get pricier, delayed projects cut future supply and thin margins slow new launches.

New builds already ask much more. IDECBA's Q2 2026 data show new two-room apartments at USD 3,215/m² against USD 2,343/m² used, a 37% premium.

Don't overstate it: if the peso weakens sharply, peso costs fall in dollars and the floor drops with them.

Are Buenos Aires rental yields good enough to support higher property prices?

They support current prices, but they will not push them much higher.

Zonaprop puts the city's gross rental yield at 5.70% in September 2026: gross rent repays the price in about 17.5 years, 12.5% faster than a year earlier, when the yield was about 5.0%.

A standard two-room apartment asked ARS 898,154 a month in September 2026 (USD 580), 28.7% more than a year earlier.

But rents now rise more slowly than prices in general. Inflation was 33.4% over the same 12 months, so in real terms the same apartment rents for about 3.5% less than a year ago.

And gross is not net. Expenses, vacancy and maintenance come off, and for a non-resident landlord tax does too: the 2026 exemption on long-term rents (Decree 406/2026) clearly covers residents, but for non-residents it is not confirmed, so by default 21% of gross rent is withheld. On that basis 5.70% gross becomes about 4.5% before any other cost.

Rental indicator (Sept 2026) Current reading What changed
Gross rental yield (Zonaprop) 5.70% About 5.0% a year earlier
Gross payback period 17.5 years 12.5% shorter than a year earlier
Two-room asking rent ARS 898,154/month +28.7% over 12 months
Inflation over the same 12 months 33.4% Rents fall in real terms
Yield after 21% withholding (non-resident) About 4.5% Before other costs

Can local buyers afford much higher Buenos Aires property prices?

Not comfortably. Weak local affordability is one of the main reasons we do not expect prices to race higher without much more mortgage credit.

A 50 m² apartment costs about USD 131,000 at Zonaprop's city benchmark, and much more in Palermo or Núñez.

Most Argentine households don't have that in cash, and the mortgage market is small and shrinking. That sets a ceiling: prices can only rise so far before the pool of cash buyers gets thin.

The currency makes it worse. Homes are quoted and negotiated in dollars, while most people earn in pesos.

When the peso is stable and real wages rise, buying power improves quickly. A sharp devaluation can undo that just as fast.

That is why mortgage volumes matter more than another 0.3% monthly move in asking prices. Long-term loans turn income into buying power; without them, the market depends on existing savings.

Is Argentina's economy helping Buenos Aires property prices right now?

Less than expected a few months ago. The backdrop is still far better than in the long downturn, but growth has slowed and inflation has come down more slowly than hoped.

In October 2026, the IMF cut its forecast for Argentina's 2026 growth to 2.1%, from 3.5% in April, after 4.5% growth in 2025. It expects 3.5% in 2027.

It also raised its inflation forecast: 32.5% on average in 2026 (from 30.4%) and 21.2% in 2027. INDEC measured 33.4% over the 12 months to September 2026 and about 23.6% from January to September.

Lower inflation and a growing economy usually help property: people plan further ahead and are more willing to make big purchases. Buenos Aires benefits a lot from predictability because prices are in dollars while incomes and costs are in pesos.

But Argentina is not boring yet. Slower growth means slower real wage gains, which is exactly what the local buyer pool needs to grow.

Argentina macro indicator Latest figure
Real GDP growth 2026 (IMF, Oct 2026) 2.1% (was 3.5%)
Real GDP growth 2025 4.5%
Real GDP growth 2027 (IMF forecast) 3.5%
Average inflation 2026 (IMF forecast) 32.5%
Inflation, 12 months to September 2026 (INDEC) 33.4%

Does Buenos Aires population growth justify a big property-price boom?

No. There is enough underlying demand to support the market, but population growth is too slow to drive a boom on its own.

The 2022 census counted about 3.12 million people in the City of Buenos Aires, up from about 2.89 million in 2010.

That is about 8% over 12 years, well under 1% a year.

Housing demand can grow faster than population: smaller households, more people living alone, internal moves, investor purchases and neighborhood changes all add to the number of homes people want.

But Buenos Aires is not a city adding several percent of population a year while barely building. As a price driver, demographics rank well below mortgages, real incomes, investor demand and economic stability.

Are some Buenos Aires neighborhoods already rising much faster than the city?

Yes. Neighborhoods move at very different speeds, so the citywide 1.4% says little about the apartment you are looking at.

In Zonaprop's September 2026 report, Saavedra and Villa Riachuelo had the biggest price rises over 12 months, while Constitución fell the most, down 5.2%. Saavedra asks about USD 2,171/m², below the city average.

At the top, Puerto Madero asks about USD 6,165/m² and Palermo USD 3,409/m² (Zonaprop), and TuLugar's September listings put Núñez at about USD 3,238/m².

Price level and price momentum are two different questions. An expensive barrio does not automatically rise faster. Barrios one step below the classic prime areas, like Saavedra next to Núñez, often catch more upside as buyers look for value nearby.

For a buyer, that spread matters much more than whether the city index ends the year up 1%, 2% or 3%.

Area Asking price, Sept 2026 Position
Puerto Madero About USD 6,165/m² Ultra-premium
Palermo About USD 3,409/m² Prime, very liquid
Núñez About USD 3,238/m² (TuLugar) Prime residential
Saavedra About USD 2,171/m² Among the fastest risers
Constitución — Biggest fall (−5.2%)
CABA average USD 2,484/m² City benchmark

What would actually make Buenos Aires property prices accelerate again?

A real mortgage recovery would be the fastest way to push prices into a stronger growth phase.

Today about one sale in seven uses a mortgage (14.8% over January–August 2026). A year earlier it was closer to one in five.

If that share came back while cash buyers stayed, the city would add a few thousand financed purchases a year to its roughly 60,000 annual deeds.

It would hit harder if the stock for sale started to fall at the same time. Right now there are about 110,000 listings and the number is still growing. Sales near 6,000 a month with shrinking listings would be clear evidence that demand is outrunning supply.

Real wage growth is the third piece: better incomes mean more households can get a loan and pay the deposit.

More mortgages, falling listings and stronger incomes together would make a real bullish case. We do not see that combination yet.

What could send Buenos Aires property prices down again?

A serious economic shock could still push dollar prices lower, especially if it hurt both local buying power and mortgage lending.

The obvious route is a sharp devaluation that leaves peso incomes behind. Homes would suddenly cost more relative to local salaries even if sellers kept their dollar prices.

A weaker economy adds another problem: less job security and less willingness to commit savings. Mortgage deeds, already down about 34% this year, could fall further.

There is also a quieter downside: listings keep growing while credit stays weak, and sellers compete harder for the same buyers. Discounts at closing would widen first, then asking prices would soften.

There is no sign of broad distress today. Sales are high and the discount at closing is still under 5%. But Argentina's property market is sensitive enough to the economy that another downturn cannot be ruled out.

Will the strong peso hold Buenos Aires prices back in 2027?

It could. The peso is stable in nominal terms but strong in real terms, and that makes Buenos Aires more expensive for anyone earning in dollars or euros.

The dollar traded around ARS 1,550 on 22 October 2026, with official, MEP and blue rates within 2% of each other. The wholesale dollar rose only about 4.9% since January, while consumer prices rose about 23.6% from January to September. Everything you pay in pesos around the purchase (expensas, works, notary) costs more in dollars every month.

Forecasters expect the peso to weaken. The central bank's market survey (REM, September 2026) sees the wholesale dollar at about ARS 1,614 at the end of 2026, and banks in the October LatinFocus panel expect around ARS 1,950 to 2,100 by the end of 2027.

What to do: a gradual depreciation is not a reason to wait, because dollar prices hardly react to it. A sudden jump would be: sellers who need to sell then cut prices. If you buy now, negotiate from closing prices, and keep a dollar budget for works rather than a peso quote that will be out of date.

Will the new mortgage push lift Buenos Aires prices?

Not quickly. The government is trying to restart lending, but the effect will take months to show up in deeds.

The state pension fund (FGS) lent banks ARS 200 billion on 7 September 2026 and another ARS 200 billion on 6 October 2026, for mortgages capped at UVA + 7.5% over at least 15 years, and widened eligibility to single permanent homes. Banco Ciudad offers UVA + 6.5% for a first home of up to 80 m² until 31 December 2026; Banco Nación charges UVA + 6.7% to eligible salary clients.

The central bank saw mortgage lending grow again in September 2026, but deeds are still down about 34% this year. At roughly 1,000 mortgage deeds a month in CABA, it would take a big change to move prices.

What to watch: the share of CABA deeds with a mortgage. If it climbs back above 20% for a few months while listings stop growing, expect prices to firm up, most of all for small apartments under 80 m² in middle-class barrios. Foreign buyers cannot count on these loans.

Do the 2026 tax changes make Buenos Aires a better bet?

For reselling, yes. For renting out as a foreigner, not yet clearly.

Since 1 January 2026, individuals selling property, residents and non-residents alike, pay no income tax on the gain (Law 27.802 and Decree 406/2026, published 1 June 2026). The old 15% tax on gains from property bought after 2018 is gone for individuals. Companies are not covered.

Long-term rents to a tenant's permanent home are now exempt for resident landlords. For non-residents the decree is silent, so the safe assumption is still 21% of gross rent withheld, plus the yearly wealth tax (Bienes Personales) at 0.5% paid through a local representative. Short-term tourist rentals are not covered by the exemption.

What to do: buy in your own name rather than through a company if resale is your plan, and get an Argentine tax adviser to confirm the rental exemption in writing before you count it in your yield.

Are Buenos Aires property prices likely to rise from here?

Yes, more likely up than down, but slowly: we expect a slow climb rather than another citywide rally.

The numbers fit that view. Asking prices are up 1.4% since January, sales are near the top of their long-term range and sellers close within about 5% of their last asking price. Gross yields are 5.70%, and the asking index is still 11.3% below its old dollar peak.

At the same time, the market has clearly cooled. Price growth fell from 5.4% in 2025 to 1.4% over nine months of 2026, closing prices are 0.4% lower than a year ago, mortgage deeds are down about 34% and the stock for sale keeps growing.

Our base case is 0% to 3% a year in dollars for the city as a whole. Some barrios and really good apartments can do much better; ordinary ones can stay flat.

We would turn more bullish if mortgage deeds rise clearly and listings start to fall. Without that, expecting another 5% to 10% citywide rise each year looks too optimistic.

Scenario What we would see Likely price outcome Fit today
Bull case Mortgages rebound, listings fall, incomes improve Faster gains Not visible yet
Base case Strong sales, stable peso, weak credit 0% to 3% a year Best fit
Flat case Listings keep rising, mortgages stay weak Roughly flat Quite plausible
Bear case Devaluation shock, weaker demand, wider discounts Dollar prices fall Possible, not the trend

Our methodology

This article estimates whether apartment prices in the City of Buenos Aires (CABA) are likely to keep rising, by looking past the headline asking-price index: price momentum, sales, mortgages, the stock for sale, closing discounts, rents and yields, construction, affordability, the economy, the peso, taxes and population.

Asking prices, model apartment prices, the gap to the old peak, neighborhood moves, building costs in dollars and gross yields come from Zonaprop's CABA report for September 2026; closing prices and negotiation margins from the M² Real index (RE/MAX, UCEMA and Reporte Inmobiliario, September 2026); sales and mortgage deeds from the Colegio de Escribanos de la Ciudad (August 2026); listings from Monitor Inmobiliario and La Nación; new versus used prices and five-year changes from IDECBA; permits from CEPA and Tejido Urbano; national mortgages from Tejido Urbano and the central bank; rents from Zonaprop via Infobae; Núñez from TuLugar.

Tax rules come from Law 27.802, Decree 406/2026 and tax advisers' notes on non-resident landlords; mortgage terms from Banco Nación, Banco Ciudad and the FGS auctions; inflation and construction costs from INDEC; growth and inflation forecasts from the IMF's October 2026 outlook; exchange-rate forecasts from the central bank's REM survey; population from the 2010 and 2022 censuses.

We checked these figures in October 2026. Peso amounts are converted at about ARS 1,550 per US dollar (official and MEP rates were within 1% of each other on 22 October 2026, the blue rate about ARS 1,570), and euro amounts at about ARS 1,740 per euro.

Where we had no direct figure, we did simple math (the year-ago mortgage share from the Colegio's totals, the year-ago yield from Zonaprop's payback period, the rise needed to reach the old peak) and said so. Zonaprop did not publish a 12-month change for apartment asking prices in September 2026, so we used the change since January and the closing-price index instead. Closing discounts for 2022 to 2025 are yearly averages of the M² Real series. Neighborhood prices from different portals are not strictly comparable.
