July 2026 BA Real Estate update

Monthly real estate market update for Buenos Aires

Welcome Avatar! While I was counting the June deed data for Buenos Aires a couple of things happened, and they all ended up in the same place: somebody else deciding what you may do with property you paid for.

Yesterday the Senate voted on a private property bill, but unfortunately the one door everyone was hoping would open up foreign direct investment (the rural land cap), remained firmly shut.

In tandem, the Argentine Central bank was asked to release the bank reserves that fund mortgages, and said no. Besides this, multiple judges are ruling in favor of mortgage delinquents, and leaving private banks to pay for the difference.

Todo bien, total normalidad.

Below I will explain why these three things will have a lasting impact on the Argentine real estate market, and why the count for transactions and mortgages is now running in opposite directions.
