Greater Buenos Aires Rents Jump Over 50% in 2025, Outpacing Inflation and CABA

A structural housing shortage in the conurbano together with inflation-linked indexation drove the surge.

Overview

  • In December, typical three-room units in the GBA topped ARS 1,027,269 per month, while one-bedroom averages neared ARS 742,000, according to Reporte Inmobiliario.
  • On comparable unit types, average rents in the GBA now exceed those in Buenos Aires City, reflecting thinner multifamily supply outside the capital.
  • Analysts report that post-repeal market changes reduced perceived owner risk and slowed the pace of listed-price increases, yet the rebound of investor interest has not materially expanded stock.
  • Rental dynamics in CABA show closer alignment with inflation and an average gross yield of about 5.47% at end-2025, with higher returns in lower-priced neighborhoods such as La Boca, Balvanera, Once, Parque Patricios and Villa Lugano.
  • Tenant budgets in the GBA face added strain from building fees that agencies estimate around ARS 170,000 per month, while most new contracts adjust quarterly to CPI, tying short-term moves to broader inflation trends.
