It reports that while there has been an increase in property listings, rental prices continue to rise, albeit at a slower rate than inflation. The average monthly rent for a two-room apartment in Buenos Aires reached $873,668 in July 2026, marking a 17.5% increase since the start of 2026, which is still below the 19.2% inflation rate. The article highlights significant price variations across different neighborhoods, with Puerto Madero being the most expensive and Lugano the cheapest. It also notes that the supply of rental properties increased significantly after the law was repealed but has since moderated.
