Argentina Real Estate Market – Second Half of 2025
The Argentina real estate market in the second half of 2025 presents a diverse set of opportunities for international investors and locals alike. From luxury apartments in Buenos Aires to vacation homes in Bariloche and San Martín de los Andes, this guide analyzes the key cities and regions where investors can maximize returns and minimize risks.
Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires remains a major hub for tourism, business, and expatriates. Prices in U.S. dollars are attractive, especially in neighborhoods like Palermo, Recoleta, and Puerto Madero. Short-term rentals (Airbnb) are regaining demand due to a resurgence in tourism, offering annual yields around 6.5%. Emerging neighborhoods like Villa Devoto are also showing growth in rental interest.
Bariloche (Patagonia)
Bariloche is a top destination for winter sports and summer tourism, with strong demand for vacation homes and rental properties. Lakefront cabins and chalets command premium rates, and short-term rental yields are attractive. Investors should be mindful that liquidity may be lower than in Buenos Aires, so planning for longer-term investment horizons is recommended.
Córdoba and Villa Carlos Paz
Córdoba, a university city, sees high demand for rental properties in neighborhoods such as Nueva Córdoba and Güemes. Villa Carlos Paz attracts tourists during both summer and winter seasons. Investments in pre-construction apartments (“departamentos en pozo”) are growing, offering potential appreciation over the coming years.
San Martín de los Andes & Junín de los Andes
These emerging Patagonian cities are gaining attention from investors seeking vacation properties and short-term rental income. The natural surroundings and year-round tourism make them attractive, though careful market analysis is necessary to evaluate seasonal occupancy and pricing.
Mendoza
Mendoza is well-known for its wine industry and tourist attractions. However, short-term rental yields have decreased in recent months, with occupancy dropping from 55% to 47%. Competition from hotels and alternative accommodations requires strategic planning for investment in this market.
