Real estate deeds in Buenos Aires fell 8.8% in November

In November 2025, real estate purchase deeds in Buenos Aires dropped 8.8% compared to the same month in 2024, with 5,250 operations signed. Despite the decline, the total transaction value rose 51.5% year-over-year to $885.985 million pesos. The sector is slowing down, affected by fewer mortgages, according to the College of Notaries.

The real estate market in Buenos Aires recorded an 8.8% drop in purchase deeds in November 2025, totaling 5,250 acts compared to 5,755 in November 2024, according to a report from the College of Notaries of Buenos Aires. The total value of these transactions reached $885.985 million pesos, a 51.5% year-over-year increase. Compared to October 2025, activity fell 25.2%, from 7,018 operations.

Over the first eleven months of 2025, deeds with mortgages hit 13,065, a 238% rise from the previous period, making it the best year since 2017. However, November saw only 737 mortgages formalized, down 22.4% annually. The average deed value was $168.759.187, equivalent to US$115.718 at the official exchange rate, with a 16.3% increase in dollars and 66.1% in pesos.

Magdalena Tato, president of the College, projected that the year will close near 70,000 operations, ranking among the top six best since 1998. "We are on track to close the year near 70,000 operations," she stated. She noted that the slowdown in mortgages, which halved from October, curbs the multiplier effect on other purchases. If nearly 14,000 mortgages are totaled, it would be the second-best year since 2009.

Tato stressed the need to stabilize economic variables and revive long-term credit to boost the sector: "The most relevant for the recovery of deeds will be stabilizing economic variables and recovering long-term credit. Until that happens, we will see an oscillating and expectant market."
