Record year for the real estate market: where more was sold and at what prices

The real estate market is going through one of its best moments in decades. The purchase and sale of properties showed a strong rebound during 2025 and consolidated a scenario of high activity, with a special impact in Mar del Plata and southern GBA.

Driven mainly by the return of mortgage credit, the sector closed with figures that had not been seen for more than 20 years.

A record year for home sales

By October, more than 115,000 real estate transactions had been recorded in the province. In that month alone, 15,321 deeds were signed, which represented a year-on-year increase of 37%.

In addition, the number showed 7% growth compared with September, confirming the strength of the second half of the year and a sustained recovery of the sector.

Mortgage credit, the main driver

One of the key data points was the strong advance of financing. In October, 2,600 mortgages were recorded, almost double the figure for the same month in 2024.

Guillermo Longhi, president of the Buenos Aires Notaries Association, emphasized that the consolidation of mortgage lines is essential to expand access to housing.

Where more was sold: Mar del Plata and southern GBA

The interior of Buenos Aires Province played a leading role. General Pueyrredón, with Mar del Plata as its head city, led the ranking with 1,697 deeds and 322 mortgages.

La Plata and Vicente López also stood out, while Bahía Blanca and the provincial capital were prominent in mortgages. In southern GBA, areas such as Lanús Este, Lomas de Zamora, and Las Lomitas concentrated strong demand due to their proximity to CABA.

Prices and opportunities

According to sector operators, a one-bedroom apartment is priced between US$80,000 and US$85,000. A two-bedroom unit is around US$110,000 to US$120,000.

In the interior of Buenos Aires Province, prices are between 30% and 50% lower, which continues to attract buyers who are looking for bargain prices.
