Residential property in Argentina averages $2,218 per square metre. That makes it the 221st most expensive of the 264 markets in the set.

What a buyer pays in Argentina

The $2,218 figure is a national average across all residential property types, which flattens a wide spread — the capital typically runs far above it and small towns far below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 10.9% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $24,176 on top of the $221,800 purchase price. That is above the 9.5% median across the set — the entry cost is part of the investment case here. Inside Argentina we also track Buenos Aires separately, where the average is $2,471 — 11.4% above the national figure.

What it earns

A square metre lets for about $10.8 a month. Against a purchase price of $2,218 per square metre that is 5.8% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 97th of 311 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 21%, which takes the yield down to 4.6% net. The 1.2-point difference between the gross and net figure is the part most listing sites leave out.

How the tax works. Flat 21% of the gross rent: the law deems 60% of a non-resident's rent to be net income (Income Tax Law art. 104 g) and taxes it at 35% (art. 102) as a single and final withholding. Because the deemed margin is a percentage, peso volatility does not change the rate. Source: FACPCE.

Who can buy in Argentina

Freehold; restrictions in border and rural areas. That is the rule a foreign buyer meets first, not legal advice — check the current position locally before you commit.
