We’ve pointed out how the BA real estate market may be getting over-heated… but as we’ve recently stumbled on some interesting properties we’re going to hedge those comments… :) and say that it really depends on the neighborhood and the individual property.

Good deals are definitely still out there, but they’re not everywhere…

Some of the pre-construction deals look pretty good in Palermo Viejo/Hollywood, a new loft-style apartment for $60-$100k… My clients are not on the market for that kind of thing, but might be good for someone. Though we’ve noted the rental market is getting more staturated. It won’t be as easy as it used to be to rent the place out.

 By the way, the agencies with the most listings for the Palermo area are:

http://www.shenk.com.ar/

To find a special place, you really have to look diligently, on foot in the neighborhood and online. Many agencies do not put things on the Argentine MLS… and for some reason sellers will use small agencies where it’s impossible to find the listing, except for seeing the sign outside the property… That’s been our experience anyway…

It’s all worth it when you find a fantastic apartment/house in the best part of a great area… for a fraction of what it would cost in the US or Europe…
