For those of you readers interested in BA property we decided it would be a good idea to put together a quick reference ‘cheat-sheet’ for how to find properties in the city… so here are some of the best links for doing that…
To orientate yourself, this is great map of the city (you can plug in any address to find the location): http://mapa.buenosaires.gov.ar/sig/index.phtml
This website features the Multi-Listing Service (MLS) of Argentine property: http://www.topinmobiliario.com/
The problem is that many properties are not added to the MLS. So here are some of the top sites and agencies for the more popular areas (most have listings across the city):
Recoleta
http://www.realestate.com.ar (Probably the best agency in BA)
http://www.toribioachaval.com.ar/
Palermo
http://ojopropiedades.com.ar/
http://www.shenk.com.ar/
http://fastpropiedades.com/
http://www.enbuenosaires.com/
San Telmo
http://www.leticiafirpo.com/venta.php?criterio=precio
This is a good list of available ‘casas’ across the city: http://www.leporepropiedades.com.ar/SOM/vta_casas.htm
Buenos Aires Craigslist has many interesting and new listings. If you have some Spanish language knowledge La Nacion classifieds and the Clarin classifieds are good.
A recommended resource is the Argentina: Owner’s Manual from International Living.
Good luck!

Hi there!
I’m reading today about energy cutbacks and i’m wondering how this is affecting BA, it’s tourism and it’s future?
Fortunately, here in Fortaleza, Brazil, when this happened in 2001, the government took action and we have not had that kind of problem since.

Really for as much as this might be in the papers, locals aren’t affected by these “energy cutbacks”. I’ve lived here 3.5 years and I’ve never experienced a blackout here in Recoleta where I live. I have purchased a few hundred apartments and we actively manage about 150 and while there have been some electricity problems with some buildings it wasn’t related to any cutbacks.
Electricity bills are regulated here and it’s extremely cheap. I don’t see it affecting tourism as I’ve never heard about any hotels affected either.
