Argentina
Measured
Currency movement
Not measured
The European Central Bank publishes no euro reference rate for this currency, so there is no twelve-month entry window to state.
Foreign-buyer rules
1 of 1 published rules apply
These are the restrictions a foreign buyer meets before price is even discussed — approval regimes, surcharges, ownership limits.
What it does not show. It is not a completeness claim. A rule we have not read is not a rule that does not exist, and this row counts what is cited, not what is in force.
Cost of money
29%
The price of money to banks in this jurisdiction, which sets the floor everything else is priced from.
What it does not show. It is emphatically not a mortgage quote. What a non-resident is offered is a different number, usually much higher, and the gap between them is where a market's financing story actually lives.
Supply against absorption
Not measured
No statistics agency for this market has been read and cleared for republication.
Residential price cycle
Not measured
The OECD house-price dataset does not carry Argentina.
Valuation against its own history
Not measured
The OECD house-price dataset does not carry Argentina.
On the market now
Not measured
No listings platform has been read for this market. The one platform this site can read covers Russian cities only, and inventing a count for anywhere else would be worse than an empty row.
No dossier has been written for this market yet. What follows is the measured layers and the rules, each with its source — not an argument about whether to be here. A market reaches this page as soon as two layers can be cited, because an unwritten thesis is a reason to publish less, not a reason to publish nothing.
The series behind those figures, and the workings
Cost of money
29%
Central bank policy rate, 2025-06. Source: Bank for International Settlements.
This is the price of money to banks, not the price of money to a non-resident buying a building. The gap between those two is where a market’s financing story actually lives, and it is not in this number. A mortgage quote for a foreign buyer depends on the lender, the asset and the borrower, and no public dataset carries it.
BIS terms permit this figure on a free page and state that nothing in their statistics constitutes investment advice. They also allow inclusion in a commercial product only where it adds no charge, so this series is published here and is not priced into any paid work.
Background
Annual national statistics from the World Bank, under a licence that permits reuse with attribution. They describe the country; they do not time an entry, and they are not counted as measurements of this market — otherwise every territory on earth would claim to be measured on the strength of one dataset.

What the rules do to a foreign buyer
Each entry cites the instrument and the authority page it was read from, with the date it was retrieved. Facts of law change; the retrieval date is how you know how old this reading is.
| Topic | In force | When it bites | Applies to | What applies | Instrument | Read on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceilings on foreign-held rural land | In forcefrom 2011-12-27 | On the way in | Land only | A limit of fifteen per cent (15%) is set on all ownership or possession of rural land in the national territory by the foreign persons the chapter regulates, and that percentage is computed again over the territory of the province, municipality or equivalent administrative entity in which the rural property sits — so a national headroom figure says nothing about whether a particular district is already full. Natural or legal persons of one and the same foreign nationality may in no case exceed thirty per cent (30%) of that percentage. The rural land of any single foreign owner may not exceed one thousand hectares (1,000 ha) in the core zone, or an equivalent area according to territorial location, determined by the Inter-ministerial Council on Rural Land. | Ley 26.737, Régimen de Protección al Dominio Nacional sobre la Propiedad, Posesión o Tenencia de las Tierras Rurales, arts. 8, 9 and 10. Sanctioned 22 December 2011, promulgated 27 December 2011. Read from the consolidated text on InfoLEG. | 2026-08-16 |

What supports this, what would make it wrong, and how it could go
Record
| Why this market is on the list | Added when its rural land ceilings were read from the consolidated text on InfoLEG. The BIS policy rate gives the cost-of-money layer; the euro reference rate does not carry the peso and the OECD dataset does not carry Argentina. |
|---|---|
| Dossier | None written. Layers and rules only, which is why this market reads as “Measured” rather than reviewed. |
