Peru
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
4.25%
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 Peru.
Valuation against its own history
Not measured
The OECD house-price dataset does not carry Peru.
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
4.25%
Central bank policy rate, 2026-07. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The fifty-kilometre border zone | In forceNot stated by the source | On the way in | Land only | As to property, foreigners — whether natural or legal persons — are in the same position as Peruvians, and may in no case invoke exception or diplomatic protection. But within fifty kilometres of the borders, foreigners may not acquire or possess, by any title, mines, lands, forests, waters, fuels or sources of energy, whether directly or indirectly, individually or in partnership, on pain of forfeiting the right so acquired to the benefit of the State. The only exception is a case of public necessity expressly declared by supreme decree approved by the Council of Ministers in accordance with law. The sanction is forfeiture rather than a penalty, and it reaches indirect and corporate holdings, so a structure that puts a local entity between the buyer and the land does not escape it. | Constitución Política del Perú (1993), artículo 71. Read from the text published by the Jurado Nacional de Elecciones. | 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 constitutional restriction on foreign ownership was read from the published text of the Constitution. The BIS policy rate gives the cost-of-money layer; the euro reference rate does not carry the sol and the OECD dataset does not carry Peru. |
|---|---|
| Dossier | None written. Layers and rules only, which is why this market reads as “Measured” rather than reviewed. |
