Abstract

The dynamics of the real estate market in the City of Buenos Aires, between 2001-2011,
turned housing more inaccessible for the low and middle income population. This can be observed
in both land and housing square meter prices, as well as in rent values, among other variables.
Consequently, housing deficit became greater during this period, which accounts for the increase
of informal settlements (villas and asentamientos). Public and private consulting statistics on the
evolution of real estate market prices, square meters built, mortgage loans, etc. were the sources
with which this paper was drafted. The article seeks to show that, even in the context of improving
socio-economic indicators, the operation of the housing market, in the absence of policies that seek
to counteract, tends to restrict access to housing for large segments of the population.
