In the enclosed link is a chart showing the increase in Apt. Rentals 2009-2015 in the City for 2/3 ambientes...! The average increase is 4 times. :eek:

I noticed (felt) the 300% increase in PH rental price in Palermo between 2012 - 2014.

It seems so unfair to those of us unable to finance a home purchase. Yet we continue to pay these higher rents. I think inflation has distorted or perception of value.
 
Unbelievable rent increases are NOT ONLY happening in BsAs. My other home is in Seattle, where we own a small apartment building. Sometimes I cannot believe the how much we get for a small apartment.

Imagine if you raise your rent 20% per year for 5 years because you have to build in inflation into your thinking - whether there's 20% inflation or not, mind you (as there wasn't when I first started long-term leasing, not anywhere close, yet it was in the contracts in my first rental in 2007). That right there is a 120% increase in 6 years, over three long-term contracts. Now add in everybody doing it and rental contracts being staggered as far as when they start and end and you start seeing other owners who are renting out their apartments at higher prices than what you're renting out, and the average inflation contract charge going from 20% to 30%. You're between contracts and so you raise the rate significantly (happened to me in my last apartment after 4 years living there - the owner tried to raise it 70% for my third contract and I told him to stick it).

That sure lends to the increasing price of rentals.

It's ridiculous. It's a symptom of 1) the unstable, uncertain economy (not just since the 2001/2002 time, but way longer) and 2) many people who want to take advantage of the unstable economy to justify raising prices. It's reflected in salaries as well and helps push up the real inflation created from "printing" money by inflating the basic cost of housing significantly, usually one of the biggest single-item expenses in anyone's budget..

It really makes things difficult for everyone. And yeah, such a strong, robust economy (Matias).

Welcome to Argentina. The Paris of the South, yet soooo affordable! :)

But RichardRPTownley, never fear! Scioli will save the day by forcing that evil inflation down to single digits and will force those evil banks to give regular people like you and me access to long-term, low-interest rate mortgages! (according to his campaign, anyway)
 
The rent in dollar is still about the same, right ? So, this is really due to the printing of pesos.

24 month rental prices have actually increased a lot in dollar terms in the last 3 years after many years of previous stability.

The 3 QEs by the Fed ?
The QEs seems to be not that big, but you can see the price increase at restaurants and supermarket, A humble dinner for 2 is easily $50,
and decent one for two can be $100 easily, and housing in CA, a significant jump in price.
The real estate price passed the all time high, which was considered ridiculous. The rental price went up by 50% to 100% since 2009 crash.
 
Flats are bought with dollars, hence blue rate applies for rent. Still, too expensive, but that's free market in non-free market state...
