Evolution of Argentine mortgage and real estate finance

Overview

The Argentine real estate sector is seeing a reactivation of long-term mortgage credit, supported by government initiatives to address the historical mismatch between short-term deposits and long-term loans. Economy Minister Luis Caputo announced a 2 trillion peso program utilizing the ANSES Sustainability Guarantee Fund (FGS) to provide funding to banks via public auctions. This initiative aims to facilitate between 17,000 and 18,000 mortgage loans, primarily for the acquisition or renovation of first homes.

In response, several financial institutions have adjusted their offerings. Banks including Banco Macro, Banco Entre Ríos, ICBC, Santander, and Credicoop have introduced or reduced rates for UVA-indexed loans, with many targeting salary depositors with rates around UVA + 7.5%. Additionally, a niche market for modular housing has emerged, with Banco Provincia, Banco Ciudad, and Banco Hipotecario offering specialized credit lines.

Despite these developments, challenges remain. Data from Fundación Tejido Urbano indicates that while average loan amounts rose by 23% to approximately USD 100,600, the total volume of credits granted between January and July 2026 (14,237) was significantly lower than in 2025 (44,612). The market also shows high regional concentration, with Buenos Aires and CABA accounting for 64% of all credits. Furthermore, developers continue to face hurdles in securing financing for the initial stages of construction projects due to difficulties in proving creditworthiness.
