Despite the inflation and slowdown suffered by the economy in Latin America, the surplus value of the residential square meter in the most exclusive neighborhoods of the capitals of the region tends to remain. The differences are given by the conjuncture of each country, which acts on the price of land and constructions.
Bloomberg Línea made a ranking based on real estate portals and brokers in Latin America. In most countries the values are expressed in dollars, except Colombia and Mexico, where properties are quoted in local currency and Chile, where the value is calculated in Development Units. However, the final report shows the actual prices converted to dollars to unify and compare.
