Foreign Buyer Activity in Buenos Aires Real Estate, Q1 Note
This note does not cite a Colegio de Escribanos table, a foreign-buyer percentage, or a buyer count for the first quarter. Those figures were not found in a public dataset during this review, so they are not stated. Palermo, Recoleta, and Puerto Madero are named only as neighborhoods buyers ask about. Longer market commentary is in the Buenos Aires real estate analysis.
What this note does not claim
It does not claim that foreign-buyer activity climbed. It does not claim that a Golden Visa program is accelerating purchases. The October 2, 2026 announcement states a Treasury contribution or a public bond, not a property purchase. Government applications are not yet confirmed as open.
Sources

Frequently Asked Questions
Does higher Q1 foreign-buyer activity mean the Golden Visa launched?
- No. Foreign-buyer activity in Buenos Aires real estate is a property-market observation. It is not an APCI announcement that citizenship-by-investment applications are open.
Can I qualify for Argentina citizenship by investment by purchasing real estate?
- Purchasing real estate has not been announced as a qualifying route for Argentina citizenship by investment. The October 2 announcement identified two principal investment routes: a US$350,000 non-refundable contribution to the National Treasury and a US$800,000 subscription to a government bond created specifically for the program.
Should this report be used as a price forecast?
- No. It reports a period of buyer activity. It does not publish a guaranteed appreciation rate or a Golden Visa price list.
