Santiago Residential Values Jump 4.7% Year-Over-Year This Quarter

Santiago apartment and house prices advanced 4.7 percent in the second quarter of this year when set against the equivalent months of 2025.

The gain comes at a moment when average transaction prices across the city sit at 85 million Chilean pesos, a level that has drawn more overseas purchasers while local families weigh moves between established districts and newer suburbs.

Transactions along Avenida Apoquindo in Las Condes and near Plaza Italia in Providencia accounted for a large share of the recorded sales, according to data compiled by the Cámara Chilena de la Construcción. Foreign buyer interest has concentrated on units with direct metro access in those two neighborhoods, where listings now clear 10 to 14 days faster than they did twelve months earlier.

Premium districts post strongest quarterly lift

Las Condes and Vitacura together registered a 6.1 percent increase over the same quarter last year. Properties on Calle El Bosque Norte in Vitacura traded at an average 105 million pesos, while similar-sized units on Avenida Kennedy in Las Condes reached 98 million pesos. The two communes continue to attract buyers from Argentina and Brazil who cite relative price stability and established rental yields as the main draw.

Providencia and Ñuñoa followed with a 4.3 percent rise. Sales near the intersection of Avenida Providencia and Avenida Pedro de Valdivia averaged 82 million pesos, up from 78.6 million pesos in the second quarter of 2025. Local agents note that demand from young professionals relocating within the city has kept inventory tight in these blocks.

Outer communes record steadier but solid advances

Maipú and Quilicura posted 3.9 percent growth over the same period last year. New projects along Avenida Pajaritos in Maipú moved at an average 62 million pesos, while units in the Quilicura sector near the train station cleared at 55 million pesos. Both areas have seen increased foot traffic from families priced out of central districts.

Citywide data released this week by the Servicio de Impuestos Internos showed 2,840 residential transactions in the second quarter, 11 percent above the same three months of 2025. The average price per square meter now stands at 1.82 million pesos, compared with 1.74 million pesos twelve months earlier.

Prospective buyers should check current listings on Portal Inmobiliario and contact local notaries early, as several banks have signaled possible rate adjustments before the end of August.
