Real estate data reveals best districts to buy property in Lima

In-depth Lima housing market tips

Reports from real state companies have revealed in-depth information on the current state of the Lima housing market in 2017.

The National Association of Real Estate Companies of Peru (ASEI) and the Association of Real State Developers of Peru (ADI Peru) have released information based on transactions last year.

The data reveals that the most expensive homes in Lima are in San Isidro, the economic center of the city, with an average value of $241 per square foot, followed closely by the exclusive Barrancos and Miraflores districts.On the other end of the scale, homes can be found in Ancón, in the north end of the city, for as low as $50 per square foot.

In the middle of the spectrum we find districts such as Callao, along the northwest coast of the city, as well as Ate, on the easternmost end of the city.

Housing in Lima can be found anywhere from $20,800 to $988,730, according to ASEI. The districts with the most activity in the housing market were Comas, San Miguel, Jesús María, Miraflores and Breña.

Interesting findings include that Jesus María, a traditional area in central Lima which contains the National Stadium, is the one with the most houses for sale, even when accounting for population density, at very affordable prices.

San Martin de Porres, Puente Salvador and Villa El Salvador are the ones with the least offering, perhaps related to the fact that these display some of the lowest prices per square foot in the city along with a high proportion of unfinished construction and blueprint projects.

Financially, the housing market remains stable and optimistic. “The increased sales during August are due to a recovering market, reaching a relative stability projected to last for several months,” Marco del Río, president of ADI Peru, told RPP.

  • Del takes on the question, “Is now a good time to invest in real estate?” by debunking

    concerns related to interest rates, inflation, and other economic factors people worry

    about. You’ll want to listen to this show to learn why it’s always the right time to invest

    in real estate.

  • I was planning to cut costs by moving from expensive NJ down to FL, but then I met my wife. She wanted to stay in NJ for several reasons (family, doctors, etc.), so we remain here. If that situation ever changes, I’d be happy to reap the benefits of arbitrage. Sounds like timing and employers who allow you to telecommute were on your side. Glad it worked out so well for you!

  • This is the dream of every person to live in a splendid house with his family because you want and find the perfect house, in the perfect place so your kids can have a perfect childhood. This is the main reason that chooses the best place. Before buying the property, first, see the location and community. When you find all the facilities then your life will be beautiful.Text marketing
