Now, these situations seem to be lagging behind: Universities are already organizing the return to classrooms for the next school year in 2022 thanks to the advance of vaccination that is allowing little by little to return to a certain normality (although still with the necessary care) and students are beginning to consult to move closer to their place of study.
Proof of this is the intense demand for rental by students from all over the country in most of the main traditional student cities, such as La Plata, Bahía Blanca, Córdoba and Mendoza.
Agustín Tea Funes, president of the Chamber of Real Estate Brokers of the Province of Córdoba (Cacic), commented to Ámbito that “there was an exodus of students during the pandemic, but at this moment the real estate companies are having “a lot of inquiries and there is no longer as much supply available as in the previous two years”.
University students in Córdoba
In cordoba, the real estate sector has been warning for two months an increase in inquiries and rental contracts are already being closed, especially in departments over 20 years old. This was assured by Tea Funes.
The value of these rents is between 19,000 and 24,000 pesos in Nueva Córdoba, compared to a brand new two-room apartment whose ticket reaches up to $ 30,000 pesos in the same area. The expenses, in this case, are around $ 4,000.
Alejandro Caballero, head of AJ Caballero Propiedades, said that “there is evidence of a recovery in student rents” but that “perhaps for the 2022 school year the occupancy levels prior to the pandemic will not be reached, especially in the first months of summer ”.
According to a Cordoba real estate broker, “prior to Covid-19, it happened that you published an apartment in the summer months before the start of classes, and we received inquiries from at least 20 students. I don’t think that will happen now, especially considering that universities analyze a bimodal system (face-to-face and virtual) ”.
University students in La Plata
The Demand is intense in the city of La Plata and a flood of students is expected for next year, there are already multiple consultations and contracts are being closed. This was confirmed by Marcelo Babenco, from Babenco Negocios Inmobiliarios, from La Plata.
In that city, the National University of La Plata has an enrollment of 140 thousand students, to which the students of the Catholic University and other houses must also join.
“The The offer is very generous and the departments located in the vicinity of the universities / colleges are the most requested”, He added, adding that La Plata is third in the ranking of student arrivals only behind the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and Córdoba.
Babenco, in any case, estimated in dialogue with Ambit that “the distance study modality, implemented by La Plata universities, is here to stay and many students will continue to use it with the logical savings of rent, transportation, food and miscellaneous expenses.”
In the capital city of the province of Buenos Aires, the 2-room apartments near the faculties (semi-center) are between 16 and 22 thousand pesos, depending on square meters, quality and age of the building, to which between 4 and 5 thousand pesos of expenses must be added. The values show an increase of 50% in relation to a year before.
University students in Bahía Blanca
Students who study and rent in Bahía Blanca went through the same situations as their peers in other student cities, so the real estate market in that city is currently with a large supply of 2-room homes and – for now – there has not been a noticeable increase in inquiries for rentals. This is how Carlos Esteban, owner of the homonymous real estate agency in that city, put it to Ámbito.
Today, it is possible to find studio apartments with values between $ 9,000 to $ 12,000 and standard two-room apartments in the university area between $ 14,000 to $ 17,000.
“We hope that 2021 Bahía Blanca will once again be the cultural and educational beacon that it always knew how to be, welcoming all the students who found their place in the different academic centers of our environment to develop the future they dreamed of,” Esteban concluded.
Students in the city of Mendoza
Santiago Debé, from the homonymous real estate agency in the city of Mendoza, told Ambit that one of the most demanded rentals are offices that were recently converted into homes as a way of getting through the pandemic and the economic situation ”. There is also a significant number of queries per hostel, which offer cheaper prices.
The real estate entrepreneur said that the largest number of students from the universities of the City of Mendoza come from other cities in the province and from San Juan and San Luis.
The value of the real estate, considering two rooms, is between 35,000 and 40,000 pesos, to which must be added the expenses.
