Market Dynamics
- Current supply (relative level among neighborhoods): High
- Months of stock: 2.7
Malvín presents a high supply of properties for sale, which favors buyers. With 2.7 months of stock, the neighborhood has significant inventory compared to estimated monthly demand. This indicator typically represents a balanced to buyer-leaning market, where there is a variety of options and less upward price pressure.
The abundance of supply allows for greater negotiating room: it is common for transactions to close 5-10% below listed prices. This represents an advantage for those looking to buy with time to evaluate options and compare properties in different areas of the neighborhood (from the coast toward the interior, with varying features and amenities).
Conclusion
Malvín is consolidating itself as an attractive neighborhood for 2 profiles: residential buyers seeking a balance between affordability, quality, and location, and medium-term investors interested in stability. Average prices (USD 246,000 for 2-bedroom units), gross yields of 5.3%, and high supply create real buying opportunities without speculative urgency.
The neighborhood is ideal if you value public transportation, services, parks, and a well-established community at prices lower than Pocitos or Punta Carretas, but with better amenities than more distant areas. For renters, it represents a market with stable demand and rents aligned with the investment. For sellers, this is a moment for patience: with high supply, it is worth highlighting unique features and being flexible in negotiations.
