A closer look at the sample

All these breakdowns keep your selected location, property type, bedrooms and currency.

Includes aggregates, filters and the catalogue date. No personal data is included.

From the lowest asking price to the highest

Percentiles show the proportion of asking prices below each value. They are not recommended rents.

The middle 80% of prices ranges from $20,000 to $35,000.

From the lowest asking price to the highest
MeasureMonthly rent (UYU)How to read it
Observed minimum$8,500The lowest price in this sample; it may relate to an unusual property.
10th percentile$20,000Approximately 1 in 10 prices falls below this value.
25th percentile$23,500The lower end of the middle half of prices.
Median$27,000Splits prices into two halves; extremes have less influence than on the mean.
75th percentile$30,000The upper end of the middle half of prices.
90th percentile$35,000Approximately 9 in 10 prices fall below this value.
Observed maximum$185,000The highest price in this sample; it is not a market ceiling.
Mean$27,388The sum of rents divided by the number of properties; it is sensitive to extremes.

Asking rents by floor area

Compare properties of similar sizes. The chart does not control for condition, precise location or features, and does not imply that extra space causes a particular price.

Built and total areas are calculated separately. Total house area is excluded because it may include land.

Listings without this information are excluded from that breakdown; missing data does not mean zero.

How complete is the data?

The base is your current selection of 9,791 properties. Bars show data availability within this selection; they do not measure the share of the Uruguayan rental market covered.

  • Common expenses in the same currency7,047 of 9,791 (72%)
  • Valid built area2,586 of 9,791 (26.4%)
  • Valid total area2,731 of 9,791 (27.9%)
  • Number of bathrooms8,720 of 9,791 (89.1%)
  • Number of parking spaces734 of 9,791 (7.5%)
  • Listing observed again within the last 48 hours0 of 9,791 (0%)

Seeing a listing again confirms a recent observation, not its publication date or that the property is still available.

Where this selection comes from

Each property contributes one observation, attributed to the listing used in the calculation. Counts by portal do not measure its total coverage; some duplicates across sources may remain.

Does it show in the rent?

We compare the asking rent per square metre of 38 neighbourhoods and towns with each neighbourhood figure. Each dot is a neighbourhood: the median of its apartments with a published built area (at least 15 per area).

Areas with more sewerage complaints ask less per m²: from an area in the lowest quartile (21.8) to one in the highest (42.5), rent per m² falls 10.3 % (95 % interval: -19.6 % to +0.5 %).

Estimate the rent for a home

Compare your home with listings in the same area, of the same type, bedroom and bathroom count, and similar size.

These are asking rents, not signed contracts or an appraisal. No price guarantees a tenant: condition, light, floor and terms also matter.

Describe the home to see the range of rents advertised by competing listings.

What these data tell you, and what they leave out

The sample uses catalogue listings with advert-specific evidence, read within 10 days. Each home contributes one observation per currency. Some cross-portal duplicates may remain; coverage is not exhaustive. The analysis is recomputed once a week; a listing the community reports as unavailable stops counting right away.

Half the asking rents fall below the median and half above. The 25th–75th percentile band shows the middle half of supply; it is not a confidence interval or a minimum-to-maximum range.

Currencies are not converted in this analysis. Total cost is calculated per listing only when rent and known expenses share a currency. Its sample may be smaller; it is not the sum of two medians.

Dashboard rent per m² uses declared built area. The estimator lets you select built or total area and always compares the same area basis.

These are advertised prices, not agreed rents. Listing counts do not measure demand, vacancy or time to let. This view describes the current catalogue and cannot establish whether the market rose or fell.

Another perspective: registered contracts

INE indicators let you contrast listings with registered rental contracts. They cover different populations and periods, so their levels are not directly equivalent.
