A published month is only recomputed for a stated reason, and that month’s report says so. · Download CSV

Yes, with no restrictions whatsoever. Foreigners in Colombia have the exact same rights as citizens to purchase any type of property, including land. You don't need residency or a special visa. The purchase is formalized through a public notary, who verifies the title, drafts the contract, and registers it with the Public Registry. Closing costs are around 3-4% of the property value (notary fees, transfer tax, and registration fees). Many foreign investors also apply for temporary residency, which is relatively easy to obtain in Colombia.

Methodology

This page analyzes 17,609 listings in Barranquilla, Colombia.

Metrics are calculated from the active inventory TuLugar monitors across the market — both listings published on TuLugar and active agency supply tracked continuously. They are asking prices, not final transaction or closing prices.

We use medians to reduce the effect of outlier properties; $/m² only includes listings with valid area data. Prices in other currencies are converted to USD using the exchange rate available when the snapshot is refreshed.

Data is recalculated daily and can change when listings are published, updated, or deactivated.
