How this data is collected and processed+

Data sources: Airbnb, Argenprop, Zonaprop, and MercadoLibre, scraped daily across the Buenos Aires metro area. Prices converted to USD at the current blue rate via dolarapi.com.

Statistical trimming: bottom 10% and top 20% of prices removed per segment to exclude outliers, bait listings, and luxury properties that distort medians. Minimum $200/mo filter applied.

Furnished classification uses three signals: is_furnished flag, has_wardrobe flag, and description keywords (amoblado, amueblado, equipado). Bed capacity from photo analysis supplements text signals.

All-in monthly cost includes base rent, building fees (expensas), estimated utilities ($40 + $4 per sqm + AC surcharge), amortized guarantee, and amortized broker fee. Airbnb prices include all platform fees and taxes.

Data is refreshed weekly. Reports are published monthly, typically within the first week.
