Real estate speculation increases in the city of São Paulo, says Loft

Real estate speculation increased in the city of São Paulo. This is what the new EXAME-Loft Speculometer Index points out, which brings together EXAME and Loft, one of the main startups dedicated to the real estate market in the country.

Real estate speculation is measured by means of the average price difference between the amount requested by the owner and the amount actually agreed in the contract, that is, there is a negotiation opportunity for those who want to buy a property. Loft analyzes announced values and ITBI data (tax on real estate transactions) released by the City of São Paulo.

According to the survey, of the 57 neighborhoods analyzed, 49 had speculation above 10% (difference between the announced price and the closing value of the contract in the transactions). Rodger Campos, economist at Loft, explains that part of this effect is a reflection of the mix of properties that were transacted in the period: smaller and new properties.

“In times of government changes and possible changes that may affect relevant components of the real estate market, such as interest, income, sectoral incentives, among others, it is important to assess the trajectory and trend of the market. In this way, seller and buyer can reduce the likelihood of leaving money on the table and will be able to speed up the negotiation journey, at least from a price agreement point of view.”

The Bela Vista neighborhood, located in the central area of São Paulo, has registered an increase in real estate speculation, with the highest speculation indicator among the evaluated neighborhoods. The difference between the announced price and the closing value of the contract in transactions is 35.30%. In the region, the price per square meter is R$8,407.

Another highlight was the Jardim São Paulo neighborhood, located in the north of SP, and with a price of R$5,000 per square meter. In the region, the difference between the announced price and the closing value of the contract in transactions is 31.13%. According to Loft, the average typology transacted in the analyzed period was properties of 150 m² and aged 30 years.
