The 2018 exchange rate crisis drove the economy into a strong recession that ended the mortgage spring that had led the previous year's growth. There are still no clear signs of a solid recovery in the sector, although the outlook for 2020 is positive. There are opportunities for improvement in terms of housing.

Home sales in July declined from the previous month while demand drivers showed more moderate gains in a favourable financial environment. Prices accelerated their growth in 2Q18 and the signing of building permits in June and July showed a higher growth than expected.

The macroeconomic situation continues to favour home sales. Meanwhile, the issuance of new construction permits in April corrected for some of the growth of the two preceding months, although employment in the sector is still rising. This comes on the heels of a first quarter in which home prices went up in all regions, albeit only modestly in most of them.

House sales remained virtually stable for the second month in a row. This is accompanied by an increase in housing prices and a slight correction in the signing of building permits in 4Q17.
