26DEC24 "The average price per square meter in Quito has reached $1,215 in 2024, making it one of the most affordable cities in Latin America to purchase housing.
This is supported by the Latin American Real Estate Survey study, by the Center for Research in Finance of the Torcuato Di Tella University and Plusvalia, from the end of 2024, which reports the price per square meter of 13 cities in eight countries in the region.
The affordability of housing in Quito is determined by comparing it with prices in other cities in the region. For example, the price per square meter in Montevideo reaches $3,454, that is, almost three times the price in Quito.
In contrast, the average price per square meter in Mexico City is $2,706, and in Buenos Aires $2,540.
These are the cities that lead the ranking of the most expensive in the region. In Buenos Aires, prices have risen 5% in dollars, amid economic measures adopted by the government of Javier Milei to control inflation.
"In a context of high prices in the main cities of the region, the real estate market in Quito stands out for its relative accessibility and stability, which favors both investors and local buyers," says Plusvalia.
Gonzalo Rueda, general manager of the market consultancy firm MarketWatch, announced that the price per square meter in Quito has remained stable or decreased over the last year. He made this statement at a seminar with the brokerage firm Mercapital.
However, the phenomenon in Guayaquil is the opposite, with an increase in the average price being reported. What is the reason for the behavior of property prices in Quito?
Several factors influence this, including oversupply, which is evidenced by the fact that the number of completed projects on the market is increasing, especially in the case of houses, said Rueda."

On the return leg of their drug runs, these groups engage in predatory and illegal shark fishing to satisfy the voracious demand of the Asian market, operating with the support of the Chinese distant-water fishing fleet present on the high-seas."
🇲🇽 — "The Mexican portal 'Milenio' reports that the cartel "Jalisco New Generation" (CJNG) has officially deployed an elite unit "Operadores Droneros". These are no longer just hired killers but a fully military-organized structure using modern military technologies.
What is known about the "narcomilitary" in Mexico:
-- Ukrainian trace: According to intelligence reports from the state of Jalisco, CJNG fighters underwent special training in Ukraine. There they were taught to operate strike drones and urban warfare tactics. This enabled the cartel to introduce military standards of operation: working in pairs, covering, and tactical withdrawal;
-- Technologies: The main strike force became the industrial drone DJI Matrice 300 RTK. Investigative journalist Jorge Martinez notes that this drone is widely used in the Ukrainian conflict zone for dropping explosives. It carries up to 3 kg of explosives, operates at night with thermal vision, and conducts reconnaissance at a distance of 20 km;...
