TL;DR
- A historic minimum wage increase in Colombia is significantly raising construction costs, particularly for labor-intensive projects like social housing (VIS).
- The elimination of demand-side housing subsidies, such as Mi Casa Ya, has led to a substantial increase in purchase cancellations.
- Proposed government regulations for VIS may further reduce profitability by simplifying price ranges and fixing prices in pesos from the initial purchase agreement.
- Developers are increasingly reorienting investments towards non-VIS housing due to greater flexibility and reduced regulatory uncertainty.
- A reduction in VIS supply could exacerbate housing affordability issues, deepen social exclusion, and negatively impact employment and related industries.
- International experience suggests that price controls on housing often lead to reduced supply and longer waiting times for formal housing.
