TL;DR
- The 23% increase in Colombia's minimum wage is directly impacting administration fees for properties under the horizontal property regime.
- Services like security and cleaning, which constitute 60-65% of a property's costs, are heavily influenced by the minimum wage.
- Administration fees are expected to rise by an average of 18-20%.
- Rent increases are legally capped at the previous year's IPC (5.1%), and cannot automatically include administration fee hikes.
- Landlords who include administration fees in the rent will see reduced profitability.
- The dismantling of housing programs like 'Mi Casa Ya' is reducing new housing supply, increasing pressure on used housing and rental prices.
- FedeLonjas proposes reactivating housing subsidies, strengthening social renting, and digitalizing real estate transactions.
