Compare apartment asking prices in Montevideo
Use compatible USD sale listings, unit areas and verified locations while keeping an entire building separate from its apartments.
Compare Montevideo apartments using sale asking prices in USD, individual unit areas and locations you can check. An entire building's outline cannot supply the area of one apartment. A wider-area price reference also cannot establish a uniform price for every home in a neighbourhood.
Define a comparison another person could repeat
Record the geography, observation date, property type and transaction. Uruguay coverage checked on September 22, 2026 supported apartments for sale with observations in USD. It did not automatically enable houses or rentals, and it did not guarantee enough evidence for every apartment.
For each listing, retain its link, original amount, observation date, stated area and the definition of that area. Record floor, orientation and other attributes only when a source supplies them. A building name does not reveal those characteristics for an individual unit; unresolved details become questions for a viewing.
Preserve the original listing rather than rewriting all advertisements into an apparently uniform description. Differences and omissions are part of the evidence you need to assess.
Keep the unit distinct from the building
Palacio Salvo is a recognisable example. Its observed building record showed a 1,809.73 m² footprint, no unit area and no matched parcel. The outline therefore does not describe the area of an apartment offered within the building.
A supported apartment cohort for Uruguay does not justify valuing the entire Palacio Salvo from this footprint. It also does not establish that two nearby listing pins refer to the same building or unit. Identify the advertised object before attempting a comparison.
Review the group before summarising prices
Look for repeated photographs, descriptions or unit details that suggest duplicate advertisements. One apartment advertised several times should not automatically receive several times the weight. Check whether coordinates identify a precise location or simply a neighbourhood centre.
Area definitions need equivalent care. If one listing includes components another excludes, price per square metre preserves that discrepancy rather than solving it. Keep original figures and record why you include or reject an observation.
Retain the geography of the result
An area reference summarises the stated group. It cannot promise a price for a particular street, floor or orientation. If local evidence is inadequate, Terraes may show a broader reference or no estimate. Neither should be relabelled as a specific unit value for convenience.
Asking prices differ from completed transaction amounts and fiscal values. A shared summary should include geography, date, currency, property type, transaction, sample size and statistic. Changing the display currency leaves the original comparison group unchanged.
Read comparable quality, review parcel and unit areas, or return to the Uruguay hub. The methodology explains shared concepts while retaining the Colombian estimator's stated scope.

Mapped footprints do not establish legal ownership or apartment floor area. Advertisements describe asking prices; area references are neither recorded sale prices nor official appraisals.
