Bogota, Colombia, generally enjoys high yields, with an average gross rental yield of 7.62% in the upscale districts we researched. The highest yields were found in St. Barbara and Chico, at 9.74% for 335-350 square metre apartments.

Since it is rather unusual for such large apartments to have the highest yields (the almost universal rule is smallest apartments = highest yields) this suggests that money is flowing rather freely amid Bogota’s increasing prosperity, and that construction at the top end of the market has not yet caught up with demand.

Yields for Santa Barbara houses average around 5.81% - not bad for landed houses.

Chapinero apartments of between from 100 to 250 sq.m sell for US$ 136,400 to US$ 383,000 per square metre.
