Machine-assisted English version of the Spanish original by Aptología. All figures are locked to the original (numbers are copied, not re-translated); if in doubt, the Spanish original prevails.
Within the same estrato, new buildings in Bogotá charge more HOA fee per square metre: in estrato 6, $10,181 per m² per month in buildings 0 to 2 years compared to $8,299 in those 21 to 30 years. The most important amenity of the rate is a gym: 3.6% more per m² than in comparable buildings without it. In the whole city, the simple median is $6,462 per m² in new buildings and $7,438 in those over 30 years, because new ones are concentrated in lower estratos.

How much the rate increases each amenity
| Threat | Increased HOA fee per m² (paired) | Comparable groups | Ads with the amenity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gym | +3.6% | 296 | 15,307 |
| Surveillance or goalkeeper | +3.1% | 317 | 22,802 |
| Pool | +3.0% | 115 | 3,297 |
| Elevator | +2.4% | 306 | 21,474 |
| Zone BBQ | +0.3% | 183 | 6,033 |
| Closed set | -2.4% | 301 | 13,241 |
How to use it to decide: multiply the value per m² of your section by the apartment area to estimate the rate if the ad does not bring it. Each amenity costs every month: if you are not going to use the pool, a building without it can save you an important sum per year.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the HOA fee per square metre in Bogotá? It depends mainly on the estrato and age: in estrato 3 it goes from $4,105 (21 to 30 years) to $4,384 per m² (0 to 2 years); in estrato 6, from $8,299 to $10,181 (medium, data from 18 October of 2026).
Does the pool go up the HOA fee? Yes: gym + 3.6% per m²; swimming pool + 3.0% per m² in front of comparable buildings without it.
Why is the HOA fee more expensive in new buildings? Within the same estrato, new buildings often have more common areas, elevators, surveillance 24 hours and equipment to maintain; old buildings have less services, although they can charge extra rates for repairs.
Methodology
- Source: live housing ads collected by the intake of Aptology in Metrocuadrado, Fincaraíz, Cienaltes, Wasi, Habi, Houm and Domus, from 11 to 18 October of 2026. Court: 18 October of 2026.
- Debugging: the same property published several times is counted only once (grouping by portal and, between portals, by price, area, rooms and coordinates). Prices and areas out of range are excluded and, for rent, HOA fee is subtracted when the portal includes it in the rental.
- What is measured: prices ordered (published), not closing prices.
- HOA fee per m²: monthly rate informed and area of the ad. No zero or disproportionate price rates are excluded. Increase by amenity: weighted median of the differences in HOA fee per m² within groups of the same estrato, locality, rooms and area range.
- Limitations: are prices ordered in portals, which may differ from the final value of rental or sale. The coverage is higher in the north of Bogotá and in estratos 4 to 6, because the published offer is concentrated there. The neighborhoods and the town come from what each portal writes; when the town is missing it is assigned by the nearest neighbouring ads.
