How to use it to decide: the subsidies and the planned savings of housing of social interest apply to new housing that meets the conditions of the program; this table shows how much published offer (especially used) falls below these prices, as a reference to what is achieved with that budget. Confirm with the building or the compensation box if a particular building is VIS.

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.
- Topes: VIS = 150 SMMLV = $262,635,750; VIP = 90 SMMLV = $157,581,450, with the minimum wage of 2026 ($1,750,905). They are compared to the price requested; it is not verified if the property is certified as VIS.
- 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.
