How long does it take to rent an apartment in Bogotá? Days published by neighborhood and price (October 2026)

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.

An apartment for rent in Bogotá has been published in the medium 32 days, and 3 of each 10 have been more than 60. The price is heavy: below $1.5 million the median is 25 days and above $7 million, 62 days (half takes more than two months). The 2 rooms are the ones that last the least published (27 days).

Abstract: 11,618 active apartments of Fincaraíz and Cienbícas with date of publication, without duplicates, cut to 12 October of 2026.

Updated: 12 October of 2026 · Next update: monthly.

What it measures and what it doesn't: We measure how many days each ad that is still active (the age of the announcement) has been published, not the exact time until the contract is signed. It is the best indicator available today: our intake began on 9 October of 2026 and still does not have enough closed ads to measure time until leases. We'll update it with that data. The ads that are rented quickly come out before the sample, so these figures exaggerate some real time; they serve to compare neighborhoods and prices to each other.
