The medium simple mix different neighborhoods (new buildings are concentrated in certain areas); the paired premium compares similar apartments and is the best measure of the effect of age.
How to use it to decide: an older building can give more meters for the same money, but it reviews the state of networks, facade, elevators and the sismorresistant regulation: what you save in price can go on repairs and extraordinary rates.

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.
- Antiquity: years declared in the announcement. Matched premium: weighted median price differences per m² compared to apartments from 11 to 20 years 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.
