Latin America's housing boom It's not all froth Big price hikes at the top end reflect a new, richer reality ... Beneath the froth of the luxury market, the Latin American reality is a long-standing shortage of property. Peru has a housing deficit of around 900,000; estimates for Brazil’s vary from 5m to 7m. Many governments in the region are chipping away at the problem by offering subsidised housing loans to the lowest-paid. But the market impact is limited by tight government budgets. Arguably the recent price rises at the top end are simply a correction after many years in which quality housing could be picked up cheaply by the few people in the region able to pay in cash.
