São Paulo Micro-Apartments Yield 8.15% Annually, Outpacing Larger Units

A Flow Imóveis study of 1,058 buildings in São Paulo shows 20-30 m² apartments deliver a gross median annual rental yield of 8.15%, the highest among all size ranges, with yields declining as unit size increases. This signals a structural shift in investor preference toward micro-units in Brazil's largest real estate market, potentially influencing new construction and pricing dynamics. The data is based on listings, not closed transactions, so actual yields may vary.
