# Translation Colombia's new housing market began 2026 with a contradictory signal: while prices continue rising above inflation, the supply of projects is contracting at an accelerated rate, especially in segments aimed at lower-income families. Figures from the Dane's New Housing Price Index (IPVN) revealed that the country faces growing pressure on housing access amid elevated construction costs, credit restrictions, and lower subsidy availability. The most critical situation is recorded in Cali, where housing aimed at income brackets 1, 2, and 3 became more expensive by 44.97% in the last year, the highest variation reported in any segment or region of the country.
