// KEY FACTS
◆ PRIMARY STRATEGY · FLIP
Editorial judgments, 1 to 10, set by the curator. Not algorithmic. See methodology →
The entry math works: 4.85M/m² against same-size El Tesoro asks of 9.59M and 13.38M per m² is the deepest relative discount of this batch. It scores a 6 because everything after entry is harder here: hillside El Tesoro exits move slower than the flat zones, duplex layouts polarize buyers instead of maximizing them, and a 950M ticket renovating toward a 1.5B-plus exit needs the exact family buyer who wants four bedrooms on two floors. The margin is real; the buyer pool that pays for it is narrow.
◆ TWO WAYS TO READ THIS
Buy this as a home with embedded upside, not as a yield vehicle. The 43% band discount gives an owner-occupier family a margin of safety no renovated El Tesoro listing offers, and if life changes force an exit after renovating, the same-size comps at 9.59M and 13.38M per m² say the equity is recoverable. As a pure rental the size and hillside work against every income mode: MTR yields are thin at honest occupancy, and the long-term family tenant caps rent below the furnished model. The investment case is the discount, the exit comps, and living well in between.
Four real bedrooms plus service quarters across two levels — the configuration relocating families search for and rarely find below 1.5B in El Tesoro. Jacuzzi and walk-in in the master, terrace and balcony for the climate, one parking space (verify whether a second is negotiable; families here usually need it). El Tesoro mall covers daily life; the school corridor along the Transversal is the zone's quiet selling point. Budget the interior refresh the price is telling you about.

What La Lonja recorded for your zone. Not a forecast for this listing.
La Lonja’s 265 Edition reported Zona 5 (Poblado, Envigado, Sabaneta) apartment valorization at 7.82% in 2024. The 2025 land study (published April 2026) recorded 7.5% real for Envigado municipality, consistent with a sustained mid-single-digit-to-high pace.
Lonja groups Poblado, Envigado, and Sabaneta as Zona 5 (sub-market variance is real). Figures are nominal COP; real appreciation in high-inflation years (~13% in 2022, ~5% in 2024) is lower.
Appreciation figures: La Lonja de Propiedad Raíz de Medellín y Antioquia (2024 zone-level apartment index, 2025 land study). Context from Camacol Antioquia (trade group) and DANE / Banco de la República. We show the range. We do not predict which one happens.

Range assumes professional management at 22% plus sales tax (IVA), 20% withholding tax, 7.5% exit yield, and renovated condition.
Lower bound reflects conservative occupancy (75%) and lower-tier finish. Upper bound assumes strong occupancy (88%+) and premium finish targeting professional medium-term rental tenants. Estimates, not guarantees.

◆ CONDITION NOTES
The listing reads executive-spec from its era: master with walk-in closet and jacuzzi, service bedroom with bath, integral kitchen, balcony plus terrace, duplex layout. That spec pattern usually dates the build to the late 90s or 2000s, and at 43% below the band midpoint the honest assumption is that the finishes date with it. Duplexes hide wear on stairs and double-height details; walk both levels before pricing the refresh.

// How we got this number
Adjusted asking-comp estimate. Not an appraisal.
A four-bedroom hillside duplex is about as far from the Medellín furnished-MTR sweet spot as El Poblado stock gets. The tenant pool at this size is relocating families and the occasional executive group, with long voids between them, and the hillside location adds a car dependency the 30-day guest resents. Measured 3+BR El Tesoro rents of 6.6M to 9.9M monthly put post-tax yield at 3.7% to 6.5% on the ask — the top of that range assumes an occupancy this unit type rarely sustains. Long-term family rental is the realistic income mode.
As a home this is the strongest of the batch: 196m² across four bedrooms and two levels, service quarters, terrace, and El Tesoro mall's groceries, cinema and clinics a short drive or long walk away. Hillside means views and cooler air. It loses points for the car dependency that comes with the hill and for the renovation the price implies — but for a family planting a flag in upper Poblado, this is the shape of unit that never comes up cheap.
Wrong shape for rental income.
4BR hillside duplex misses the MTR pool entirely. Underwrite as owner-occupied or long-term family rental only.
Hillside car dependency.
Daily life runs on wheels here. That narrows both tenants and exit buyers versus the flat zones.
One parking space listed for a 4BR.
Families at this size typically need two. Verify if a second space conveys or can be bought.
Duplex exits are slow.
Two-level layouts polarize buyers; expect a longer sale than the discount suggests.
