The short answer: in Medellín, apartments currently ask a median of about US$2,514 (COP 7,894,737) per square meter built, as of 3 Sep 2026. Built area and land are measured on different bases and differ by roughly an order of magnitude, so the table below keeps them apart rather than averaging them into a number that describes nothing.

A type with no figure has too little active inventory in Medellín to publish a median we would stand behind. We would rather publish nothing than a number built on a handful of listings.

How to read this
A median is the middle of the market: half the active listings ask more, half ask less. It survives outliers where an average does not, which matters in Medellín, where one tower or one estate can be several times the price of everything around it. Two things move a per-m² figure more than anything else here: the stratum and the age of the building for apartments, and access and topography for land. Before you conclude a price is high, check which of those the property has, and whether the seller is quoting built area, lot area, or the two added together.
What this is not
This is not an appraisal. A formal avalúo is a professional service with legal standing, performed on one specific property by someone who visits it. It is also not a record of what properties sold for: Colombian sale prices are recorded in the escritura and are not public, so every figure here is what sellers are currently ASKING.
