The price
Flores averaged USD 4,667 per hectare in 2025, down 11.7 % on 2024, leaving it slightly above the national figure.
Just 32 contracts in the year
Across all of 2025, Flores registered 32 purchase contracts covering 3,747 hectares. That is the lowest transaction volume of any department. Canelones, for comparison, recorded 175.
That number matters more than it looks. An average drawn from 32 cases is sensitive to a single large or unusual sale. The 11.7 % fall therefore does not necessarily mean land in Flores got cheaper. It may equally mean different properties traded this year.
How to buy in a thin market
The departmental average works here as rough orientation, not as a valuation benchmark. Valuation only becomes reliable through CONEAT soil ratings and through comparables from the neighbouring departments of Florida, Durazno and San José, whose markets are deeper.
