RBC: the cost per square meter in Moscow has grown by 19 percent over the year
271 thousand rubles, which is 19 percent higher than last year's figures. The leaders in terms of growth rates were named Krylatsky, Meshchansky and Altufevsky districts of the capital. This is evidenced by the results of a study by “Avito”, extracts from it are quoted by RBC.
The highest growth in real estate prices was recorded in the Krylatsky district. The average price per square meter there rose by 46 percent and amounted to 292.3 thousand rubles. It is followed by Meshchansky district with 45 percent growth (499.2 thousand rubles) and Altufevsky district with 44 percent (245.7 thousand rubles).
“In ten regions that are leaders in price growth, there are several thousand active ads with a price range of 7.7 million to 1.1 billion rubles per object. In the near future, it is expected that the trend towards an increase in the number of offers will continue, and the rate of price growth will stabilize. But a significant drop in prices for secondary housing in Moscow is not to be expected – owners are less and less willing to make discounts, preferring to wait for a buyer who is ready to pay the full price, “said Dmitry Alekseev, head of primary and suburban real estate at Avito Nedvizhimost.
< p> Within the old borders of Moscow, most of all, “secondary housing” with a free layout has risen in price – their average cost increased by 27 percent, to 389.1 thousand rubles per square meter. At the same time, this type of housing accounts for only 0.4 percent of the demand. Studios have increased by more than a quarter in price – up to 253.5 thousand rubles per square meter. The demand for them is much higher: 12 percent of buyers are interested in them. Traditionally, the most popular one-room and two-room apartments have risen in price equally – by 21 percent. Prices for this type of housing rose to 275 thousand and 270 thousand rubles per square meter, respectively.
In October, experts told why apartments on the secondary housing market in Russia will not fall in price in the near future. First, mortgage rates remain acceptable to Russians – Moscow recently set a record for the number of such loans. Secondly, there is a shortage of quality supply on the market, which is why the demand for secondary housing remains high.
