Price has always been one of the decisive factors when making decisions about purchasing housing in Moscow, and due to the depreciation of the Russian ruble and the decline in real incomes of the population, its importance has only increased. In the new season of business activity, due to currency instability and the introduction of stricter rules governing the activities of developers, experts predict an increase in the cost per square meter of housing.
1. Average price of one sq. m in a new building within the Moscow Ring Road - 206 thousand rubles
Currently the cost per sq. meters per square meter was recorded on average at 206 thousand rubles. But realtors are confident that in the future there will be an increase in prices for apartments in new buildings, as new rules regulating the activities of developers are being introduced. At the same time, experts note that since real incomes of the population are falling, construction organizations will have to keep prices from sharp jumps. Another limiting factor will be strong competition: according to experts, today developers have already received official permission to build more than 10 million square meters. meters of housing.
2. Average price of one sq. m in New Moscow - 107 thousand rubles
In the summer, the real estate agency Metrium recorded a sharp increase in the cost of one square meter. meters of housing in New Moscow - by 7.7% compared to the beginning of the year. Now the average price is 107 thousand per sq. m. meter. This growth, according to experts, is caused by the start of housing sales in more expensive projects.
3. At the end of August 2018, the price increase for new buildings in the capital ranged from 1% to 3%
The depreciation of the ruble in combination with the entry into force of the law on shared construction led to a rush of demand for apartments in new buildings in the capital. Developers responded to increased demand by increasing prices, increasing them by an average of 1-3%. At the same time, the increase in prices for some apartments amounted to one third of the total cost. The unstable economic situation affected not only mass housing, but also elite housing. According to data provided by Savills, in new luxury houses the price of one sq. m. meter has increased by 120 thousand rubles and amounts to 880 thousand rubles. And if previously consumers on average spent 69 million rubles on the purchase of luxury housing, now they will have to shell out 75 million.
4. Average price of one sq. meter of housing on the secondary market of Moscow - 196 thousand rubles
In August 2017, the price of one sq. meter of residential premises on the secondary market was 197 thousand rubles. Then there was a decrease in cost, and now, a year later, on average one square meter of residential space costs 196 thousand rubles. Thus, over the year the price fell by 0.7%. This data is provided by the Domofond.ru website. Despite the decline in prices, the secondary housing market, due to the weakening position of the ruble and the decline in deposit rates, has become more attractive for investment. But such interest in secondary housing, according to experts, is more likely to lead to an increase in real estate prices.
5. The most expensive penthouse in Moscow costs $26 million
According to Savills experts, the most expensive penthouse in Moscow is located near the Patriarch's Ponds. Despite the fact that the house is still under construction, the cost of luxury apartments there, with an area of 600 sq. m. meters, amounts to 1.7 billion rubles (about 26 million dollars).
6. Average mortgage lending rate - 9.57%
The cheaper a mortgage costs a borrower, the faster the real estate market develops. Today, there is high instability in exchange rates, and a new package of sanctions is being introduced. All this can lead to an increase in mortgage rates, making it less affordable, and this, in turn, will lead to a slowdown in the housing market. The Central Bank announced back in July 2018 that the average mortgage rate has increased and now averages 9.57%. At the same time, from September the Central Bank plans to increase the key rate, which will lead to another increase in the mortgage rate.
7. The average mortgage payment in Moscow is 38.3 thousand rubles per month
Since Moscow is the leader in housing costs, the average mortgage payment is the highest in Russia: 38.3 thousand rubles. This is 3-4 times more than in some regions with the lowest prices. Such regions include the Altai Territory and Udmurtia, where the average mortgage payment per month is 11-12 thousand rubles. According to information received from the United Credit Bureau, mortgage payments in the country average 16.7 thousand rubles.
8. The average cost of rental housing in the capital is 53.9 thousand rubles per month
As for real estate rental in Moscow, according to Miel-Arenda, everything is more stable here. The average rent has increased by about 1-1.5 percent since January 2018, and this figure has remained virtually unchanged since economic crisis. According to Avito.ru, a Moscow resident spends an average of 53.9 thousand rubles on rent per month. At the same time, rent studio apartment will cost him an average of 33.5 thousand rubles, a 2-room apartment - 48.9 thousand rubles, a 3-room apartment - 82.2 thousand rubles.
9. The lowest price for renting a one-room apartment in the capital is fixed at 19,900 rubles per month
The Inkom-Real Estate agency posted on its resources information about a one-room apartment in Moscow with the lowest rental rate. This apartment is located on the ninth floor of a panel high-rise building on the street. Guryanov. In the summer of 2018, the rental price for this apartment was 19,900 rubles per month.
10. For 300 thousand dollars you can buy the most expensive parking space in Moscow
Two residential complexes in the capital can boast of this price for a parking space, approximately equal to the cost of a cozy 3-room apartment in a new premium class building: on the Old and New Arbat.
In the real estate market, it is customary to operate with “round” numbers. It’s clearer, more visual, and more convenient for buyers and sellers. So we, when determining the level of affordability of Moscow housing, decided that 100 thousand rubles per meter is the most appropriate figure, a psychological threshold, beyond which it seems to be expensive. And in Moscow you can find new buildings at this price, not only in the New one, but also in the “old” one. If you are ready to move beyond the Moscow Ring Road, then these offers are for you.

Moscow: search beyond the Moscow Ring Road
Let’s say right away that such a cost per square meter is not typical for Moscow. As explained director of strategic development FSK "Leader" Pavel Bryzgalov, in Moscow, starting sales prices are more than 120 thousand rubles / sq. m. m . To achieve a price of 100 thousand, “the developer has to sacrifice something - either the quality of construction or the location,” says founder of the urban planning bureau Master's Plan Yulia Zubarik. We can agree with the second part of this statement unconditionally - almost all complexes with a similar price in old Moscow are located outside the Moscow Ring Road. With a few exceptions, and these exceptions are practically adjacent to the Moscow Ring Road on the other side.
How many housing units are there in the capital for “one hundred square meters” or so? A little. Experts interviewed by “” define its share of the total supply as 4-5-6%. According to information Andrey Ostanin, commercial director of Etalon Group, There are only seven Moscow properties under implementation with an average price of up to 110 thousand rubles per sq. m. m. In the company "IRN-Consulting" They are also talking about seven residential complexes. “According to the analytical IT platform bnMAP.pro, with a weighted average price of 1 sq. meter 100-110 thousand rubles. within the old borders of Moscow, 28 buildings are proposed in 6 different residential complexes,” he cites similar statistics Irina Dobrokhotova, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the BEST-Novostroy company.
As already mentioned, most cheap new buildings are located outside the Moscow Ring Road or in best case scenario nearby, or rather in Zelenograd, in the areas of Nekrasovka, Biryulyovo, Solntsevo, in Northern, Southern Butovo, Southern Chertanovo. According to Irina Dobrokhotova (BEST-Novostroy), the bulk of housing is offered in the Nekrasovka residential complex - 23 buildings. Also, apartments with an average price per meter in a given range can be found in the residential complex “My address on Dmitrovsky 169” (Northern district, Altufyevo metro station), “My address on Bazovskaya” (Western Degunino, inside the Moscow Ring Road), “Zagorie” (Eastern Biryulyovo, inside the Moscow Ring Road). In the residential complex "Vlyublino" (Lyublino, inside the Moscow Ring Road) the average price per sq. meters in a building with apartments slightly exceeds 110 thousand rubles. You can also consider apartments in the “Barberry” project (Bibirevo, inside the Moscow Ring Road) (the average price for the building is 110.7 thousand rubles).
Panel prevails
What kind of housing can you expect with this price per meter? First, we are talking about housing for the people, the mass segment (economy and comfort). AND most of proposals are panel houses. “83% of the supply of apartments with a low cost per square meter is concentrated in 7 new buildings built using panel technology,” comments Vladimir Kashirtsev, General Director of the ABC of Housing company. But there are, of course, monoliths; as Irina Dobrokhotova (BEST-Novostroy) notes, these are the Zagorye residential complex and projects with apartments.
The stage of construction is different: early, middle, there are even buildings and houses that have been put into operation and at the stage of installation and finishing works. Most apartments with affordable prices are in large-scale complexes (“Nekrasovka”, “Zagorie”, “Severny”).
As for infrastructure, as explained General Director of VSN Realty Yana Glazunova, it is created together with the region, but in the immediate environment there is an already established one. Transport accessibility is generally average, although in the future it will be good, as there are prospects for the opening of new metro stations.
The residential complex "Barberry" (metro Bibirevo) and the residential complex "Vlyublino" (metro Lyublino) are located closest to the metro stations among the affordable projects per meter, says Irina Dobrokhotova (BEST-Novostroy). A metro station will also open soon in Nekrasovka, but not all houses will be equally close to the subway, since the microdistrict is vast. There is a prospect of constructing a metro in the Severny microdistrict, but for now it can be called uncertain.
Buyers appreciated
Cost is the determining factor when choosing an apartment in the mass segment, recalls one of the fundamental laws of the market, Vladimir Kashirtsev (“The ABC of Housing”): “And when the low budget of an apartment due to the reduced cost per meter allows you to choose an option near or even inside the Moscow Ring Road, then such an offer is in great demand. This is confirmed by consistently high sales rates, for example, in such residential complexes as “Nekrasovka” and “Meshchersky Les” (Solntsevo).”
“Our company was engaged in the sale of apartments in two of the projects listed above - in Nekrasovka and on Bazovskaya Street,” Irina Dobrokhotova (BEST-Novostroy) shares her experience. “We can say that at that time these were some of the most sought-after properties, since buyers appreciated the purchase budget, the prospects for the construction of a metro, in addition, the apartments were handed over completely ready for living, with renovations from the developer.”
Nekrasovka
Since the most popular “folk” residential complex is Nekrasovka, it is worth telling about it in more detail. Information about other objects is in the table below.
In the Nekrasovka microdistrict, some of the houses have already been commissioned and are moving in, and the installation of some of the houses has been completed and it is planned to register the property soon, says Vladimir Kashirtsev (Azbuka Zhilya). Houses are built using panel housing construction technology, mainly the P-44T, P-44K, P-3M panel series. The cost of a one-room apartment in houses whose installation has been completed starts from 3.8 million rubles, a two-room apartment – 5.2 million rubles, a three-room apartment – from 6.9 million rubles. In houses that are already occupied, the cost of apartments is on average 700 thousand rubles more expensive. The cost is also affected by the distance from the location of the future metro station. “Nekrasovka” is being built by the state enterprise “Civil Construction Administration”, this structure is subordinate to the Moscow Construction Department. In addition to housing, the area has two clinics, 10 kindergartens, 7 schools, a health club, and 6 surface parking lots.

New Moscow: closer to “old” Moscow
A larger selection of inexpensive new buildings opens up if you move to New Moscow. Here the proposals will be more interesting in terms of construction technologies, architectural projects, and landscaping. That is, the “Novomoskovsky” residential complex will be higher level, more comfortable than the “old Moscow” one. But the road to the city center is longer, the metro and infrastructure are under construction. So this is a purchase for the future.
According to IRN-Consulting, in New Moscow, at a distance of up to 10 km, there are 16 residential complexes with a price of up to 110 thousand rubles (there are 26 in total), that is, approximately 62%. According to the statistics cited Maria Litinetskaya, managing partner of Metrium, member of the CBRE partner network, in New Moscow there are 18 new buildings, where the price is below 100 thousand rubles; in total, 36 residential complexes are sold in TiNAO, in which the average price per square meter is 104,210 rubles.

You can count on increased comfort
Cheap new buildings are scattered throughout New Moscow at different distances from the Moscow Ring Road, but within 10 km there is a very good choice. If we focus on the price of 100,000 rubles per meter, then from the point of view Olga Valchuk, General Director of JSC Regiondevelopment, for this money you can buy an apartment in modern comfort-class residential complexes, with modern improvement concepts, developed infrastructure and good transport accessibility; many projects in the future will be provided with metro stations within walking distance. As in Moscow, large-scale development and infrastructure prevail here. “Low quality new economy class buildings are in the minority,” emphasizes Maria Litinetskaya (Metrium).
Victor Prokopenko, Director of the Real Estate Department of Sezar Group draws our attention to the fact that in New Moscow 100 - 110 thousand rubles / sq. m. m is the budget of the vast majority of proposals at the construction stage, that is, from the foundation pit to the completion of monolithic work. “At the stage of construction readiness, popular projects with stable demand, as a rule, step over this bar,” says the expert.
A buyer focused on a cost of 100-110 thousand rubles per square meter in New Moscow can count on a monolithic house at a comfortable distance a few kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road, with convenient integration into the system public transport, formed by the infrastructure within a radius of comfortable access today, and in the future - by its own infrastructure as part of the residential complex. “That is, with a budget of 100 thousand rubles. the buyer does not “fit” into the request “no matter what, the main thing is his own apartment,” but chooses a residential complex that suits his lifestyle,” concludes Prokopenko.
Clients are interested in the metro
As for demand, according to the observations of Maria Litinetskaya (“Metrium”), the TOP 10 for sales in New Moscow includes the following projects: New Vatutinki District, “Spanish Quarters”, “Buninsky Meadows”, “Southern Bunino” and “White Nights” " Over the entire period of implementation, the average monthly sales rate in these new buildings was 106 apartments, which is higher than in many projects in “old” Moscow. All five sales leaders are located within walking distance from existing or future metro stations; buyers also appreciate the “city within a city” format (as in New Vatutinki).
Morally obsolete new buildings or projects with poor transport accessibility, despite the low cost per square meter of up to 100 thousand rubles, do not sell well.

According to JLL analysts, in 2016 the Moscow shopping center market increased by 455.5 thousand square meters. m. As a result, the total market volume exceeded 5 million sq. m. m, and the supply of shopping centers in the Russian capital increased to 407 sq. m per 1 thousand people.
In the 4th quarter of 2016, the volume of commissioning decreased by half compared to the same period of the previous year - to 85.3 thousand sq. m. m. The Butovo Mall shopping center (54.9 thousand sq. m), TGC "Kievsky" (20 thousand sq. m), 3rd stage of Vnukovo Outlet Village (5.9 thousand sq. m.) entered the market ) and the 2nd stage of the Fashion House Outlet Center (4.5 thousand sq. m). Overall, the volume of new space decreased by 16% for the year.
JLL experts expect a further reduction in new supply in the Moscow shopping center market in 2017. 277 thousand square meters are announced for release this year. m of new high-quality centers, which is 39% lower than the result of 2016 and will be the minimum figure in four years. Among the largest announced objects are Vegas Kuntsevo (113.4 thousand sq. m), the project of the ENKA TC company on Kashirskoye Shosse (71 thousand sq. m), Vidnoe Park (27.5 thousand sq. m. m).
According to JLL, in the 4th quarter of 2016, the share of vacant space in Moscow shopping centers decreased from 8.5% to 7.5%. The dynamics of the average market indicator is primarily due to a significant decrease in the volume of vacant premises in a number of shopping centers that have been opened over the past three years and have improved their performance, in particular, attendance and turnover. Against the background of a decrease in the volume of commissioning and an increase in tenant activity, JLL analysts expect a further reduction in the share of vacant space to 7% by the end of 2017.
“Today we are seeing significant differentiation of objects in the retail real estate market,” comments Ekaterina Zemskaya, Regional Director and Head of the Retail Space Department at JLL. – If in the period 2014-2015, even in successful, “prime” objects, a significant amount of vacant premises appeared, then in 2016 the share of vacant space in the highest quality shopping centers, characterized by a strong pool of tenants and a professional team, decreased to minimum values and does not exceed 1-2%. It is important to note that this dynamics was typical not only for long-running shopping centers, but also for recently opened facilities.”
“In 2016, especially in the 2nd half, we observed a revival of activity in the Moscow retail market. Most of the professional operators who have been optimizing and restructuring networks over the past couple of years have approved a plan for further action and resumed development, notes Polina Zhilkina, Director for Russia and the CIS, head of retail consulting at JLL. “Subject to further stabilization of the economic situation and the gradual filling of vacant space in quality shopping centers, we will see an increase in activity from developers who previously suspended new projects in the retail real estate market.”
According to JLL analysts, for 2016 Russian market 47 foreign retailers entered the market compared to 39 in 2015. Among the most striking and famous new discoveries are the American lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, the Mexican amusement park KidZania, American cosmetics brand Urban Decay, cult French cafe Ladurée, English clothing brand Superdry. Fashion retailers have traditionally been the most active, accounting for almost half of the debuts.
At the same time, three foreign brands left the Russian market: the American lingerie brand La Senza, the American coffee shop Magnolia Bakery and the Italian children's clothing brand Prenatal Milano.
“Against the backdrop of a general increase in activity, it is important to note that many new retailers opened several stores in 2016, while in 2014-2015 most newcomers opened no more than one,” comments Maria Shpakova, senior retail space market analyst at JLL. “The leaders in the number of locations in Moscow among the debutants of 2016 were the Italian cosmetics brand KIKO Milano, which opened 14 stores, the Italian clothing brand Armani Exchange (eight stores) and the American accessories brand Claire’s (seven stores).”
Rental rates in shopping centers remained unchanged throughout the year: the maximum rate was 195 thousand rubles. per sq. m. per year, average – 74 thousand rubles. per sq. m. per year.
On this moment In the luxury urban housing market in Moscow, there are no more than 10 properties for sale worth 1 billion rubles or more.
Last week, the press published a rating of the most expensive apartments in Russia, compiled by one of the free advertisement portals designed for a mass audience. The most expensive apartment in the country was recognized as a penthouse in Moscow on Ostozhenka for 1.14 billion rubles. The editors of RBC Real Estate found out that this offer is far from the most expensive in the Russian capital...
At the moment, there are no more than ten objects for sale on the market worth 1 billion rubles or more. In general, a typical offer for 1 billion rubles or more is objects with an area of 1 thousand square meters. m with a cost per square meter from $30 thousand (900 thousand rubles). In principle, there are not many such objects on the market in Moscow - these can be either penthouses or mansions in the center.
The apartment with an area of 780 square meters mentioned in the review of the most expensive in Russia. m and cost 1.14 billion rubles ($38-40 million) is located in a club mansion at 2nd Obydensky Lane, 3 - on the fifth and sixth floors. This is a reconstructed house built in 1913 with a detailed restoration of the facade. However, this offer is far from the most expensive on the luxury housing market in Moscow.
“For example, at an equally high price - $40 million (1.2 billion rubles) - there is an offer to purchase a complex of buildings (mansion, garage, buildings) total area 2,158 sq. m in the area of Sivtsev Vrazhek Lane, says Oksana Diveeva, director of the city real estate sales department at Blackwood. - At a slightly higher price - $45 million (1.35 billion rubles) - a mansion on Ostozhenka as part of the Ostozhenka Park Palace residential complex with an area of 2,560 square meters is offered. m".
“The absolute maximum asking price on the market is now about $70 million (2.1 billion rubles) for a penthouse in a new club house on Prechistenka,” Denis Popov, managing partner of Contact Real Estate, raises the price bar. “Over $50 million (1.5 billion rubles ) can cost a block of apartments on a high floor in the Moscow Hotel, where they ask for a square meter from $70 thousand (2.1 million rubles) to $100 thousand (3.05 million rubles).”
“Hypothetically, for an amount of about $100 million (3 billion rubles), the unique penthouses of the co-owners of Capital Group in the Capital City residential complex could be put up for sale,” says a source from RBC Real Estate, a top manager of one of the capital’s real estate agencies involved in luxury housing. “But, as far as we know, they are not going to sell them yet.”
Similar offers include The Residence penthouse in the Dom on Mosfilmovskaya residential complex, which was sold last year for 1.4 billion rubles ($45.7 million). As already, this is the same penthouse that was erected by the former co-owners of Don-Stroy, bypassing permitting documentation, and which the city authorities planned to dismantle. As a result, the height of the building was agreed upon with the city. The advantages of the penthouse, in addition to the area of 2 thousand square meters. m, include a large indoor swimming pool on the roof of the high-rise building, a private high-speed elevator and its own entrance group. A personal concierge service has been created for the future penthouse resident.
Among other Moscow apartments, the offer price of which starts from 1 billion rubles, realtors name a two-level apartment in a club house for 6 families "Molochny, 7". This is a 16-room apartment with an area of 1 thousand square meters. m, its price is 1.2 billion rubles. The price also includes five underground parking spaces.
In Molochny Lane on Ostozhenka in the Dom Square residential complex the cost of a penthouse is about 1 billion rubles. The living area of the two-level apartment is “only” 290 sq. m. m, but the total area includes an exploitable roof of 150 “squares”.
The club house on Ostozhenka offers 2 penthouses: 282 sq. m and 324 sq. m. The cost of each is $60 thousand (1.8 million rubles) per square meter. “The developer was afraid to present them as a single object, since now it is difficult to sell objects of such value on the market,” says a source from RBC Real Estate. If you combine them and sell them at the above price, you will get (282 sq. m + 324 sq. m)*$60 thousand/1 sq. m. m = $36.3 million (1.09 billion rubles).
Objects of such value can take a very long time to find their owners, since the circle of people who could afford to invest such sums in real estate in Russia is extremely narrow... And, of course, the offer price and the sale price are two often very different figures, Realtors specify. “A couple of years ago, a five-story villa in an elite residential complex“Crystal House” on Korobeinikov Lane,” Denis Popov continues to tell. - Last year, there was a penthouse in the Granatny, 8 project worth over $40 million (1.2 billion rubles), but it was subsequently withdrawn from sale, perhaps because it was sold to one of “our own people.” Also last year, an 800-meter penthouse in the Imperial House residential complex was sold for about 1 billion rubles. Exclusive, extremely expensive properties are often sold through closed sales."
In the country
Yulia Sabolevskaya, director of the country real estate department at Blackwood, speaks about the high-budget offer on the suburban housing market:
“The segment of high-budget suburban housing (worth over 1 billion rubles) is represented by several dozen offers. Sales are usually conducted behind closed doors, since the owners prefer to remain anonymous. Sales and purchase transactions are carried out through several real estate agencies specializing in high-budget suburban real estate. In the primary market, the developer often does it himself conducts closed sales, arranging a kind of “face control” among those wishing to buy home ownership in a club cottage village.
As of the beginning of 2013, the absolute maximum price for properties on the primary suburban housing market was $30 million - this is a residence with an area of 4 thousand square meters. m on a plot of 130 acres in a gated community with a golf course on Novorizhskoye Highway.
On Rublevo-Uspenskoe Highway, the most expensive offer on the primary market was $12 million - a cottage with an area of 900 square meters. m and a house plot of 100 acres in the village "Zhukovka-XXI".
On the secondary market of country housing in the Barvikha sanatorium on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway, the cost of residences can reach up to $130 million (4 billion rubles). This kind of suburban housing is characterized by large areas (about 4 thousand square meters with plots of at least 120 acres). The houses are equipped various systems controls, with super expensive and exclusive finishes. They are located in strictly guarded cottage communities."
