Analysts named the top-3 most popular urban districts among buyers of housing in the primary market in the Moscow region.

The second place in the rating is occupied by Krasnogorsk, where 5529 apartments and apartments have been sold since the beginning of the year (14.9% of the total sales volume in this segment).

"New buildings under CDA are realized in 36 districts of the Moscow region. At the same time the demand is distributed very unevenly. Almost half of all transactions fall on three directions - Leninsky district, Krasnogorsk and Mytishchi. At the same time in Mytishchi there are most budget options in attractive locations - near railway stations and surrounded by forests", - said Grigory Vaulin, Managing Partner of GC "Ferro-Stroy".

In turn, Ruslan Syrtsov, Managing Director of Metrium, added that the primary market of Moscow region is going through hard times. According to him, in January-October 2024, the minimum demand for the past 10 years was recorded.

"Especially seriously, consumer activity has decreased since July - more than twice relative to the same period in 2023. This is due to the winding down of preferential mortgages, on which the region was heavily dependent. Now sales support, in fact, only family loans. Therefore, the maximum demand today are two- and three-bedroom apartments in projects with developed social infrastructure", - said the expert.

Earlier, November 2, it was reported that when buying housing Russians are primarily focused on its location and only then on the available budget. This is stated in the results of the VTB survey. Every third Russian considers the most comfortable "young" secondary housing - real estate, which is 3-10 years old. About 30% more comfortable called a country house. The comfort of new buildings - up to three years from the date of delivery of the house - was noted by 23% of respondents. And only 15% prefer secondary housing, which is more than 10 years old.
