Experts reported a decrease in the volume of offers on the primary housing market in Moscow

Analysts at Metrium have summed up the results of the first half of 2025 in Moscow's primary mass housing market. During this period, the volume of supply decreased by 28.7%, and the weighted average price per square meter reached 356 170 rubles, which is 9.9% higher than at the beginning of the year. Izvestia got acquainted with the results on July 9.

According to the study, 14.8 thousand lots in 88 projects remained on sale, with the number of apartments decreasing by 29.7% and apartments by 20.9% in the first half of the year. The largest drop in supply was recorded in Zelenograd (-51%), Southeastern (-41%) and Northwestern (-39%) districts. At the same time, prices continued to rise in all districts of the capital.

The market structure has also undergone changes. The share of new buildings at the initial stage of construction decreased to 16.6%, while the supply at the installation stage of floors increased to 51.4%. Among the types of housing, the demand for three-room (30.4%), multi-room (9.4%) apartments and studios (24%) has increased, while one-room apartments and apartments have become less affordable.

Another trend was a decrease in the share of objects with finishing (37.3%) and an increase in the supply without finishing (38.9%) or with white box preparation (23.9%).

The average price per square meter of apartments was 364,760 rubles (+10.7% in six months), and apartments — 282,910 rubles (+3.3%).

"The key factor in the upward price trend in the first half of the year was the reduction in new project launches. During the reporting period, only 14.8 thousand lots were represented in the mass segment market (-28.7% in the first half of the year). At the same time, the volume of demand decreased by only 9.6% in the first half of the year, which led to a change in the balance of supply and demand, which may affect the current upward trend in prices per square meter," summed up Ruslan Syrtsov, Managing Director of Metrium.
