Analysts spoke about the reduction in the share of massive new buildings in Moscow

The share of new standard and comfort class buildings in the Moscow market has decreased to 32%, which is a historical minimum. On August 8, analysts at SIS Development told Izvestia about this.

According to experts, the share of mass-market new buildings in Moscow, including standard and comfort class, decreased from 42% in 2024 to 32% in July 2025. This is the lowest figure in the entire history of the market. As of July 2025, 47.1 thousand objects were on sale in "old" Moscow, of which 14.8 thousand are apartments and apartments of the mass segment.

Over the past year, the supply of housing in standard and comfort class new buildings has decreased by 27%, and the number of projects under implementation has decreased from 107 to 88. It is noteworthy that although the share of the mass segment has dropped significantly in comparison with other market segments, the absolute number of apartments for sale is not minimal. For example, in the first quarter of 2021, there were only 10.2 thousand standard and comfort class apartments for sale, which was also a record low.

Today, the Moscow market is mainly filled with new business-class buildings, which account for 50%. This is followed by the mass segment (32%), the premium segment occupies 14%, and high-budget facilities — 4%. The company's experts note that massive new buildings are being replaced not only by the business segment, but also by more expensive premium classes.

The decrease in the share of massive new buildings is due to both the rise in mortgage rates and the strategy of developers focused on more expensive segments. This circumstance also affected the structure of the offer: in 2025, the number of standard-class apartments decreased to less than 40 options, while in 2020 more than 300 such objects were presented on the market.

"Against this background, developers are adjusting their future plans for the implementation of large projects, hoping to enter more expensive segments. At the same time, the most pragmatic segment in terms of prices (mass) loses in terms of supply. Potential buyers of mass—market new buildings need to keep this in mind, since the construction cycle is quite long and the recovery of supply may not be quick," concluded Yaroslav Gutnov, founder of SIS Development.

On July 29, analysts at Metrium recorded a record decrease in the share of mortgage transactions in the primary market of "old" Moscow in the first half of 2025. This is the lowest result since the first half of 2019, when the indicator dropped to 47%. At the same time, the share of mortgage transactions in the premium class sank to a minimum in the history of the market - 16%.
