Analysts have analyzed the increase in prices for apartments in new buildings in Moscow over the year

Two-bedroom apartments in high-budget new buildings in Moscow have become leaders in price growth over the past year (an increase of 28%), Metrium analysts who conducted a study of the real estate market told Izvestia.

According to him, in the mass segment of the capital's new buildings, the cost of one-room apartments has increased most noticeably. Over the year, their average purchase budget increased by 25%, from 13 million to 16.3 million rubles. The studios showed almost comparable dynamics and increased the price by 24% — from 9.1 million to 11.2 million. The average price of two—room apartments increased by 20%, from 18.2 million to 21.7 million rubles. The least pronounced growth was shown by three—bedroom apartments, the cost of which increased by 18% - from 23.4 million to 27.5 million rubles.

In new business-class buildings, studios showed the greatest price dynamics, with the average purchase budget increasing by 19% from 13.5 million to 16.1 million rubles. One—room apartments showed an increase of 10% - from 21.1 million to 23.2 million rubles. Two—room apartments have become more expensive by 7% - their price has risen from 31.2 million to 33.5 million rubles. The minimum price changes were recorded in the segment of three—bedroom apartments, which rose in price by only 4% - from 45,2 million to 46,9 million rubles.

In the premium segment of the new—build market, one-room apartments have increased most noticeably in price, which have risen in price by 19% - from 34 million to 40.4 million rubles. The cost of studios increased by 17% — 28 million rubles against 24 million a year earlier. Three—bedroom apartments increased in price by 15% - from 81.2 million to 93.2 million rubles. The average budget for buying two—bedroom apartments increased by 14%, from 51,1 million to 58,5 million rubles.

"The rise in prices for one-bedroom apartments in the premium class reflects an important market trend — the expansion of the social profile of the buyer of such real estate. Previously, the clients in this segment were mainly married couples, but now we are seeing a growing demand from young and successful professionals who work hard, value their time and want to live in a quality environment with a high level of service. They choose compact but functional apartments in prestigious locations," Liliya Artsibasheva, Commercial Director of Regions Development, explained to Izvestia.

In the high-budget segment of new buildings, three-bedroom apartments showed the highest increase in average cost, and their annual dynamics (+28%) became a record among all housing formats. Among other things, this happened due to the structure of the offer, as the share of deluxe among the "three-pieces" increased. As a result, their average purchase budget increased from 280.3 million to 359.6 million rubles.

This is followed by two—room apartments, which increased in price by 23% - from 209.9 million to 257.2 million rubles. The cost of one—room lots increased by 22% - from 125.2 million to 152.1 million rubles. The situation is radically different with studios, the average cost of which decreased by 68% over the year — from 203.3 million to 65.2 million rubles.

"In the high-budget segment, the structure of demand is changing: more and more buyers are purchasing real estate for their own living, and not just as an investment instrument. Such clients are looking for a real "family nest", so their attention is focused on spacious lots, usually with three or more bedrooms. For them, the qualitative characteristics of the future home are of paramount importance: functional layouts, privacy, availability of their own infrastructure and security," says Ekaterina Borisova, Director of Development at Rariteco.
