Analysts named the districts of Moscow with the fastest growing housing prices

Over the past year, the Southeastern Administrative District of Moscow has become the leader in price growth for massive new buildings. Over the past 12 months, the average cost per square meter here has increased by 25%. This was told to Izvestia by analysts from the companies Metrium and SIS Development, who conducted a study of the real estate market.

"Over the past 12 months, the average cost per square meter in new buildings in the mass segment of Moscow has increased significantly — by 17% from 330 thousand to 387 thousand rubles. The Southeastern district became the leader in price dynamics, where the cost of the square increased by 25% - from 319.2 thousand to 399 thousand rubles," the study says.

It also notes that a significant increase was recorded in the Northern Administrative District, where prices increased by 24% — from 311.6 thousand to 387.5 thousand rubles.

In the Northeastern District, the average cost per square meter increased by 22% (to 392.9 thousand rubles), while in the Western District the increase was 21% (to 457.8 thousand rubles). Prices increased by 18% in the Zelenograd district, by 12% in the South-Western District, and by 10% in the North-Western District.

The least pronounced rise in prices was noted in the Southern and Eastern districts, where the cost per square meter increased by 7% and 6%, respectively.

"The significant price increase in the Southern Administrative District is natural and reflects the drastic changes that are taking place in the district," Yaroslav Gutnov, founder of SIS Development, explained to Izvestia.

"First of all, the transport infrastructure has become the driver of development: the launch of the Nekrasovskaya metro line, the opening of several stations on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line and the integration of the Moscow High-Speed Diameter have significantly increased accessibility in many areas. In addition, the Southern Administrative District is one of the leaders in the renovation program, under which over 800 old houses will be resettled, and modern residential areas will appear in their place. All these factors are changing the face of the district," the expert notes.

It is reported that the price increase has affected the average cost of apartments in the Southeastern district. Over the year, the average cost of a studio (24.3 sq. m.) increased from 9.3 million to 12.7 million rubles. One-room apartments (39.5 sq. m. m) increased in price from 12.8 million to 17.5 million rubles. The cost of a two-room apartment (59.6 sq. m. m) increased from 17.2 million to 22.3 million rubles. The average cost of three—room apartments (80.1 sq. m.) increased from 23.8 million to 28 million rubles, and multi-room apartments (111.4 sq. m.) - from 38.6 million to 40 million rubles.

At the same time, consumer activity in the market of massive new buildings in Moscow is unevenly distributed. The largest share of transactions is in the Eastern District, which accounts for 19% of all registered transactions. This is followed by the Southeastern District with an indicator of 17%. Noticeable demand was also recorded in the Southern (16%) and Western (13%) administrative districts. The Northern and Northeastern Districts accounted for 12% and 11% of demand, respectively. The minimum share of transactions was recorded in the North-Western — 5%, Zelenograd — 4% and South-Western — 3% districts.

"The increase in the average cost per square meter in the Southern Administrative District is largely due to a change in the supply structure," says Ruslan Syrtsov, Managing Director of Metrium.

He also claims that the share of projects at a high stage of construction readiness is increasing in the district, where prices are traditionally higher than at the initial stages of implementation.

"At the same time, we are witnessing a reduction in the total supply: few new projects are entering the market, and liquid lots in complexes already under construction are actively being bought up. This imbalance between growing demand against the background of a qualitative improvement in the district and limited choice inevitably pushes up price indicators," concluded Syrtsov.

What should a real estate developer do in 2026 when the deadline for housing is postponed

Earlier, on December 10, GMK founder, REPA co-founder Sergey Razuvaev said that developers will start building smaller apartments in 2026. He explained that this situation is developing due to the rising cost of housing and falling demand. According to him, this forces developers to reduce the comfort of housing.
