Experts reported a 3.7-fold increase in housing prices in 10 districts of Moscow.

Investing in housing should be considered over the horizon of several years. This opinion was expressed by analysts MR. Analytics and NDV Real Estate Supermarket in an interview with Izvestia on January 28, having studied the dynamics of offers and prices for new buildings in "old" Moscow over the past five years. According to the results of the study, 10 districts were named where residential real estate increased in price by 2-3.7 times.

"In absolute terms, the weighted average cost per square meter of business-class housing (apartments and apartments) in the capital increased by 96.3% and amounted to 568.5 thousand rubles. The rating of the most investment-attractive areas of "old" Moscow includes Rostokino, Presnensky, Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo and Marina Grove," the analysts said.

The Rostokino district has become the most profitable for buyers, where the price tag for housing has increased 3.7 times since 2020: from 202 thousand rubles per square meter to almost 750 thousand. In Presnenskoye, real estate initially cost more — 257 thousand rubles, but here it has more than tripled and exceeded 820 thousand per square meter. Khoroshevo-Mnevniki closes the top three with a 2.7-fold increase in value.

The Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo district is quite a bit inferior to the leaders of the rating, where housing investors have increased their investments 2.6 times in five years: from 222 thousand to almost 570 thousand per square meter. Obruchevsky district closes the top ten most investment-attractive locations, where the price tag for residential real estate has doubled and reached 603 thousand rubles per square meter.

"We have recorded not only price, but also qualitative changes. Over the past five years, the share of business class offers has increased by 21%. More than half of all the lots on the housing market of "old" Moscow are business class, which "grew up" in a variety of locations, where they could not have imagined before. For the first time in five years, business-class residential complexes have been built in 20 districts of the capital," said Elena Chegodaeva, head of the Analytics and consulting Department at NDV Real Estate Supermarket.

According to the expert, over the past five years, the size of the exposition of apartments and apartments has increased 2.2 times — from 10 thousand to 21.8 thousand units. In some areas — Presnensky and Maryina Grove — the number of projects has increased four to five times in five years. In Pokrovsky-Streshnevo, the type of housing has been qualitatively updated: along with apartments, residential complexes with apartments have appeared. In 2020, two apartment projects were underway, and four business-class apartment projects are currently under construction.

"We see the potential of the Pokrovsky-Streshnevo district in a combination of location, natural environmental friendliness and infrastructural facilities of the location. Each of the projects occupies dozens of hectares of land. Due to the size, architectural uniqueness of the buildings, and the appearance of a new embankment, they will undoubtedly become new growth points not only for Pokrovsky-Streshnevo, but also for the whole of "old" Moscow.

According to experts, buying a business class home in the "old" Moscow market is the most profitable investment compared to other housing classes. This format is the most in demand among consumers, accounting for up to 45% of sales in the entire market. Over the year, the weighted average price per square meter in business class increased by 16.7%, which is higher than in comfort and premium classes.

"This year, we expect the growth trend in demand and prices in this segment to continue to 18-20%," summarizes Chegodaeva.

Analysts at STONE reported on January 15 that demand for small business class apartments increased 1.8 times. According to the preliminary results of the year, the business class segment showed the strongest growth in interest in small-sized apartments (up to 40 square meters). Since the end of summer, the dynamics of transactions has significantly outpaced last year's figures. If demand was unstable in the first half of 2025, then in August the increase compared to August 2024 was 76%.
