The volume of supply in the elite Moscow market has decreased almost sevenfold in a year

The number of lots on the market in high-budget projects in the capital, including the deluxe class, decreased by 6.7 times compared to 2024. This was reported to Izvestia on February 21 by analysts of the KOLDI company.

"The pace of entry of elite projects into the Moscow market cannot be called high — last year, sales were opened in only four new complexes, where just over 200 lots are planned. For comparison, in 2024, nine projects for 1,340 lots were launched, which is 6.7 times more than last year's figure. At the same time, demand in 2025 significantly exceeded the volume of new supply, which may lead to a shortage of liquid lots in the luxury real estate segment," said Elena Torlopova, head of the company's external analytics department.

The total purchase budget exceeded 93 billion rubles. A reduction in the volume of new supply amid high demand is one of the factors that influenced the rise in price of high—budget real estate. In comparison with January of last year, the average price of 1 sq.m. Revenue in this segment increased by 12.6%, to 2.6 million rubles. The average price tag for the year increased by 20%, to 313.2 million rubles.
