The megacities with the minimum price difference of one-room and two-room apartments are named

Moscow, Ufa and Nizhny Novgorod are among the three cities with the minimum difference between the average price per square meter in one-room and two-room apartments on the secondary market. Alexander Ivanov, a leading analyst at the federal company Floors, told Izvestia about this on September 29.

"The smaller the difference between the price per square meter in studios and studio apartments, the more difficult it is to improve living conditions after their sale, as this will require more additional funds," Ivanov explained.

According to him, in Russia as a whole, taking into account large, medium and small cities, the average cost per square meter in studios and one-room apartments is 17.9% more expensive than in two-room apartments, last year this difference was 16.4%.

Yekaterinburg is one of the leaders in the affordability of buying a two—room apartment after selling a studio or studio apartment on the secondary market among megacities, where the average price per square meter of small-sized housing is 13.7% higher than in two-room apartments. Rostov-on-Don is in second place with a difference of 11.9%, Volgograd and Chelyabinsk are in third (11.8% each), Voronezh is in fourth (10%), Samara is in fifth (9.7%).

Also in the top ten are Kazan (6.9%), Perm (8.1%), Krasnoyarsk (7%), Novosibirsk (6.8%) and Krasnodar (6.7%). The outsiders in terms of the availability of buying a two—room apartment on the secondary market after selling a studio or studio apartment are Moscow, where the difference is only 4%, Ufa (3.1%) and Nizhny Novgorod (2%).

"As long as market mortgage rates remain high, the trend towards reducing the difference in megacities will continue, and the situation in smaller cities will be more stable," the analyst concluded.
