According to various estimates, the average increase in prices for primary housing market was 25 - 30% in foreign currency, said deputy general director for marketing "of the Moscow City Property Services (MGSN) Sergey Vakhrameev. At the same time, incomes are not increased in similar proportions. "Talk about the glut in the market until you have, but the ratio of effective demand and supply have changed significantly in the direction of increasing the latter," - says Vakhrameev. Analysts of the Moscow real estate investment agency "(IIAS) is also confident that demand growth is not keeping pace with rising prices and volumes of construction. "But the lower prices while not necessary to speak, - said deputy director of the agency Oleg Repchenko. - The reason for this is not.

At the same time the chairman of the board of directors of the company "MIEL" Grigory Kulikov not agree with the fact that effective demand in the primary market is declining. He said that in the second half of January, his company was implementing a weekly new buildings 40% more than the average for the week of December. And in general, he expects that the January sales will exceed the level of November.

Other factors.

Most Realtors are not so optimistic. For example, according to Director of Marketing Corporation of Inkom-real estate "Sergey Eliseev, and if prices will rise, on purely inflationary reasons - because of the increased cost of works, building materials, energy. Eliseev not exclude that the prices of expensive housing may even decrease - if it will build more than last year.

Stabilization of prices and volumes of demand may spur mortgage program "Delta Credit Bank (organized by the investment fund" U.S. - Russia "), which ran on a completely unexpected obstacle. Last year, the Bank of the Delta Credit Bank began working with new buildings, and although the bank's chief executive Nick Shitov told Vedomosti that the demand for this service "very high", real estate brokers interviewed say that not a single credit transaction purchase new buildings they have not concluded . Themselves as customers have complained that, even getting approval for a loan, they can not find a decent apartment in new homes. The reason is that Delta gives credit no earlier than 12 months before putting the house of the state commission (to reduce the risks). But this time all the good apartments in the house already are sold out.

Districts and prices.

Starting with today's issue of "Vedomosti", from the traditional tables in real prices of sale (rather than price offers) vanishes string "Zhulebino. In this region there are practically no houses, which can be attributed to mass building. The next candidate on the fly - Brateevo, where the proposal is presented home DSK-1 Series P-44T, but there are still awaited construction of several objects. But the first time the rights of full members appeared string "Kurkino" - which seems to be the last prestigious area of mass construction. Now he's sold on the market, not only the agency's Cathedral SM and acceded to the newly MIAN and the City - XXI century ", but also the Department's single point of sales of investment construction programs (ECNC Dipsy). This year it is planned to build a 250 000 sq. meters of housing, of which over ECNC be put up for sale to end users for about 20 000 square meters. Cost of 1 sq. m.. m, sold through the center will range from $ 590 to $ 735 depending on the number of rooms in the apartment, number of storeys of the building and its readiness.

Buildings Mariynskoe park is also nearing completion. Now there is elevated 12-th neighborhood, but he is unlikely to increase the general level of prices - about $ 550 per 1 sq. km. m because of the proximity to Kapotnya, where the Moscow Refinery. Important for the market areas are North and South Butovo, whose appeal grows with the development of transport infrastructure. The state commission has already completed work on the acceptance into service station subway station "Ulitsa Akademika Yangelya" to "Annino. The second part - to the station "Dmitriy Donskoy Boulevard" - scheduled to be operational in the IV quarter of 2002

In the central part of the city in 2002, intends to dictate the game and the price Dipsy. According to head its marketing department Yevgeny Leonov, the department expects to almost completely occupy price niche in the $ 1200 - 1500 for 1 square. m, which he believes targeted at the "upper middle class." Among the areas where we will erect houses the department, he called Khitrovo (m. "China Town"), clean ponds, as well as some exclusive sites in the old Arbat - in Plotnikov Lane. and in the lane. Sivtsev Vrazhek. But there will be built elite houses, said Leonov. According to him, prices of some apartments they could will exceed $ 5000 for 1 square. m.
