The first decided to move into the region of Muscovites, who had hoped to collect more money for housing economy class. As hopes for affordable housing in the capital have not been fulfilled, they unwillingly had to move to satellite towns. 'In Moscow, the greatest demand the cheapest housing prices in the first half of 2006 grew primarily at the home, located in sleeping areas, regions outside Moscow, on the panel housing and one-bedroom apartment - explains Simon Puzrin, manager of the Finance UK `CONCORDIA -- Asset Management `. - When affordable and sentence in the Moscow market subsided, demand for the Muscovites in the Moscow housing has increased significantly, because to get from the nearest urban region (within 5 km from Moscow) about the same number of sleeping areas in Moscow, and the cost per square meter in these cities and a half to two times lower than in the capital `.

In addition, according to Elena Komova, Director of Marketing Domostroy ``, in the Moscow region and the choice of more and higher quality housing. `In the past two years, a large percentage of economy-class housing built in the Moscow region, which has already been overtaken by volume Moscow imposed housing - she said. - The greatest demand is rapidly developing cities near Moscow - Khimki, Balashikha, Krasnogorsk, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Korolev Nakhabino, as well as closely located and actively built up settlements - Mosrentgen (Leninsky region), and Marfino Trekhgorka in Odintsovo district `.

Apartments near Moscow and invite Muscovites and visitors from the regions. According to observations Elvira Yeryomina, CEO `City-XXI century ', the main buyers - Muscovites. `Grown up children, preferring to live independently, but having no means for an apartment in Moscow, becoming a small, but their own residence in Moscow, - she said. - Extended version, when people came to the capital from another region and settled here, are transported closer to his parents and get their apartment near Moscow. Favorable environment, a suitable transport links with the capital, lower prices for goods and services attract outside Moscow satellite towns all new homebuyers. And some buyers segment of economy class housing preference panel, despite the fact that consumer characteristics of monolithic buildings much better. The fact that the model homes are built faster, and for some clients, this factor plays a crucial role `.

Panel goes into the forest

Meanwhile, according to Elena Komova, in cities near Moscow suburbs there is a tendency of displacement of panel building monolithic. `Here, developers have been moving away from the point of building and erecting the whole residential neighborhoods. And the quality of construction works in no way inferior to Moscow, and sometimes even surpasses it '- she says.

Among these neighborhoods Vladislav Lutskov, deputy director, director of integrated research and market forecasting Analytical Consulting Center 'Miel Real Estate', highlights a few, in his view, the most interesting. `Construction of new housing in the village turn Trekhgorka in Odintsovo district, which could be related to outside Moscow business class. Due to policy of local administration, infrastructure development and construct large amounts of housing in Balashikha (mkr-n. 27a and others). Erected 4-6-storied neighborhood `Amber` fairy tale in the village Buzlanovo under Krasnogorsky. Is promising village district in Odintsovo district. Large volumes of economy-class housing (series P44 and monolithic frame houses) are built to the east of the capital in the village Kotelniki `, - he enumerates. And the vice-president of group of companies `Conti` Vyacheslav Timerbulatov allocated among large-scale development projects, the new neighborhood - Redridge in Krasnogorsk, Solntsegrad in Balashikha and Novokurkino in Khimki.

Growing effective demand for quality accommodation in Moscow suburbs will inevitably lead to an increase in supply of such housing. Cheap panel is nothing left, leaving the satellite towns. `In the next few years the objects of economy class will go to the cities of the second and third zones suburbs. And within 5 km from Moscow Ring Road will be erected in the main residential complex of business class - predicts Helen Komova. - And in a given geographical area by early 2007 the price per square meter will be little different from the cost of housing sleeping areas of Moscow, located near the Moscow Ring Road `.

Buy more now

While apartment near Moscow you can buy for $ 2000 per square. m, and average price per square meter in the Moscow region is $ 1350. But the rate of growth in prices for housing near Moscow has overtaken Moscow. Fastest, according to observations Elvira Yeryomina, more expensive housing in the satellite town - is seen Lyubertsy, Reutov, Khimki, Mytishchi.

`Active trend in prices is observed both in primary and secondary market - she says. - In January we sold an apartment in new buildings monolithic 5-th district Vidnoe costs on average $ 1200 per square meter, then in August, the cost rose to $ 1800-1900 per sq `.

Experts predict the market for a new year, the average cost of housing in the Moscow region will pick up to a mark of $ 2000 per sq.m. - Apartments in the cities the average distance from Moscow will cost as much as housing now stands at 5 km from Moscow.

`The growth of prices of real estate near Moscow in 2005, far behind the Moscow real estate (16 and 30% respectively). Since March, the rate of growth in real estate prices in Moscow have begun to outstrip growth in Moscow, and rising real estate prices nearest Moscow suburbs reached 20% per month in some cities - says Simon Puzrin. - For the first half of 2006 prices for residential real estate in Moscow amounted to an average of 50%, while in Moscow an increase in prices reached 60%. Average cost per square meter near Moscow (up to 5 km from Moscow) over $ 2000, while in Moscow the average distance (5-25 km from Moscow), the average cost per square meter was about $ 1350. In general, Podmoskov'yu average cost has reached $ 1500 per square meter. Podmoskovnie price growth rates higher than in Moscow, at the moment and the potential near Moscow market higher. Consequently, we can assume that before the new year, real estate prices in Moscow grow by 5-7% per month and the new year, the average cost per square meter in the Moscow region will reach $ 1800-1900 `.

Merchants are catching up

In most cases, buyers of apartments in the area can not yet rely on the capital's comfort. `Today, not every city's suburb boasts a decent shopping mall or supermarket, and sports and leisure infrastructure are either absent altogether or are redesigned building Soviet-era ', - says Irina Mosheva, director of marketing for cottage village` Княжье lake `.

However, the situation will change very soon - high rates of housing construction and population growth have already drawn in the Moscow region investors and developers working in commercial real estate. `For the developers are now very attractive all projects associated with the construction of infrastructure - says the vice-president of group of companies` Conti `Vyacheslav Timerbulatov. - Today, the construction of a popular ski resorts, golf courses, safari parks, etc. However, social infrastructure are less attractive compared to the entertainment area `.

Of course, local residents is more important than supermarkets, dry cleaners and hairdressers, but also with no problems. `Russia has already established various networks with enough branches in Moscow and other large cities, the format of which is fully prepared for replication in smaller cities, - says Irina Mosheva. - And just Moscow is a very convenient platform for their development `.

But to find a suitable job near home immigrants would be difficult. According to Vyacheslav Timerbulatov, in connection with the high cost of land outside Moscow big, large-scale enterprises, usually plohookupaemy. Therefore, the development of construction projects for the industrial complex to talk, but fall short. In the best case it will be small businesses.
