Capricious "Resale"

The cost of housing in Moscow at the moment starts from $ 100 thousand on this money really buy a standard one-room apartment of 32 m². m in "Khrushchev". Another approximately $ 10 tys.pribavlyayutsya to the total value of the object or subtracted from it depending on the area, the general state of the house and the floor. If we talk about the geography of this type of housing, may be noted that these apartments are located in quite remote from the center of Moscow areas, such as Novoperedelkino, Kuzminki Schelkovo or near the highway.

We note here that for relatively modest absolute value of the flat price of 1 square. m it is more than $ 3 thousand, which is quite a lot. For comparison: the "square" in the houses under construction on the same margin is $ 2-2,5 thousand other words, if the buyer has in stock a year or two, for which the house will be built and delivered the state commission, he can buy "dvushku" an area of about 60 sqm. m for $ 120-150 thousand

Client, have the means of $ 150 thousand, is able to buy a Moscow apartment in almost any part of the city. In areas close to the center, it will be "odnushka", and on the edge really find shelter and triple the area of 70-80 sq. Price of 1 sq. m.. m is roughly equal to $ 3,5-4 thousand

Typically, these apartments are located in old homes built 20 or even 30 years ago. This means that the buyer goes home with obsolete layout, often without the opportunity to remake all of my taste, the old communications and wiring, etc. If you are buying an apartment in an old house really see the flaws of the future housing even before the transaction, buying a new apartment have to rely on the reputation of the developer to wait for delivery of houses in operation.

The leadership that can

For economy class are more expensive and spacious apartments costing up to $ 300 thousand Theoretically, this amount was still fit and odnushki business class, but such proposals at the market low, and high demand, they do not enjoy. Some companies specifically adjust their projects to decrease the area of one-bedroom apartments to meet the demand.

A separate category are the so-called investment apartment: they are located in new buildings, but is already sold on the secondary market. Such proposals are not too many, and their price is high compared with the cost of apartments in buildings that are in the early stages of construction. Typically, the difference amounts to 10-20%, with investors trying to sell apartments before putting the house in operation and registration of property rights, not to lose on taxes and not to wait up to six months while numerous instances prepare all necessary documents. Thus, a formal deal is in the primary market.

Cheap new buildings are exotic

Objects of the primary market now occupy about 20% of the total proposals. The share of apartments of economy class among them declining. According to the Moscow government in 2007 planned to build 4.8 million sq. meters of housing, of which 2.2 million sq. m go for social programs, ie, not actually come to market. The lion's share of the remaining 2.6 million sq. m occupy the new buildings business class.

This happens because of the disadvantages of mass construction of low-cost houses. Despite the fact that potential buyers are much more profitable to the developer to build houses apartments business klassas absolute value of $ 500 thousand Thus, the model home panels appear only where, by definition, can not build a residential complex of business class, so e.okolo MKAD and beyond.

Where?

Note that in the past few years, developers have increased the average area of apartments. As a result, the primary real estate market, a shortfall of housing small size. Nevertheless, projects that take into account the interests of buyers with limited budgets, yet occur. So, according to company spokeswoman CITY - Twenty-first Century "by Sergei Liadov," project "Azure Blues" provides a lot of relatively small apartments. Most of them are one-bedroom (39 sq. M), two rooms have an area of 62 sq. M, Triples - 82 kv. m. Such flats suitable for those who do not need large areas, often offered in the segment of the business class, but prefers the optimal use of space. The apartments can use the various options and layouts at the same time sustain the price at an acceptable level " .

By the way, the cost of apartments in a newly built residential area of "Azure Blues," which the company is positioned as a business class is $ 158 - 185 thousand for "odnushki (price varies depending on the specific characteristics and the floor), $ 256-318 thousand -- for "dvushki" and $ 307-381 thousand - for "treSka. In this case the highest demand from buyers use it one-bedroom apartments.

Head of Sales Management new buildings of MIEL - Real Estate Sergei Tulyakov also notes that in the category of economy class first sold the cheapest offers an area of 36 square. m. As an example, he cites Novoperedelkino neighborhood, the houses built up a series of U-3M. Apartments here have improved layout with a comfortable kitchen and spacious hall.

Near Kuz'minki conducted a large-scale construction of the Volga district. Addition to the large selection of apartments area is attractive in that the adjacent areas is not dilapidated five-story building. The Volga is surrounded by residential areas with developed infrastructure. Nearby is the main attraction area - manor Kuzminki.

Is there reason for optimism?

Since late last year, market experts have officially recognized the fact that the number of transactions for the purchase of apartments falls. In this regard, the reorientation of the market has started from the seller to the buyer. This gives a chance to man in command of a sum of about $ 200 thousand, quietly identify their desires and abilities and to choose exactly what you want, rather than trying to catch up with the constantly rising prices.

The difficulty now expected to be mainly those buyers who are looking for proposals in the range of $ 100 thousand because of low absolute value of these objects do not stay on the market. They continue to enjoy steady demand - to assert that the situation has changed since last year, it is impossible.
