Analysts estimate that about 40% of buyers who purchase an apartment in Moscow, in theory, not against them to give up on country houses, but while they await the development of transport infrastructure. Most difficult to cross are the southern and south-easterly direction, and unpopular with developers, as well as Rublevo-Uspenskoe and Leningrad highway. The most developed and remain free Novorizhskoe highway and the new route "Moscow-Don.

However, despite the heavy traffic situation, conditions for intensive development of suburban real estate are created. "At the suburban housing market has been a steady increase in prices, but the city becomes more expensive more quickly - Yelena Sergeyev, head of the country real estate company" Russian House Property ". - The cost of housing in Moscow was comparable to the price of country cottage, and in such circumstances, many will prefer the stuffy apartment in Moscow own home in the bosom of nature. " "Due to the unprecedented increase in prices of city real estate buyers are seriously considering the prospect - to buy a country house for a permanent residence within the 30-km distance from Moscow on the most liquid western and northwestern areas, as an alternative to the Moscow apartment, - agrees to Director of Development Company RODEX GROUP Valery Mishchenko.
Scarce Economy Class

According to the Managing Director of Blackwood Marina Markarova, all in the first quarter of 2006 was running about eight new projects, each of which relates to business class. "The share of cottage settlements the midrange up to the quarter increased by 3% to 69% of the total number of proposals", - she said.

Generally, all the suburban cottage settlements made to share in the luxury, business and economy class. Moreover, most active developers is observed in the upper segments of the market, which leads to an overabundance of such settlements. "The segment of elite cottages saturated: the proposal is much more than people with a sufficient budget to purchase a country house more 700 thousand dollars. Business class is also close to saturation, - says Oleg Marinin, the project manager "Vitro Village. - Therefore, companies operating in the town market, are forced to reorient themselves to the construction of cheaper cottages economy class.

Currently, the market of cottage settlements is in search of the optimal path of development in the long term. "Lack of quality supply in economy class associated with unpopularity in the developer environment, the less cost-effective, the budget projects", - explains the general director of Vesco Realty Sergey Leontiev. While they are implemented only in remote areas, where not enticed wealthy buyers. "An Active construction of cottages at a distance of more than 30 km from Moscow. Most of the cottages is an economy class "- confirms the development director of ITF Development Alexey Samsonov.
Time Buyer

Changes that have taken place recently in the suburban real estate market, related to, first of all, demand. The buyer has now become much more demanding. Previously, he paid just for the prestige and the possibility to dwell outside the city, but today are increasingly interested in the quality of his proposed house, the village concept, ease of access, reliability of the developer, the legal purity of the transaction, etc. Unfortunately, as admitted several players in the market, much put into operation towns completely not related to the class of developers, because they did not meet even the basic requirements for cottage construction. Everything is standard: in the wake of rapid demand and supply gap in the market in large numbers appeared downright trash, which, in spite of everything, sour cream "to cheers. As a result, developers are relaxed and began to make bold, believing that "and so will come down." And "so go" ceased abruptly. Customers, seeing that the supply in the market is enough to understand: for the same money you can buy a house in a much better settlements. So today the market appeared clear unmarketable - failed projects. As a rule, municipalities, built nonprofessional developers. Nevertheless, market participants are recognized happen "lyapy" and a well-known developers, but they are more rare.

Another observation is divided Elena Sergeeva ( "Russian House Property"): "A key requirement is the cleanliness of documentation in the village. Customer need transparency scheme housing, and it must be assured the right to their property. This basically deals with the rights to the land. If the allotment received by bypassing the law or the construction has been agreed with all agencies (especially with Rosprirodnadzor), then buy a house in the village will not.
Be that as it may, the suburban real estate market is time buyer. Therefore becoming more expensive and only successful, the right projects.

- Despite the continuing trend of rising prices for suburban real estate market is a clear distinction between successful and unsuccessful projects. If prices rise on the first may be 40-50% per year, then by the second increment is minimal and sometimes non-existent, - says Oleg Marinin ( "Vitro Village"). - Previously, the main (and almost the only) customer requirement was the presence of a good settlement. There is growing interest in the project from the conceptual idea. Also, consumers have become more aware of the project sponsors, architects and careful, professional approach to the selection of homes, have become interested in investment attractiveness of objects, even in cases when they buy them for personal use.

To meet these demands, developers have a more deliberate selection of sites for the construction and focus on the implementation of major projects, said Sergei Leontiev (Vesco Realty).

- The market town real estate has become more organized, more professional and competitive - sums up the director of marketing for the settlement of Knyazhy Lake Irina Moksheva.
New infrastructure

Despite the claims of many developers and realtors, the role of infrastructure (more precisely, what they understand by this) is gradually reduced. At the dawn of becoming a buyers' market required a fitness center, solarium, saunas, swimming pools and other specialties. Now requests for infrastructure have changed: customers are more important than schools, kindergartens, shopping centers nearby, as well as development of road network. A statement of realtors and developers of high domestic demand for "ostentatious" infrastructure more like a bad hypnosis: simply they built villages with developed infrastructure, the money invested in them, and now they want to "discourage", selling such items as much. But buyers do not want to overpay. Significantly, the developers are erecting new settlements, taking into account the changed realities of the market. Professionals-all perfectly understood:

- Defined a set of infrastructure in the cottage settlement still must be, - said Head of suburban real estate ZAO MIAN-real estate agency "Svetlana Kondachkova. - These objects allow for normal life of every family. Most important, of course, is a service-administrative services and protection. Also needed a point of sale and point of care.
Another way

Gradually changing and buying preferences for directions. Today, even secured a buyer does not necessarily require settlement on Rublevke or New Riga (although the popularity of the latter is still great). "You offer me Rublevka? Cool. Do you have what I need? No? Then I choose a different direction "- something like this dialogue takes place the buyer and seller.

Behind this trend is being closely followed and building owners, trying to keep up with the priorities (and even ahead of!) Buyers for directions. However, sometimes the opposite situation: on the road is built a few towns, after which representatives of developers are beginning to actively PR in the media and at conferences it is this trend, warning him "great future". Also learn the less-developed highway developers are forced to acute shortage and high price of land in the promoted areas.

- Today, increased business activity developers of Kaluga and the Kiev highway. Also energetically mastered Dmitrovskoe direction. On ruble-Uspensky, on the contrary, there is slowdown in new construction. This is due to the gradual depletion of suitable land for construction of cottage settlements, - said Marina Markarova (Blackwood). DMITROVKA due to large-scale projects being implemented there is likely to bypass Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway volume of applications this year ", - predicts Sergey Leontiev (Vesco Realty). Also, developers are actively exploring areas far from Moscow. But the demand for them has not yet formed.
Selective growth

For popular destinations and well-planned townships prices will continue to steadily go up. And the unpopular and unsuccessful projects, on the contrary, is projected to decline or at least maintain the current level.

- In my opinion, will increase prices on Novorizhskoye, Kaluga, Rublevo-Uspensky, Kiev, Dmitrov highway, as well as the southern areas: Simferopol, Kashir. Expected growth in coastal areas of known reservoirs. Lowest price adjustment on objects suburban real estate will happen in the south-easterly direction - sure, Svetlana Kondachkova ( "MIAN-Real Estate Agency").

The average increase in prices may vary from 10 to 40% per year. "In 2005 (as in 2004) the rate of price growth in the Moscow cottages were about 20-30%, and experts predict that in 2006 this figure will be at the same level or surpass it" - sums up Oleg Marinin ( "Vitro Village").

In general, suburban real estate market is steadily growing. Well, is not it time to leave Moscow entrepreneurs and stuffy apartment and look for a cottage in Moscow?
