In the Moscow premium real estate market over the past six months, the number of regional buyers has increased by an average of 20%. At the moment, the share of regional transactions in the total volume reaches 40%. This was reported to Izvestia by analysts from the RTI holding and the elite real estate agency Intermark Real Estate (formerly Savills).
At the same time, at the beginning of this year, 70% of regional requests came for the selection of real estate for their own residence, and today customers want to buy real estate in order to save money, experts noted.
“If a year ago a regional buyer normally needed a small personal headquarters in Moscow – this is prestigious and eliminates the need for overnight stays in hotels, or apartments for children closer to the university, today everything more potential customers are looking for options to save money. Therefore, in addition to ready-made new buildings, such buyers are also considering offers on the excavation,” said Kristina Tomilina, head of the urban real estate sales department at Intermark Real Estate (formerly Savills).
According to her, given that the growth in cost from the start of construction to commissioning for new buildings in the premium segment in Moscow is about 30%, and housing in this category is steadily rising in price, such a strategy seems to be advantageous. Especially if you choose the right object, she added.
“As for the geography of calls, if earlier Intermark Real Estate recorded calls mainly from central Russia, no further than Tyumen and Omsk, today the geography of calls has become wider – applications come from Yakutsk and Petropavlovsk,” adds Kristina Tomilina.
Observations are confirmed by developers. According to Andrey Nepomnyashchiy, sales director of the RSTI holding in Moscow, in one of the premium projects on the Zvenigorodskoye Highway, which was put into operation, the number of requests from buyers from Yekaterinburg, Magnitogorsk, Izhevsk, Kazan, St. Petersburg, and Yakutia has increased.
