How do the high prices of apartments in Russia reconcile with the reduced sales and increased risk of developer bankruptcies?

The current situation is characterized by a decline in new housing sales (38.7% fewer lots and 37.2% fewer square meters sold compared to the previous year), yet prices remain high due to factors such as accumulated developer reserves, increased construction costs, reduced housing supply, and profit-seeking behavior. This counterintuitive price stability is a result of market forces.

How can investors mitigate risks associated with construction delays and market oversaturation?

Strategic investment requires careful analysis of location, developer reliability (checking the Unified Register of Problem Objects), and market saturation. High-demand areas near new infrastructure or attracting specific industries (like IT in Innopolis) show higher returns, while oversupplied areas or those linked to declining industries (like oil and gas in Tyumen) may yield lower returns or losses. Rental income should be calculated net of taxes, expenses, and vacancy periods.

What factors caused the 20 percent increase in new home sales in St. Petersburg in February 2025, despite prior market decline?

This surge follows a 45 percent decrease in the previous year, attributed to the cancellation of a subsidized mortgage program and a rise in interest rates.

How do developers compensate for reduced demand caused by the end of the preferential mortgage program?

The reduced supply of business-class new buildings is driven by fewer projects (38 in 2025 vs 55 in 2024) and a 27.5% decrease in planned building completions. Family mortgages and installment plans are now key demand drivers, particularly for ready-to-move-in units, which comprise only 13.5% of the market. This shortage is expected to worsen.
