"Poor" rich men, luxury housing going up again

Earlier this year, one-bedroom apartment in a brick house can be bought for 4.3 million rubles, and today the cost of "squares" in expensive new buildings in "good" areas has increased by 10-12% and continues to grow at a rate of up to 3 -3.5% a month. According to the analytical department EGSN, last year at an average purchase price increased by 16%, and this year it may take up to 25%. Over the past 10 years in Moscow, housing costs rose an average of 6.5 times, experts say Penny Lane Realty. "It's not a secret that the same Ruble or luxury apartments in the best areas to buy Moscow's high-ranking officials, regional directors and top managers of state companies and to a lesser extent - the representatives of business, - says head of the Moscow newspaper VIEW real estate company Kirill Averyanov. - It is difficult to give an exact figure, but I think that the category of officials to whom we relate, and the heads of various state monopolies, have up to 80-90% of the capital acquired in the super-expensive housing. " This confirms, in particular, statements and Russian ministers. Thus, the greatest number of square feet of property declared that Sergei Lavrov - 1050. Next in the ranking of households in square meters followed by Igor Sechin - 611 "square", Shoigu - 477, Igor Fursenko - 444, Victor Zubkov - 417 Yuri Trutnev - 248, Igor Shuvalov - 230 square meters. It makes no sense to count the cost of these apartments - the officials accountable for their profits, not costs. "The fact that Moscow is in terms of prices for luxury properties not only caught up, but even overtaken America and Europe, can not but arouse admiration. However, the standard of living "as in Manhattan" on a scale comparable to Manhattan, even the center of our city, alas, far away. In the absence of the historical integrity of the concept of development throughout the Moscow club houses, even the most expensive, and will remain islands in the middle of the bustling and chaotic life of the capital, "- says the company Villagio Estate. Today in the capital market are more than 20 proposals with an average price per square meter over 40 thousand dollars and about 100 - the price of more than 30 thousand dollars for a "square". Moreover, in 2010 the average cost of one hundred meters in the most expensive apartments in the capital rose by 12.6%, and is currently 36.95 thousand dollars. Of course, the decision to abandon Moscow mayor's office building housing the historic center and the regions within the third ring will lead to further price increases for existing facilities. "Increase in house prices will be the natural reaction of the market - said on RB managing partner at Blackwood Kovalev. - If in 2011 we are expecting rising prices in the luxury housing segment is 10-15%, in the light of this decision should expect at least 20-25%. " At Knight Frank predict a more serious growth - by 30-40%, and both the primary and secondary markets. Head of Research Center Corporation, "Inkom" Dmitry Taganov believes that the additional price increase would be speculative. Although, with this assertion difficult to accept - if the house will be bought by increasing the price, it makes no sense to talk about the purpose of purchase. Now the average cost per square meter of economy-class within the TTC is 180 thousand rubles, and business class - 285 thousand, an elite - 645 thousand, the director of department of sales of real estate Penny Lane Realty Alexander Zima. According to Knight Frank, variation in housing prices deluxe-class ranges from 12.4 to 32.2 thousand dollars for a "square". Rise in the cost of purchase and sale transactions and is accompanied by at least bystrum appreciation rent in this market segment.

"Unfortunately, the pricing mechanism in the metropolitan elite meters rather spontaneous, somewhere, even seasonal, but not the seasons and the fashion in certain areas and even specific home - says VIEW-Property Director of the Moscow real estate company Alex Cookbook. - When in Europe, every town has some kind of standard yield per square meter, which depends on the specific parameters of the housing, then we have that is still far away and always wins the center. Despite his workload, those who have the opportunity to purchase luxury meters, work immediately, but first get to the center, in the evening to lose another 2 hours before the house - it is still too much. It is best not to leave the center.
