In the primary market demand for the main sent to an apartment in the same price range, regardless of the area. (1-2 bedroom apartments in the area of ​​2.5 million rubles.)

Expert commentary Maxim Chernov, CEO Academy "Adveks-Moscow": - For the first time in a long time we have seen in the market of St. Petersburg real increase in prices. If we analyze the open transaction to date, we see a picture similar to 2000. According to the dynamics of open market transactions similar to the situation out of the crisis in '98. This does not mean that in the coming years we are waiting for the same prices as in the early - mid 00's, no, prices range somewhere near the ceiling has already been achieved. But today we see a clear change in trend at the secondary housing market. Prices will slowly catch up with missed over the years of crisis. Alexander Ginovker, CEO of the Academy "Nevsky space" - a major shift in market prices of real estate has not happened. No abrupt changes and, in my opinion, before the summer is not expected. Negligible increase in apartment prices in some areas of the city does not reflect market trends. In general, prices for primary market is lower than the secondary. This is because the risks of buying an apartment in the building site is higher than in the finished house. Also do not forget that you are paying money now, and live in the new house will be, at best, a year later. It should be borne in mind that today there is a delay time of delivery facilities. Attractive factor for customers in the primary market is the installment payment. Natalia Lavrov, executive director of the Academy "Darko": - The new year was marked by good news on the secondary real estate market in St. Petersburg: prices still do not grow, in spite of the large consumer demand, is also large enough supply in the primary market, the banks do not only continue to improve conditions in credit programs, but also reduce, if not refuse commissions on loans, which significantly improves the lives of the borrowers. Vera Yakovleva, head of residential real estate Academy "Zahn-world real estate": - The growth of prices (October-December) is hardly worth talking about, because a small price increase can be attributed to seasonal sales. Can be noted that before the new year were sold out all the cheap apartments and rooms (apartments worth 2500000-2700000, rooms - 900000-1100000), so the price of the objects on display in January, starting with the higher amounts. The number of items at prices 2500000-2700000 minimal. (But there is no argument for the view that the new prices will be attractive to buyers this year, the proposal still exceeds demand).
