The company "Foody" spoke about the increase in prices in Perm (+3%, 70.1 thousand rubles per square meter) and St. Petersburg (+1.63%, 151.5 thousand rubles per square meter).

As for Moscow, in the capital, the average cost of secondary housing in March, according to cyan, reached 257.4 thousand rubles per square meter ( +0.8% per month and +16% per year). According to the chief analyst of the Miel company Ekaterina Grarezhnova, the highest average market prices are preserved in the Central Administrative District, where the apartments have risen in price to 495.1 thousand rubles per square meter (+2%) in a month. The cheaper housing is the cheapest in SEAO (213.1 thousand rubles per square meter (+2%).

"Sellers focus on the prices of the exhibited objects and overstate their own, so the values ​​are growing more by inertia than for objective reasons," Berezhnova believes.

The head of the Analytical Center Cyan Alexei Popov indicated a slowdown in price growth. So, in February, secondary real estate in Russia went up by an average of 1.7%, and in January - by 1.6%. The reason for this slowdown Popov called a decrease in demand. For example, in Moscow in January-February, only 2% more contracts were registered than a year earlier, while the fall was a third more transactions. At the same time, analysts do not record a decrease in the volume of supply: in Moscow and St. Petersburg, 7% more apartments are now put up for sale than a month ago.

Ruslan Zakiryanov also believes the head of the secondary real estate and long -term rental of Avito Real Estate, also believes that in the near future the increase in prices in the secondary housing market will slow down, but, in his opinion, it is now difficult to unambiguously predict the influence of real estate market measures taken by the government.
