Construction sites are there, there is no excitement: experts talked about the situation in the Kostroma housing market

Despite world events, the Kostroma real estate market is still in a state of stability. Although developers do not hide: Some materials have grown in priceAnd quite strong. But more affordable analogues have already been found, and This is unlikely to affect the cost and deadlines for the delivery of housing.

Details – in the material of the GRK Kostroma.

Working construction equipment. In the Volga region, in the Panovo microdistrict, the KFK company is building a new champion residential complex. Construction is moving actively. There are no problems with technology: there are many options on the market that have not fallen under sanctions. There are even more workers – they are now working here in one and a half shifts. The degree of readiness of houses is high. They will be handed over, according to the developer, earlier indicated. One of them is April 1.

In total, this year the company will build about 40 thousand square meters of housing in Kostroma. As much as in the past. They do not see the reasons to change plans here yet. Materials use mainly domestic. The price for them, of course, has changed. The most strongly, by 200% since the beginning of 2022, the gas stern has risen in price. But, firstly, his stock was made in advance. Secondly, just in case, an analogue was found-a ceramic brick.

Evgeny Yakiv, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the KFK Group Group of Companies: “Materials are finishing and for heating we use imported. But in this case, today we are completely moving to the Russian market – to everything. Due to the oscillations of the dollar, it will take time to replace the same accessories on plastic windows with Russian, but it is no worse. The holy place does not happen, we will replace everything. ”

The cost of new housing has increased since the beginning of the year, but not much. Within 4%, they say in KFK. There is no excitement demand. The same is now in the secondary market. According to the director of one of the real estate agencies, Repetition of the situation in 2014 – when people began to spin the savings, buying apartments without looking, is not observed. Agents give – as always – about 10 consultations daily. Discuss options. There were no less. In recent months, about 20% of the proposals have been removed from the implementation – a little more than usual.

Olga Matsapura, head of the real estate agency: “Not to say that an increase in prices began massively – this is not. Yes, some segments have become a little more expensive, but, oddly enough, some segments fell in price. For example, the rooms in price are reduced. Large industrial premises – there is still a decrease. Yesterday we had precedents – according to very expensive, elite buildings, for which prices were already high. ”

Rieltors and developers speak carefully about price prospects. Everything will depend on demand. While waiting for stabilization of the situation.And most importantly – support measures. In particular, a new preferential mortgage: now bets on it have grown, an average of one and a half times. The benefits would greatly support both the industry itself and buyers – so, according to KFK, 85% of customers used borrowed funds when purchasing housing.
