Moscow districts are named as leaders in the price gap for secondary and new buildings

The list is headed by Tverskoy district, where the average cost is 1 sq. m. m in new buildings exceeds the secondary market by more than 1 million rubles

According to the preliminary results of March 2024, the Tverskoy district became the capital location, where the average cost of housing in the primary market most strongly exceeds the indicators of the secondary market, according to the request of the editorial board of Domklik analytics. The data is given according to the figures of the offer on the platform and includes all price segments; sorting is given by the sum of the difference in the average price of 1 sq. m.

The average cost of a “square” of primary housing in the Tverskoy district, as shown by Domklik statistics, is 1.867 million rubles, secondary — 663.43 thousand rubles. The difference in price, therefore, is 1,193 million rubles, or about 179.8%.

Khamovniki district is in second place with a difference of 721.83 thousand rubles (64.4%), Yakimanka is in third place with 613.92 thousand rubles (84.3%). The top five also included Tagansky (520.7 thousand, or 127.7%) and Academic (306 thousand rubles, or 86.1%) districts of the capital.

Domklick draws attention to the fact that in the Tverskoy district and Khamovniki, which lead the rating, significant shares of the secondary supply are represented by houses built before 1959. In the Tverskoy district, this is 43.3% of the secondary fund, in Khamovniki — 27.14%. At the same time, the primary market of the Tverskoy district is almost completely represented by houses that have already been commissioned. In Khamovniki, the exposition consists of recently withdrawn projects.

Analysts of the real estate company Inkom-Real Estate confirm that the areas with the maximum price gap include areas of the center of Moscow. The company attributes this, among other things, to the different rates of price growth for primary and secondary products. So, in the Yakimanka district, according to their statistics, new buildings have increased in price by 68% over the year, secondary apartments — by 2%. Similar figures for Dorogomilovo are 29% and 4%, Khamovnikov — 28% and 4%, respectively.

Miel notes that on average in Moscow in the mass segment, primary housing is 20% more expensive than secondary housing. “In almost all areas, prices in the primary market are higher than in the secondary market. But there are exceptions. For example, there are few new residential complexes being built in the Beskudnikovo area, moreover, with a completion date in 2027. There, the secondary turned out to be more expensive than new buildings,” says Ekaterina Berezhnova, chief analyst at Miel. As a reverse example, the expert cites Kuntsevo, where the difference reaches 50% in favor of new buildings.

“New construction in the area is represented by high-class facilities. The secondary market is significantly inferior in terms of quality and level of housing,” explains Berezhnova. — At the same time, it is necessary to delve into the specifics of each specific area. For example, if we consider the Yuzhnoye Butovo district, then there are a lot of comfort-class housing being built there with close deadlines for commissioning, there are already ones that have been introduced. There are few secondary homes, so the difference in the cost of primary and secondary housing is small. The situation is approximately the same in the Severnoye Medvedkovo area. Tsaritsino also has a sufficient amount of interesting primary objects.”

The Central Bank has repeatedly expressed concern about the price gap between the primary and secondary markets. Recently, the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, once again confirmed that in Russia this gap is now about 44% at a rate of 10%.
