Recent data shows a clear uptick in demand across several Moscow property segments. A leading platform reports a 65% rise in interest for studios in the city during the year, underscoring growing appeal for compact urban living options and investment potential in central districts.
Interest in three room and multi room apartments also climbed in February, with increases of 34.7% and 32.8% respectively. This momentum highlights stronger buyer activity for larger homes amid shifting preferences and price dynamics in the Moscow market.
In February, supply within the Moscow secondary housing market rose by 3.3% from January, indicating a modest expansion as sellers respond to robust demand and evolving price signals. The improving balance between supply and demand is shaping inventory levels and options for buyers and investors alike.
Earlier reports from January 2023 noted a notable interest in luxury properties in Moscow, with activity rising by 5.5% from December 2022 levels. The rebound marked the first uptick in premium interest since August 2022 and suggested renewed confidence in high end segments, though demand in January 2023 remained well below the pace seen in January 2022 by 64.6%.
Industry sources, including Yuri Zavidov of Zavidov Realty, point to favorable pricing dynamics in the premium segment. Buyers reaching deal terms in this tier can sometimes secure discounts up to 30% off the original asking price, reflecting negotiated outcomes in a market balancing prestige with value considerations.
In the latter half of February, activity in elite suburban villages along the Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway in the Moscow Region slowed, according to Sergei Kolosnitsyn, head of the residential real estate department at Penny Lane Realty. Only 74 houses were sold in that period, signaling a pause in brisk demand for high end suburban estates and a shift in buyer focus toward curated, amenity-rich communities.
