In 2027, the volume of new housing, according to different scenarios of the forecast, will be from 510 to 565 thousand square meters. In the next two years, a gradual recovery is expected: in 2028 and 2029, housing construction may increase by 1-3% annually.

A similar trend is predicted in the segment of individual housing construction. In 2026, it is planned to build 394 thousand square meters here - 65.9% of the previous year. For 2027, there are two options: 203 thousand or 245 thousand square meters. After that, a small increase in volumes is expected.
