Chelyabinsk region was among the regions with a noticeable increase in sales of finished housing. At the same time, the square meter here remains one of the most affordable among the territories leading in the number of transactions.

In September, the average offer price in the secondary market of the Southern Urals was 94 thousand rubles per square meter. Over the year, the figure increased by 7%.

For comparison: in the neighboring Perm region, a square meter was estimated at an average of 98 thousand rubles. These are the two lowest rates among the 15 regions with the most deals.

Interest of buyers in ready-made apartments in the Chelyabinsk region in September increased by 7% compared to last year. However, relative to August, it decreased by 6%.

Most often, residents of the region looked at two-bedroom apartments. They accounted for 37% of the interest of real estate users. One-bedroom apartments received 31%, three-bedroom apartments - 21%. Studios gained 8%, and housing with four or more rooms – only 3%.

Sales are also increasing in other regions. Most of the contracts for nine months were registered in the Moscow region – 81.2 thousand. Next are Moscow with 68.6 thousand and St. Petersburg with 51.6 thousand transactions.

In terms of growth rates among the largest markets, the Moscow region leads: plus 39% for the year. In the Leningrad region, the number of transactions increased by 38%, in Novosibirsk — by 32%.
