Key takeaways

Demand concentration

Demand is widely distributed: the three best-selling residential complexes accounted for 40% of new sales, with 17 projects recording sales overall.

Market leader

BI Group accounts for 70% of new sales in Almaty's Alatau district: more than half of the demand is concentrated on a single developer.

Cancellations and corrections

For 2 projects, developers reduced the number of sold apartments by a total of 15. This is due to contract terminations or data corrections in the registry, which is why the net increase (+169) is lower than the gross increase (184).

Supply runway

Нераспроданных квартир по реестру — 10 488. При темпе этого месяца их хватит примерно на 62 месяца.

New supply

Completion date

До конца года плановый срок ввода наступает у 4 объектов на 1 184 квартиры; из них ещё не продано 820. Покупатель такой квартиры получает ключи быстрее, но сроки застройщик может продлить.

Salemdom AI commentary

Monthly Highlights

In August 2026, developers in Almaty's Alatau district marked 184 apartments as sold, but at 2 projects the number sold decreased by 15. The net increase was +169, which is +117% above the July figure (+78). The district accounted for 7.2% of the net increase in new-build sales across Kazakhstan.

Who was selling

Demand was broadly spread: sales were recorded at 17 projects, with the three best-selling residential complexes accounting for 40% of new deals. The market leader was BI Group, with 70% of the month's new sales. Among individual projects, the largest increase was at the Akkent residential complex by Ahsel (+30 apartments).

Supply: new objects and remaining stock

Supply grew by 1 new project, Arena City Life D, with 234 apartments. In total, 10,488 apartments remain on sale, which at the current pace will last about 62 months. Demand this month was highest in the economy (+88) and compact (+81) classes. The fastest-selling apartments were 1- and 2-bedroom units, with 36% sell-through.

Risks and what to check

Buyers should keep in mind that by the end of the year, the planned completion date arrives for 4 projects with 1,184 apartments, 820 of which are still unsold. It is important to check current dates, as the developer may extend them. The protection schemes break down as follows: 85% of projects are built with BVU participation, 10% with a KHC guarantee and 5% under an MIO permit.

Takeaway for buyers and investors

Investors and buyers should look at projects with high sell-through, such as Arena City Sport E (94%) or Arena City Balance - A (86%), where little stock remains. For those who want a wide choice of layouts under the BVU scheme, JIBEK JOLY - A, C or Arena City Balance D are suitable.

Methodology: monthly sales are the increase in the "sold" field in the register for projects that were in the register at the start of the month. Decreases (cancellations, corrections) are shown separately. If a developer temporarily reset the number sold to zero and restored it the following month, this counts neither as sales nor as cancellations. New projects are those that entered the register during the month; sales already recorded when they entered the register are not included in the month's sales. Sell-through and remaining stock are as of the end of the month.
