Salemdom AI commentary

Monthly Highlights

OKSD and Stroy Opt were also among the leaders.

Supply: new objects and remaining stock

The economy class was in highest demand (+198 sales), while comfort sold +36 and business +5. Among the available options, 2-bedroom apartments are the most numerous, at 3,144 units.

Risks and what to check

Buyers should note that by the end of the year, the planned completion date falls due for 15 projects with 3,839 apartments, 1,447 of which are still unsold. It is important to check current dates, as the developer may extend them. Protection schemes are split as follows: 63% of projects are built with BVU participation, 30% with a KHC guarantee, and 7% under an MIO permit.

Takeaway for buyers and investors

Investors and buyers should look at projects with high sell-through, such as Arman Qala. Family - 1 (93%) or Urban Hills - 2 (91%), where the choice is limited. For those who want a wide choice of layouts with bank oversight, Grand Park Vita - 2 or SMART are a good fit.

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.
