Market leader

Cancellations and corrections

The highest demand was recorded in the economy class (+221 sales). In terms of layout, five-room apartments and larger are selling the fastest (62%), while two-room apartments make up the largest portion of the remaining stock—3,144.

Risks and what to check

Buyers should check completion dates: by the end of the year, the planned completion date arrives for 17 projects with 4,369 apartments, 1,584 of which are still unsold. Keep in mind that the developer may extend these deadlines. The protection schemes break down as follows: 63% of projects are built with second-tier bank (BVU) participation, 30% with a KHC guarantee and 7% under an akimat permit (MIO).

Takeaway for buyers and investors

Investors and buyers are advised to look at projects with high sell-through, such as KAUSAR RIVERSIDE (98%) or Arman Qala.Lite - 2 (94%), where the choice of layouts is limited. For those who value a wide range of units with bank support, the Grand Park Vita - 2 or Capital City residential complexes 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.
