Key takeaways

Demand concentration

Demand is concentrated: the three best-selling residential complexes — Zhanuya, Capital City and Otbasy — generated 62% of all new sales. The other 9 projects with sales shared the smaller part.

Market leader

OKSD accounts for 39% of new sales in Shymkent's Karatau district.

Cancellations and corrections

For one property, developers decreased the number of apartments sold by a total of 1. This is due to contract terminations or corrections in the registry, which is why the net increase (+163) is lower than the gross increase (164).

Supply runway

Нераспроданных квартир по реестру — 8 151. При темпе этого месяца их хватит примерно на 50 месяцев.

Share of national sales

Shymkent's Karatau district accounted for 7% of the net growth in new home sales across Kazakhstan.

Completion date

До конца года плановый срок ввода наступает у 10 объектов на 2 116 квартир; из них ещё не продано 1 132. Покупатель такой квартиры получает ключи быстрее, но сроки застройщик может продлить.

Protection schemes

In Shymkent's Karatau district, 56% of projects are being built with second-tier bank participation (BVU), 35% with a KHC guarantee, and 9% under a local executive body permit (MIO).

Monthly Highlights

In July 2026, developers in Karatau district of Shymkent marked 164 apartments as sold. The net increase was +163, as the number of sold units at 1 project fell by 1 due to contract cancellations or data corrections. The district's register lists 68 projects from 12 developers, with 3,690 apartments sold (31%).

Who was selling

Demand was concentrated in three residential complexes — Zhanuya, Capital City and Otbasy — which accounted for 62% of all new sales. The market leader was developer OKSD, with 39% of the district's new sales. Zhanuya stands out among the most popular projects with +65 apartments over the month.

Supply: new objects and remaining stock

No new projects appeared in the register this month. 8,151 apartments remain on sale, enough for about 50 months at the current pace. The highest demand was in the economy class (+111 sales), while +37 were sold in the comfort class and +15 in business. By room count, 4-bedroom apartments sell fastest (49%).

Risks and what to check

Buyers should note that by the end of the year the planned completion date arrives for 10 projects with 2,116 apartments, of which 1,132 are still unsold. The developer may extend completion dates. Protection schemes are split as follows: 56% of projects are built with BVU participation, 35% with a KHC guarantee and 9% under an MIO permit.

Takeaway for buyers and investors

Investors and buyers should look at projects with high sell-through, such as Arman Qala.Lite - 2 (94%), where few apartments remain. For those seeking a combination of protection and choice of layouts, residential complexes under the BVU scheme with 50+ apartments left are a good fit, for example SMART or Capital City.

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.
