Any person needs to live somewhere, so the demand for housing will never disappear. But the cost of one square meter of housing in Russian cities is very different, and in the event of a move, you can always find more favorable conditions.
Residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the largest cities in Russia, often do not realize that just three to four hundred kilometers away, the cost of housing begins to decrease significantly, trying to catch up with the financial capabilities of their buyers. And the further you look for housing from the capitals, the cheaper the purchase will be.
The cheapest housing in major cities of Russia
Stavropol and Novokuznetsk are fighting for the first place in the list of large cities in Russia (more than half a million inhabitants) with the cheapest housing in 2014. One square meter of living space in the secondary market will cost the buyer 37-40 thousand rubles, however, there are also more expensive offers - in the field of elite real estate and new buildings of increased comfort, but even for them the cost does not exceed the limit of 45-50 thousand rubles. The bulk of the housing stock in these cities is old houses, including Khrushchevs, and the demand for new housing exceeds supply, since not enough new houses are being built.
