    The portal Cottage.ru understood what was happening with the dachas in the Moscow region and how to buy a property in the winter.

    There is nothing to choose

    Over the past year in the segment of cottages and suburban real estate market of Moscow region as a whole, there was no significant change. According to the estimates of Penny Lane Realty in the capital region, there are 5.5 thousand similar objects, with only 20% of them can be called a liquid.

    Another 40% are in good condition and at a reasonable price can find a buyer. The remaining 40% require either repairs, or a significant reduction in prices, the company said.

    Market players said that in the segment of cottages no of quality supply in the primary market. New projects unit, developers are reluctant to start, so the buyer is forced to seek range of the secondary market, where, as already mentioned, many old and obsolete buildings, and overpriced houses.

    Director of residential real estate Department at Penny Lane Realty Sergey Kolosnitsyn said that if we talk about the premium and elite suburban real estate, the cottage is not quite the right word. The expert noted that most wealthy people acquire such objects for permanent residence.

    However, even if they are bought as holiday homes, the quality characteristics of these structures will not differ from any other cottage or a mansion.

    However, in this market there are objects that consumers traditionally choose cottages. First of all, the resorts near Moscow (Dmitrovskoe shosse): the project “Pestovo”, “monakovo”, “Cape Verde”, “Pirogovo”, the “Golden city”, “Cote d’azur”. They are distinguished by the presence of the pier it created the conditions for lovers of water sports, Golf.

    Such estate and close to the Istra reservoir. Some buyers prefer to use as summer residences houses in the villages of Villagio Estate. And of course, luxury and premium rental also give. “Especially in recent years, we feel a surge of demand for the rental market in the holiday season that is associated with the reluctance of our citizens to spend the summer abroad,” says the Kolosnitsyn.

    A price ceiling

    Winter interest in buying cottages in the Moscow region is traditionally very low in the month is sold on the strength of 40-50 lots. In winter and early spring is a seasonal increase in demand for land. This is due to the construction cycle, said managing partner “MIEL-Country real estate” Vladimir Yakhontov. The land is traditionally sold in the winter to the spring to do the project and begin construction, and at the end of the year to get the house ready.

    The market of country real estate the Moscow region is shrinking. Olga Solodovnikova, head of Department of secondary habitation of Agency of real estate “big realty”, described the situation with the demand, “three to one”: the three sentences is one of the interested parties, and not the fact that it will be the buyer.

    “Almost stopped the sale of dachas without facilities, summer houses with plots. This is due to the changing priorities of buyers. If earlier one of the main functional tasks for houses and summer cottages has been growing its fruits and vegetables and had enough plot to have a small house, today it is still more a break from the bustling metropolis, ecology, clean air,” says she.

    Therefore, remain in demand at home more comfortable fit for year-round use, it’s more like a second home for families with pre-school children.

    According to the head of the analytical center “Inkom-real Estate” Dmitry Taganova, cottages, mainly acquire people who want to have a country house in the first place, for a summer vacation or gardening — but the cottage has no money. This is usually a family with children or people close to retirement age.

    The main buyers of luxury homes are government officials, business owners, top management executives. “Among them there is expatriates (however, occasionally we notice the demand from Chinese nationals, and sometimes he even ends with deals). There are buyers from the regions, but in total volume it is a small percentage”, it knows Sergey Kolosnitsyn.

    As the price of suburban real estate, they continue to decline at an average rate of 10%. Now the house in the HOA on the distance of 40 km from the town with a plot of 15 acres can be purchased for 1.8−3 million rubles. The price for the plot might be altogether 1.5 million rubles. While in winter you can get discounts on suburban housing to 25%.

    Nevertheless, experts insist that the price of most villas is unreasonably high. And that’s one of the reasons why in this segment of the reduced dynamics of sales, confident in Penny Lane Realty. On the one hand, the buyer not to choose, not a professional seller, who would understand that in the current circumstances it is very important to keep the customer in his project, he picked up a lucrative offer.

    Buying cottages in winter: pros and cons

    Sale winter garden has its own nuances. On the one hand, snow and frost — not the best conditions for the transactions. At this time it is difficult to assess the topography of the site due to snow cover, to understand what will be the surrounding landscape, also not all repairs can be carried out at sub-zero temperatures.

    However, if the plot is absolutely standard, buying a home in winter — correct decision, insists Vladimir Yakhontov.

    Among other things, defects like leaks at the joints or nodes of the construction of the roof is also easier to spot in the warm season, and the dampness in the basement in winter is not as obvious as in the spring.

    On the other hand, the purchase of cottages in winter, in the opinion of experts, has its advantages: it becomes clear whether the object has problems with the drainage of the soil, the quality of the roof and walls, clean if snow from driveways and so forth. Finally, in connection with the low season you can get a good discount.

    According to the Director of the Department of suburban real estate at Blackwood Yulia Belousovoj, this period is most attractive for those who are looking for year round residence.

    Hope for the best no

    In 2018 the real estate market in Moscow and the Moscow region should not expect significant changes. Until the economic situation in the country as a whole, demand and prices will slowly “slide” down, and offered for quick sale items will be balanced is removed from sale houses.

    Yulia Belorukova believes that prices this year will fall by another 5%. Positive trends that point to some positive momentum in the market.

    The only exception is the old cottages. Introducing a niche product, they are less subjected to crisis, and, unlike the objects of the chaotic building, which will be cheaper, a country house in “starodachne places” will be able to keep the price range that has developed in the last three years, an optimistic Vladimir Yakhontov.
