In Moscow, the offer of new buildings is reduced at the stages of the pit
The exposition of new buildings at the pits of the pit in Moscow decreased by 7.4% year by the year. The negative trend has been observed for the first time since 2022 and is ensured by a sharp reduction in the activity of developers to withdraw new projects of the mass segment. The rejection of new buildings helps developers hold prices for new buildings even in the context of a sharp decrease in demand.
In May 2025, the volume of proposal in the new buildings of Moscow at the stage of the pit decreased by 7.4% year by the year, to 8.2 thousand lots, the study of Metrium said.

In the Civil Code, a decrease was noticed by 4.5%, to 8.3 thousand lots, in the « Best-Novostro »-by 2%, up to 9.8 thousand.
The general reduction in the offer of new buildings on the pit is mainly due to the mass segment.
Here, the number of available lots decreased by 29.7%, to 2.4 thousand, noted in the Metrium. In the business class, the reduction amounted to 14.6%, up to 3.7 thousand premium housing at the initial stage of sale became more than 39.1%, up to 1.5 thousand, in the elite segment of lots of lots on the pit became almost half as much.
Vasily Bulgakov, CEO of the RKS Development Group of Masters, connects the formed trend in the mass housing market with a decrease in the number of launches of new projects in Moscow. According to the calculations of the analysts « Dom.rf », in January – April of 2025, 1.2 million square meters entered the market. m, the value decreased by 36% year by the year. So the developers reacted to a decrease in sales, which forced them to accumulate unrealized volumes. According to Dataflat.ru, in April 2025, the volume of the primary proposal was 515.5 thousand square meters. m, declining by 14% year by the year.
The slowdown in the output of new objects allows us to prevent overstowns and maintaining the market balance, explains Ekaterina Petrova, director of analytics and marketing concepts of Pioneer. Olesya Dziuba, head of the Analyst Analysting Division, notes that this tool helps developers regulate prices and maintain demand in current projects. Baza Development co -founder Mark Zavodovsky believes that developers are now being implemented only by those projects that are easier to launch than to suspend. The starts of sales of potentially attractive objects, developers, according to him, are put off for the future, until the revival of demand and the ability to get maximum profit.
The mass segment and business class are more sensitive to the rise in the cost of project financing and tightening the conditions for mortgage programs, says Ruslan Syrtsov, managing director of Metrium.
In the market of high -budget housing, he said, the situation is different: the demand is ensured by customers who expect to invest their own funds in reliable assets. Thanks to this, developers of such projects are less likely to postpone project launches. The level of income of the target audience of the premium segment made it possible to reorient from the mortgage by installments: since the beginning of last year, their share in the structure of sales has increased four times, to 40%, the Optima Development CEO David David David.
The new buildings of the mass segment at the stage of the foundation of the foundation pit, according to Mr. Zavodovsky, are usually in demand among private investors focusing on the minimum starting value. According to Core.xp, in May 2025, the average price of supply on the primary market of the old Moscow increased by 26% year by the year, to 706.2 thousand rubles. per 1 sq. m. Projects at the pit of the foundation of the pit rose by only 4.6%for the same period, to 365.9 thousand rubles. Igor Sibrenkov, commercial director of the Basic Group of Companies, notes that it is at the initial stages that the most affordable lots are usually washed out. Subsequently, this also affects the overall picture of the cost.
