They also noted that the shrinking sales offer is conducive to price increases.

“Today, in the seven largest markets, developers have about 40,000 apartments available for sale (…). At the current level of sales, this number should be slightly more than half” – they wrote.

Due to the demand for flats, the offer available on the secondary market has also decreased in recent months. “So far we are not dealing with any revolutionary changes, but from early spring, when there were about 150,000 used apartments for sale, to the beginning of July, this number has fallen by almost 10,000 units, and such a change can no longer be underestimated” – they assessed. .
