Moscow’s Real Estate Boom: Unstoppable?
by Global Property Guide Staff

If you thought Moscow property prices couldn’t go any higher – well, they just did! Apartments in the centre of the city are being sold and rented at prices which would appear to defy all reason – except that Moscow is a city, now, of extraordinary wealth.

The average price of an apartment rose to US$16,363 per sq. m. in prime Moscow districts in Q3 2006, according to Knight Frank, Moscow. Re-sale apartment prices rose 62.8% in the three quarters to Q3 2006. Newly built apartment prices rose by 79% in the three quarters to Q3 2006. A small three-room apartment (60 sq. m.) in central Moscow is now worth US$1 million. First-class apartments can command twice that or more – US$30,000 per sq. m. and up is not unknown.

Property is not all that’s booming.

Investing On Apartment Property
 
I took a long view down one splendid apartment’s window and I saw nothing but big opportunities. Oh, also a lot of great investment ideas for real estate and some brown dog poop down the sidewalk. I’ve been debating whether this apartment is going to be a dinosaur of an investment for me, or whether I’m leading myself into a pit where there is no exit when I go bankrupt. Damn, this is one hell of a decisive moment. I’m a realtor with no exact game plan here – but my light bulb is on.

Purchasing Strategies

I could hear an aunt, who is a broker, telling me: “You should network with other brokers like me. We can give you the best ideas that would turn a creek into a condo.” Buying this apartment? Nah. Yes, okay, I’m thinking. I was supposed to consider my age, the risks that I’m willing to accept, the goals that I’m trying to accomplish, and my exit strategy in case my plans stink. Am I after the cash flow, security, or depreciation? Am I buying this apartment for long-term profits? Can I actually keep this apartment profitable without the tax hassles?

Property Analysis Tool

Another broker from Maryland advised me to be very, very sure of the apartment before I actually buy it. Numbers don’t cover the whole essence of the deal. He even asked me to input the data into a free property analysis tool, which calculates real estate cap rate, yield, gross rent margin, cash flow (before and after tax), and rate of return, among other things. I keep walking around asking, do I know the vacancy rates, the rent, expenses, and property appreciation rates? This would be a good time to mull over.
