Now we expect to stabilize prices

About what's happening in real estate, whether or not to wait for a collapse in housing prices in Russia portal Bank.ru told the head of the Centre "Real Estate Market Indicators www.irn.ru" Oleg Repchenko. What can you recommend to people who have investment apartments, that is housing, which they lease or purchase for resale? It all depends on what kind of investment, this apartment, for what you are buying it. If this long-term investment and it is assumed that you'll lease it to 10 years, no sense to twitch, to sell it I do not see. If we are talking about a quick profit at the expense of market growth, the unfinished apartment of the former construction sites, it is advisable to try to sell it. After all, for it must pay the same communal, and to lease it will be problematic. There is a risk that house prices will fall even lower. This is, firstly, in - Second, even if the economy will rise, the real estate market will be affected not at once. He is a very inert, unfolds slowly, gradually. I think that most investors still remain in profit, if sold today. You can put money on deposit at a good rate, it will protect you even with inflation. Of course, it is hardly necessary to sell the apartment at all times. You can not hurry to find a buyer who will offer more or less a decent price. What is now waiting on the Russian real estate market? Now we expect to stabilize prices. Collapse will not happen. Supply and demand are balanced. Yes, prices are high, but the offer is limited. Stagnation in the market still remains. Transactions is small. In your opinion, it is more profitable now, get a mortgage, or simply rent an apartment? I would not take a mortgage. And it's not that property prices can fall. The main risk factor - reducing income instability. Renting an apartment, you can move, take the cheaper option. And when the mortgage will have to pay a fixed amount. How much is the rent is now an elite and a simple shelter? What determines the amount of payment? 18-20 thousand rubles for odnushku a month - is at least in Moscow. If we talk about the expensive housing, then there is no limit. But, in general, a standard apartment business - class - it 70-100-150 thousand. It makes sense to turn in search of buying or renting housing to middlemen, it's additional costs? Independently carry out such transactions difficult. And if you do not have time, without any intermediaries you can not do. How to choose a mediator for various real estate transactions and do not get caught on the hook for the fraudsters? Here are the two most common options: first - search for mediators through friends, colleagues, friends, etc. And the other way, contact one of the most prominent companies. There are 10-20 companies that have long been working in the market about 10 years. They have proven themselves. But among them and to choose from. That is, the company has long been in the market, to be known.
