The average price of newly built standard housing increased by 20% over 2004. Currently, the average price per square meter of newly constructed residential housing is a little over $1000. As with the secondary market, prices rose until the beginning of the summer. Prices held steady until the beginning of the fall and then began to rise again, however, at a slower pace.
Construction companies state that the increase in prices is due to increases in prices for building materials, increase in utility prices as well as increases in overall commissioning costs.
Large scale differentiation is occurring between the demand for and prices of newly built elite residential property vs. standard newly built housing. Analysts predict that growth in prices of the more elite housing will outpace that of standard housing. Analysts predict a price increase in the elite real estate sector of 10-15% this year.
