Moscow housing: more supply, uneven demand

The third quarter of 2026 brought a larger new-home offer within Moscow’s established city boundaries.

Where the increase came from

Supply rose by 211,000 sq m. Almost half of the additional volume came from a larger offer within Moskovskiye Kvartaly projects sold under purchase agreements; other additions mainly reflected new projects and buildings entering sales.

Development activity recovers

Sales began in five business-class and four premium projects. Additional buildings also entered the comfort- and business-class markets after a weaker second quarter.

Demand remains uneven

Quarterly absorption improved, but remained around one third below the equivalent period a year earlier. July sales reached 188,000 sq m before falling to 146,000 sq m in August, the weakest month of 2026 at that point. September’s recovery did not produce a substantial quarterly increase.
