    Analyst Opinion

    The Residential Real Estate market in Central Asia has been experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

    Customer preferences:
    One of the main customer preferences in the Central Asian residential real estate market is the demand for modern and well-designed properties. Customers are increasingly looking for homes that offer a comfortable and convenient lifestyle, with amenities such as fitness centers, swimming pools, and green spaces. Additionally, there is a growing demand for properties that are located in prime locations, close to schools, hospitals, and shopping centers.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Central Asian residential real estate market is the increasing popularity of high-rise apartment buildings. These buildings offer a range of benefits, including a smaller footprint, lower maintenance costs, and access to shared amenities. Furthermore, high-rise buildings allow for higher population density, which is particularly important in urban areas where land is scarce. Another trend in the market is the rise of sustainable and eco-friendly housing options. Customers are becoming more conscious of their environmental impact and are seeking properties that incorporate energy-efficient features, such as solar panels and smart home technology. Developers are responding to this trend by incorporating sustainable design principles into their projects.

    Local special circumstances:
    One of the local special circumstances in the Central Asian residential real estate market is the presence of a growing middle class. As the economies in the region continue to grow, more people are entering the middle class and have the financial means to invest in real estate. This has led to an increase in demand for residential properties, particularly in urban areas. Another special circumstance is the influence of cultural norms and traditions on the housing market. In some Central Asian countries, there is a strong preference for multi-generational living, where extended families live together in the same household. This has led to a demand for larger homes with multiple bedrooms and living spaces.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth and development of the Central Asian residential real estate market can be attributed to several underlying macroeconomic factors. One of the main factors is the overall economic growth in the region. As economies expand and incomes rise, more people have the financial means to invest in real estate. Furthermore, favorable government policies and regulations have also played a role in the market's development. Governments in the region have implemented measures to attract foreign investment and stimulate the real estate sector. These policies include tax incentives, streamlined approval processes, and the creation of special economic zones. In conclusion, the Residential Real Estate market in Central Asia is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences for modern and well-designed properties, the trend towards high-rise apartment buildings and sustainable housing options, local special circumstances such as a growing middle class and cultural norms, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and favorable government policies.

    Global housing market - statistics & facts

    The global housing market landscape has undergone dramatic challenges in recent years, including declining transactions, slowing price growth, and worsening affordability. In most OECD countries, the gap between household incomes and property values has widened notably over the last decade, while soaring mortgage rates have curbed mortgage borrowing. Established housing markets such as Hong Kong, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom saw house prices decline in the first quarter of 2024. On the other hand, Turkey, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates recorded double-digit growth.

    Residential real estate in India - statistics and facts

    Generally considered the third key pillar of the food, clothing, and shelter trinity popularized in India over generations, owning a home is still prioritized as a measure of financial security by a vast majority of the Indian population. The COVID-19 pandemic with its successive lockdowns and restrictions to stay within the confines of one’s home, further reinforced this vision. India’s growing urban population, rising household incomes, and decade-long low-interest rates have been propelling the demand for residential units, driving up the sales volume. Even though the residential real estate sector was severely hit in 2020, it marked a strong recovery in consecutive years, crossing pre-COVID sales figures.
