Analyzing the Market Not by Rumors, but by Numbers
Data from Kaliningradstat for Q1 2026:

🏢 New builds — 151.4 thousand RUB/m²
🏠 Secondary market — 150.3 thousand RUB/m²

The gap between them is now minimal — about 1,000 RUB per m².
Year-over-year growth:
📈 new builds — up ~11.9%
📈 secondary housing — up ~5.9%

But the key trend isn’t just price growth. The market has become smarter.

The secondary market has gone through a revaluation phase: good properties hold their value, while flats without clear advantages are being forced to adjust their prices downward.
Today, buyers look beyond just square meters. What matters now:
✔️ location;
✔️ building quality;
✔️ surrounding infrastructure;
✔️ floor plan;
✔️ future liquidity.

Interesting fact: in the premium-quality segment, secondary housing is now competing head-to-head with new builds:
🏠 secondary market — ~166.5 thousand RUB/m²
🏢 new builds — ~161.6 thousand RUB/m²

Why? Because people are willing to pay for ready-made value: a great neighborhood, renovation, a view, and the ability to move in or rent out immediately.

What does this mean?

☝️ For sellers: the strategy of "price it high and wait" no longer works. The price must reflect market reality.

☝️ For buyers: now is a good time to choose, but it’s important to buy not just any flat, but an asset that will hold its value over time.

The main takeaway for 2026:

Not all real estate is growing.
What’s growing is the value of the right properties.

That’s why, before buying or selling, it’s essential to ask yourself one question:
"Will this flat still be in demand 5 years from now?"
