Astana. February 16. Caspaga - by 12.5% rose from September 2020 to January 2021, secondary housing in Kazakhstan, said Serik Zhumagarin, chairman of the Agency for the Protection and Development of Competition (AZRK).
"In the period from September 2020 to January 2021, the rise in prices in the primary housing market amounted to 5%, whereas for the same period 2019 and 2020 he did not exceed 3%. However, even greater increase in prices for the same period is observed in the secondary housing market - 12.5%. At the same time, a significant number of participants in the secondary housing market (more than 130 thousand ads for the sale of apartments), eliminating the likelihood of any price conspiracy, suggests that the main reason for the increase in housing prices is a sharp increase in demand, "said Zhumagarin, responding At the request of Majilis deputies.
He explained that the total amount of pension savings available for removal in order to improve housing conditions will be about T1.4 trillion, "at the same time, T386.4 billion has already been listed from the Pension Fund."
"Meanwhile, according to statistics, the volume of construction works for 2019 amounted to T4.4 trillion, of which the volume of housing construction amounted to T881 billion. Meanwhile, due to the overestimated requirements for participants in the share of housing, the main volume of housing is exercised outside the current requirements. The Law "On Share Participation in Housing Works". Thus, according to JSC "Housing Guarantee Construction Fund" in the republic, only 20 developers (Nur-Sultan - Six, Almaty - Eight, Shymkent - one, Karaganda - one, Aktau - one, Atyrau - two, Aktobe - one) have guarantees on Construction of a limited number of objects in the amount of T262 billion or less than 1/3 of the total, "said the head of AZRK.
According to the developers themselves, as noted by the Chairman of the Agency, "the specified housing volume is practically implemented."
"The rest of the housing is implemented outside the established rules - through the contracts, investment, reservation and other contracts. As a result, a significant part of the primary housing is not available for the recipients of pension savings, since their targeted use is confirmed exclusively by the contracts of the equity construction of housing concluded in accordance with the legislation. Given this, for the development of competition in the construction market in the framework of the National Project, the issue of reducing the requirements for participants in the share construction of housing, as a key barrier to the commodity market, "added the head of AZRK.
As for the introduction of limit prices per square meter of housing, then, according to him, the list of goods, works and services to which prices are established is determined by the entrepreneurial code.
"However, it is necessary to take into account that the introduction of price regulation significantly reduces the investment attractiveness and prospects for the development of the commodity market," says Zhumagarin.
Recall, on February 3, Mazhilismen offered to establish maximum prices for housing in mortgage state programs. The deputies also drew attention to the fact that "the volume of imports of building materials is not reduced, and domestic production does not develop." According to parliamentarians, with the growth of state mortgage, housing prices are growing.
