Despite the decline in prices in the last month in this market there was relative activity. The most attractive areas of the capital in September still were Yasamal, Narmimanov, Nasimi and Khatai.

The portfolio of offers in these four districts accounted for over 75%. In the SHH market, 53.3% of the total portfolio of proposals includes apartments priced below U.S. $ 980 per 1 sq. meter. Average cost for each room in the market was 44,130 dollars, and for an apartment it was 110,846 dollars.

According to experts, the relative activity in the market after the summer season is absolutely legal. As for the comparative price reductions for "Stalin", "Khrushchev" and "Minsk Project", it is explained by the decrease in the demand for them.
