EXPAT HOUSING REVIEW
2015: Review and Conclusions
2016: Tendencies and Forecast
Annual Report
2015 - MAIN TENDENCIES AND RESULTS
Varvara Shatova
Account Manager / Team Leader
"The high-budget rental market has moved in 2015 to another stage of its development and participants have fully adopted the new "rules of the game". Primarily, we talk about preferential fixation of
rental rates in rubles, high competition between landlords, market saturation with quality apartments
and decrease of provided rental rates.
The year was very active for our company and transactions were concluded in different price segments. New tenants entered the market and those who had previously rented used the current situation to their own benefit. We conducted a lot of negotiations and moves.
The owners of high-budget real estate have acted differently and the number of transactions concluded
with participation of Intermark in 2015 exceeded 2014.
We expect that in the coming year, the dynamics of rental rates will still be determined by currency
fluctuations, but a sharp correction is not expected. In the conservative scenario the number of transactions in 2016 will remain at least at the same level."
Key numbers of 2015
+26%
Supply remains persistently high

apartments
Competition increases among landlords
By year-end, analysts count 20–25 apartments per tenant; a number is comparable with
the values of 2008-2009. In previous years, there were 8-10 apartments per tenant (i.e.,
half the selection).

In the age pattern the largest proportion of tenants (52 %) are from 35 to 49 years old. More than half
(51%) of customers, who prefer luxury apartments, are single. Last year the situation was the opposite: 55%
of customers were couples. 62% relocate with children and the majority have two or more children.

Furnished VS. Unfurnished
The same tendency – more families with children looking for larger apartments/houses which on Moscow
market are typically unfurnished – accounts for growth in demand for unfurnished accommodation. At the
same time due to high import duties overall the demand for unfurnished properties is still low – only 13%
vs. 87% demand for furnished accommodation.

DEMAND
By the end of 2015, demand for high-budget rental apartments had decreased by almost 26%. The reduction is accounted for by declining tenant interest: demand fell by 30% on average per month until September. From October, Intermark noted a monthly increase of 3% on average (i.e., demand level similar to the
last months of 2014).
One of the reasons for this reduction is the strong hike in demand rates in March 2014, the most favorable
month in a long time – in March 2015, demand was half that. According to 2015 results, the total number
of potential tenant requests had decreased compared to the previous year.
In December, for the first time in year, transactions increased (+20%). November was another relatively
good month where the underrun of transactions number from the previous month was only 2%.
The most severe periods of 2015 were January and March: -40% and -56% respectively compared to same
period in 2014. The monthly number of requests from potential tenants in 2015 was also negative when
compared to 2014. Nevertheless, December finally demonstrated a positive trend (see graph 1.1).

The territorial structure of demand on the high-budget rental market of Moscow has practically not
changed. Leningradsky Prospekt is consistently among the Top 3 most popular rental districts in the capital. By the end of 2015, potential tenants requests for property in this location were about 18%.
Tverskoy and Arbat-Kropotkinskaya districts came second and third: 17% and 12% of total requests
respectively.
A number of areas lost half of demand: Leninsky Prospect, Tsvetnoy Boulevard, Patriarshie Prudy,
Frunzenskaya, Kutuzovsky Prospect and Kuntsevo.

RENTAL RATES AND BUDGETS
By the end of 2015, average tenant budget for high-budget had fallen almost 30% in dollar terms compared to last year.
There was a noticeable reduction of rental rates, both supply and demand, during the second half of
2015. By year-end, the average supply and demand budgets had reached their minimum values.
Weighted average budget of proposals at the end of December 2015 was $4,714 per property per month:
35% less than in 2014. This 2015 indicator is lower than the average rental rates at the end of 2009.
The most expensive district is Arbat-Kropotkinskaya: $5,500 per property per month on average. Krasnopresnensky district is second with an average budget of $5,300 per property per month. It mainly influenced by Moscow City apartments that are more expencive than market average. In third place is Tsvetnoy
Boulevard with an average budget of $4,730.
Demand budgets were more volatile in 2015. From the beginning of the year, there was a decline following the revision of rental rates by landlords. But in the spring of 2015, the value of supply and demand
budgets reached equilibrium.
Following a strengthening of the ruble towards the end of 2015, the most highly corrected supply budgets were on Tverskaya, Arbat and Frunzenskaya streets. To a lesser extent, budgets were corrected on Leningradsky and Kutuzovsky avenues as well as Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

FORECAST AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Political tensions could negatively influence some landlords who may be less willing to rent apartments to
foreign companies or employees from certain countries.
Supply may slightly decrease if the ruble goes down. Some landlords believe that renting is no longer profitable and choose to sell their properties or use them for themselves. This should keep rental prices more
or less stable especially those denominated in rubles.
The general trend is still favorable for tenants: supply exceeds demand, giving tenants the possibility to
upgrade accommodation for the same money or even less.
Lease contracts are shifting to rubles. Intermark recommends avoiding lease agreements in foreign
currencies and renegotiating, running USD or EUR contracts into rubles.
Housing budgets need to be reviewed at the top and middle levels, in particular when priced in a foreign
currency. The budget housing market requires a differentiated approach as it remains quite competitive,
particularly in popular areas.
ANTI-CRISIS SERVICES
Rent Negotiations
Intermark constantly monitors real estate market and predicts changes in rental cost. If rental rates begin
to decline or if only appear prerequisites to this, we are ready to negotiate with landlords and fix a rental
rate in accordance with the current market. During the periods of rent decrease (1998, 2008, the end of
2014) employees of Intermark conducted several hundreds of successful negotiations, which in result led
to significant reductions in the clients’ cost savings.
Sublease
Project «Sublease» linked Intermark with our corporate clients and landlords. We offer our clients to
conclude an agreement of sublease straight with Intermark. After that our company will conclude an
agreement with landlords. Consequently we assume obligations both of the Tenant and of the Landlord
and responsible for every client.
Such scheme of collaboration has some advantages:
• no need for direct collaboration with the landlord.
• all sublease agreements signed on a single draft.
• easy and unified procedure of prolongation and termination of the contracts on the approved beforehand procedure.
• unified damage assessment procedure.
