M 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 During 2015 Moscow’s high-budget segment of the rental market recorded consistently high supply levels. Intermark estimates since the beginning of 2015 put vacancy rate growth of high-budget rental apartments at 26%. 20-25 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). -26% Demand declines for high-budget rentals Demand on the high-budget rental market of Moscow was 26% lower than the previous year. The peak of activity was recorded in April. The most difficult months were January and March, when the dollar was strongest against the ruble. -30% Average rental budget falls By the end of 2015, the average rental budget of demand fell by almost 30% in dollar terms compared to 2014. -35% Average weighted supply price declines The current average weighted price of supply on the Moscow high-budget rental market in dollar terms is 35% lower than in 2014 and almost 40% lower than in 2013. ~4% Great predictability The average budget of rental supply became more predictable. In the last months of 2015, Intermark recorded minor fluctuations of about 4%. 1 www.intermarkrelocation.ru TENANT PROFILE Intermark Relocation estimated that in 2015 the proportion of foreigners in the pattern of demand for high-budget rent was 63% of all requests, a little bit lower than in 2014. Proportion of our countrymen in the pattern of demand is 33%, what is higher than in previous years and tenants from the CIS countries – 4%. 63% 2015 37% 66% 2014 34% International Assignee 66% 2013 Russian/ CIS 34% 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. 38% 2015 62% 53% 2014 47% 58% Single/Couples without children 2013 Families with children 42% 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. 87% 2015 13% 82% 2014 18% 89% Furnished 2013 2 www.intermarkrelocation.ru Unfurnished 11% 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).

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. 3 www.intermarkrelocation.ru Chart 1.2 Most popular areas for living in Moscow (January – December 2015) Leningradsky Prospect Tverskaya-Kremlin 2015 17% Arbat-Kropotkinskaya 12% Lubyanka-Kitay-Gorod 10% Zamoskvorechye 9% Krasnopresnenskaya 6% Prospekt Mira 6% Other 5% Taganskaya 4% Leninsky Prospect 3% Tsvetnoy Boulevard 3% Patriarshie Prudy 2% Frunzenskaya 2% Kutuzovsky Prospect 2% Kuntsevo 2014 18% 1% Source: Intermark Relocation Tenant preferences are also stable.

Compared to 2014, the biggest monthly increase of supply was observed in early 2015 with peaks in January and March (+31%). Despite the increase of supply over the whole year, Intermark noted a declining trend of this indicator (up to +15%) between April and November. However, in December the volume of supply had increased again (see chart 2.1).

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.

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. 10 www.intermarkrelocation.ru NEW MATERIALS Moscow Relocation Guide Relocation Guides Inside this edition of the Intermark Moscow Relocation Guide you will find all the facts of the local housing market and different areas of the city including the most popular residential areas, international schools, medical care and, of course, tips for adapting to Moscow life.
