Federal developer DOGMA assessed the market trends in the real estate sector
Krasnodar, the capital of Kuban, is experiencing a surge in demand for one-bedroom apartments in 2025. According to recent data, this segment accounts for an impressive 46% of all residential real estate transactions in the city[1].
The high demand is primarily driven by the optimal price-to-functionality ratio, making one-bedroom apartments an attractive option for a variety of buyers[2]. The most active buyers include individuals and families benefiting from regional mortgage programs and preferential mortgage rates, which have been introduced or are planned to stimulate demand[3]. These incentives, especially in regions like Krasnodar, encourage more buyers to enter the market, boosting demand particularly among young professionals and small families.
The city's attractiveness is further bolstered by increased infrastructure investment and real estate development[3]. Additionally, the cost of living and rental prices remain relatively moderate, supporting active demand for smaller units suitable for singles or couples[4].
The trend is also influenced by a broader national trend of increased suburban and regional housing demand spurred by new mortgages and shifting lifestyle preferences after COVID-19[2][3].
The most popular one-bedroom units range from 40 to 50 sq.m., accounting for 27% of transactions. Units slightly smaller (30 to 40 sq.m.) are chosen by 25% of buyers, while 38% of clients are choosing to purchase storage rooms[2].
Alexei Nekrasov, Director of Sales at GK DOGMA, has stated the reasons for the high demand for one-bedroom apartments. Notably, most buyers are married, and every fourth buyer works in the retail sector[2]. Nearly a third of buyers have an income of 100 to 150 thousand rubles, reflecting a willingness among buyers to invest in additional comfort and convenience[2].
Interestingly, some buyers view one-bedroom apartments as a good option for future rental or resale, while the demand remains stable from young families and investors[2]. The "golden mean" size for one-bedroom apartments, allowing for harmonious division of space into zones for sleeping, relaxation, and cooking, is between 40 to 50 sq.m.[2].
In summary, the high demand for one-bedroom apartments in Krasnodar is a testament to the city's growing appeal and the attractive mortgage incentives available to buyers. The trend reflects a willingness among buyers to invest in affordable urban housing, with the most popular units falling within the 40 to 50 sq.m. range.
