Analysts noted the smallest gap between the average salary and the cost of a “two-room” apartment in the mass segment. The price for such apartments in the region was around 6 million rubles.
It will take residents of the Krasnodar Krai the longest to save up for their own housing – about 7 years. Experts believe that this gap is due to the resort status of the region. Apartments on the coast are more expensive than in the city of Krasnodar itself, according to analysts.
