In the five months of 2011 was introduced in the Novosibirsk region 276 000 square meters of housing, including in Novosibirsk – 188 000. The situation in the construction industry complicated by the fact that the proportion remains high handed, but unsold homes – about 20%. At the same time, mortgages are not sufficiently active. Since the beginning of the regional Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending issued loans totaling 214 million rubles. June 6 as the correspondent BakuToday the District Information Center “Siberia”, of this was discussed at a meeting on the construction sector of the Novosibirsk region, held by Presidential Envoy in the Siberian Federal District, Viktor Tolokonsky.
“Novosibirsk has several advantages: the city attractive to live here permanently high housing need. But for the market development need to use efficient mechanisms for state support for the industry” – says Victor Tolokonsky. In his view, the main challenge now – to encourage a more active demand from the population. “Public policy should aim at lowering the costs of housing, so that apartments were available to the widest possible range of citizens,” – said the envoy.
At the meeting were announced major systemic problems the construction industry. This high cost of housing, lack of preparedness of engineering areas, the high cost of credit, which banks lend to developers.
Measures taken by the heads of departments of the City and region to promote development and reduce the cost of housing, inadequate, according to the authorized representative. He stressed the need to develop additional programs and solutions.
One of the constraints is to connect to utility services. These issues are now engaged in real estate developers, which leads to higher final prices of housing to consumers. One solution – for auction site, has already secured the necessary communications, said authorized representative. “Construction companies should not pay for the connection object to water or electricity. These questions should decide the region or municipality”, – said Victor Tolokonsky.

Systematic and efficient development of the industry, reduce costs and increase affordability of housing should contribute to a special investment programs at the regional and municipal levels.
“Initiated a special program for housing development should be region and the federal budget can be carried out only co-financing, offsetting a small part has already made the cost of engineering infrastructure construction sites,” – said authorized representative.
