The SWOT-analysis of development of the housing market in the Republic of Kazakhstan

 

The real estate market and level of its development characterize development of national economy. In development of real estate market in Kazakhstan, it is possible to allocate the following stages.

The first, most rough period of development, real estate market worried in the early nineties. Opening and development of the enterprises happened practically in legal vacuum, demand much more advanced the offer, and, therefore, the income was very high. The reference point can be considered here permission to privatization of apartments and, as a result, the appeared opportunity to sell and buy apartments. Then there was a significant amount of businessmen and just wealthy people who wanted to improve the housing conditions in the new way, that is not expectation of free municipal accommodation, not difficult schemes of exchange, and just purchase of apartments. Apartments were at that time privatized slightly, selling apartments there was a little, and there were already enough buyers [1].

At the second stage the first regulations appear. This period is characterized by granting considerable privileges that, at preservation of a good conjuncture, allowed gaining good income that attracted in this segment of the market of new businessmen. Increase in prices for housing began, but apartments began to be on sale much more difficultly, and the buyer became choosier. There were new forms of customer service. Appeared, in particular, and sale of apartments with payment by installments, granting the credits on the security of apartments began to extend widely. Some firms began to work under exclusive contracts, undertaking the obligation to realize the apartment of the client for a certain term.

The third stage is characterized by an excess of demand over supply, toughening of the legislative base, intense competition in the market that led to fall of the income. The small enterprises are ruined, average and even large combat for survival.

From the second half of the year 2001 there came the new stage of development of real estate market of Kazakhstan - a stage of the beginning of stabilization and some rise. It occurred against the background of favorable development of macroeconomic indicators in the country and, in particular, low inflation rates, smooth and limited devaluation of tenge to dollar[2].

Respectively, the fourth stage (2001-2007) in market development - a cycle of new construction when improvement of an economic situation in the country, growth of the monetary income of the population, introduction of system of mortgage lending and development of capital development, increase in prices for primary and secondary real estate is observed begins. Again, the situation when demand exceeds offers takes place. Meanwhile, the global financial crisis subjected real estate market to influence of external shocks. Respectively, it is possible to consider that the real estate market entered the fifth stage (2007-2010) when the cycle of saturated market was realized. It caused crisis in construction, reduction of prices, suspension of construction, suspension of issuance of credits by banks, the high rate of inflation, the low monetary income of the population. In the market, the offer of the real estate exceeds demand.

Situation in Kazakhstan such is that the entry of real estate market in the sixth stage was outlined (since 2010) to which it is characteristic: banks of the second level and real estate development companies are focused on the buyer having own means, but not loan, development of construction at the initiative of the state, the state support of real estate development companies for completion of shared-equity construction, preferential crediting[3].

For carrying out the analysis, development of real estate market can be considered on four aspects:

Strengths – internal merits.

Weaknesses – internal negative qualities.

Opportunities – the external factors improving prospects.

Threats – the external factors capable to undermine future success.

Analyzing the cost of a residential real estate, it is possible to draw a conclusion that

since 2015 there is its gradual decrease (see the figure 2) connected with the following factors:

• transition to a floating rate of tenge;

• devaluation of tenge;

• In 2016 the GDP level grew by 1%, and in 2017. For 1 quarter made 3%;

• percent on issuances of credits in BVU for small and medium business

made from 20-25%;

• drop in oil prices;

• increase in the rate of inflation.

For settlement of the above-stated situations the state holds events for development of the market of a residential real estate that is the positive (strong) side of the analysis of the considered market.

For preservation of growth rates of construction and ensuring end of construction objects which input is provided in 2014-2020 to builders by the state presented support through Fund of sustainable development of Samrukkazyn. On construction of housing through JSC Real Estate Fund Samruk- azyna it is provided to use proceeds of credit from JSC Samruk- azyna and means of National fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan: in 2013 – 39 621 million tenges, in 2014 – 59 432 million tenges.

      The amount of financing of the Program for 2012 - 2020 will be specified for the corresponding financial year within expected indicators of the republican budget and within the procedures provided by the budget legislation by consideration of an order of realization of the budgetary investments

      Banks of the second level reduce to shareholders interest rates for earlier allocated credits.

Meanwhile, it is only the narrow contingent of the negatives shown on domestic real estate market.


It is known that the defining indicators in development of this market is a price level, development of standard and legal base, the size construction investments and the area, volume of commissioning of the inhabited massif of the real estate. In Kazakhstan all these indicators are connected with realization of a complex of state programs.

Introduction of State programs of RK solves the following social and economic problems:

• implementation of offers on demand for the housing real estate;

• improvement of system of mortgage lending;

• development of construction savings system;

• crediting of local executive bodies;

• development of individual housing construction;

• development of the investment capital for individual housing constructions;

• improvement of programs of a contribution of the state investments on housing construction;

• reduction of prices for 1 sq.m. of the real estate;

• Introduction of new technologies and development production, environmentally friendly domestic construction materials.

Thus, in a research the analysis of a situation in real estate market is made and the reasons of change of cost of housing from 2010-2016 are established. For the purpose of forecasting and an assessment of real estate, market in the Republic of Kazakhstan in dissertation work the attention was focused on:

• definition of groups of the factors influencing market estimation of cost primary real estate in the Republic of Kazakhstan, including Astana;

• forecasting of indicators of efficiency of the market by a veinreal estate;

• identification of prospect and recommendations about improvement the market of a residential real estate in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
