Thus, sales of ready-made houses in May of this year, compared to the same period last year, increased by almost one and a half times. The cost depends on the area of ​​the finished building, materials and manufacturer: for example, utility room will cost an average of 50 thousand rubles, and the price cottage with a total area of ​​more than 350 square meters can reach 19-20 million rubles.

Buyers have access to offers from thousands of expert sellers who will consult and select products for the optimal budget and customer request.,” comments the head of the Construction and Repair category Andrey Kolpakov.

Most suburban residents travel by car, so at their dachas garages and sheds are also in demand.
