Prices for materials for finishing apartments have soared by 11% since January

According to Forbes, since January, repair materials have become 11% more expensive in six months, and by December, the price increase may increase to 15%.

Due to the sharp rise in prices for building materials, developers have sharply reduced offers for the sale of apartments with finishing.

As Kommersant writes with reference to data from analysts of the Infoline group, prices were affected by increased transport costs and low inventory.

The serious weakening of the ruble, which has been observed in recent months, may further aggravate the situation, since the production of many construction products requires foreign equipment and raw materials.

Experts pointed out that varnishes, paints, dry building mixes and consumables have risen in price most significantly. For some types of products, the growth was almost 50%.
