National housing prices became astronomical? / The latest national housing price
According to Tejarat News, according to the latest price per square meter of the units of the National Housing Movement, which is 4 million 700 thousand tomans, if some units reach the hands of the applicants at the same rate, the price of a 60 meter unit of this project will be 282 million tomans. Of course, some builders claim that due to the increase in the price of construction inputs, the price of each meter has reached about 8 million tomans, in which case a 60-meter apartment will cost 480 million tomans, a significant part of which is a bank loan.
Quoted from ISNAAccording to the statistics center, the average price of a 50-meter apartment in the Tehran housing market has reached 2 billion and 240 million tomans in July this year. National housing movement With the price announced by the government, which is 4.7 million tomans per meter, it costs 282 million, and with the price of 8 million tomans per meter considered by the builders, the price is 480 million tomans, which is about one fifth of the capital’s housing market rates.
Reaching the foundation stage of 430,000 units
The National Housing Movement project, whose goal is to build four million units in four years, with the provision of land for about 1.5 million units and reaching the foundation stage of 430,000 units, is ongoing throughout the country. Of course, a project of four million units has challenges. The Minister of Roads and Urban Development considers the non-cooperation of banks in paying facilities as part of these challenges. On the other hand, the builders say that the inflation of construction materials and non-payment by some applicants have caused problems in the projects.
Mass builders praise the government’s determination to implement a four million unit project in the housing sector. But they have not yet reached a common understanding with the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development. The most important difference of opinion between the private sector and the government is the difference over the price.
The minister’s complaint about the non-cooperation of banks with the project
On the other hand, the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development and builders are complaining about the banking system. According to the law, banks are required to allocate 20% of their annual facilities to the housing sector, but in recent years, about 5% of this obligation was fulfilled. It seems the door is still turning on its heels. A few days ago, Rostam Ghasemi, the Minister of Roads and Urban Development, said that banks do not cooperate in paying the facilities for the construction of houses of the National Housing Movement.
In the land supply sector, however, it seems that there is not much problem. According to Ghasemi, land has been provided for 1.5 million units so far. Statistics up to July 15 show that 430,000 units have reached the foundation stage, 201,000 units have reached the roof stage, 140,000 units have reached the stiffening stage, and 63,000 units have reached the carpentry stage, as promised by Mahmoud Mahmoodzadeh, Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development. 100,000 units will be delivered to applicants by the end of September.
Surplus government lands at the disposal of the National Housing Plan
One of the problems is related to the resistance of government agencies in handing over their surplus land to the National Housing Movement. To solve this problem, a memorandum of understanding has been concluded between the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development and the Document Registration Organization. The president has given government agencies time until the end of September to introduce their surplus lands, otherwise the lands will be registered in the name of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development of Sindh. It is said that so far 9% of the government’s surplus land has been allocated to the project of leapfrogging production and housing supply.
Regarding the status of project implementation, due to the lack of agreement between the private sector and the public sector, according to the builders, the work has not been completed. Seyyed Mohammad Mortazavi, the head of mass builders’ center, told ISNA a few days ago that the plan and budget organization did not take into account the inflation of the second half of last year when making adjustments. The government has announced the ceiling of the price per square meter of the National Housing Movement units at 4,750,000 Tomans. While some manufacturers talk about prices above 6 million tomans and even 8 million tomans.
Some manufacturers struggle with inflation
In an interview with Isna, Iraj Rahbar, a member of the board of directors of the Tehran Mass Builders Association and the builder of site 504 of the Shahriar National Housing Movement, said: At the beginning of this year, the cost of each cubic meter of concrete was between 600 and 700 thousand tomans, but now it is 1.1 million tomans. it is arrived. On the other hand, we are facing the delay of applicants in payment and non-payment of bank facilities on time.
Expressing concern about the gradual inflation of construction inputs, he said: If the government does not accept the adjustments, we may reach a point where we have to stop the work against our inner desire. Our equipment, such as the mold system, power, generator, etc., are expensive, and the lack of this equipment causes a waste of capital.
It seems that most of the contracts of the National Housing Movement project that have been concluded so far have been with the government sector. Mustafafan Foundation, Maskan Foundation, Executive Headquarters of Hazrat Imam (RA), Imam Hassan Mojtabi (AS) Camp are among the organizations active in the National Housing Movement Project. Officials of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development have invited well-known and active mass builders to participate in this project.
Land from the government, building houses from the people
Another part of the National Housing Movement project is the transfer of land to self-owners. In the cities where it is possible to provide land, the government provides the land to qualified applicants in the form of groups of two and three people to start construction by providing Iranian-Islamic maps and models. In some areas, it is also possible to assign land to one person. The transfer of self-owned land in the new city of Ivanki is done for the residents of Tehran, and probably in the future, with the provision of land, the cities of Qarchak and Pishva will also enter this process. According to Mahmoud Mahmoudzadeh, currently 333 thousand units of the National Housing Movement are self-owned.
Another model of the national housing movement plan is to pay facilities to land owners. In this way, the government allocates all the benefits of this plan to builders who own land or whose projects are half-finished, and these people can use the facilities of this plan up to 450 million tomans per unit.
Things are moving forward with strength and weakness
In any case, the National Housing Movement project is progressing with intensity and weakness despite the ups and downs in different regions of the country. This plan, if implemented, can lead to housing for many tenants; Tenants who allocate up to 70% of their income to pay rent in some cities. According to statistics, there are about 9 million tenant households in the country.
Due to the extreme fluctuations in housing prices that started in late 2016 and continues, buying a house has become an unattainable goal for many families. According to the statistics center, the average housing price in Tehran has reached 44.8 million tomans per square meter. That is, a 50-meter unit in the capital costs an average of 2 billion and 240 million tomans. The Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development for Housing and Construction says that land accounts for 40% of the price of housing in cities and 60% in metropolitan cities.
However, with the measures taken to eliminate land costs in the National Housing Movement Plan, the price of the units will be far lower than the market rates. Land allocation in the National Housing Action Plan includes 99-year lease, 10-year installment sale and participation in construction. Of course, the applicant’s form “C” must be green and they must not own land or residential units from 2004 onwards.
Having said that, even if we don’t consider the price per meter of 4.7 million tomans and the National Housing Movement units are built with a price of 8 to 10 million tomans per meter, a 60 meter unit will be built at a cost of 480 to 600 million tomans, which is less than a quarter The price of the apartment is 50 meters in Tehran.
