Доступность жилья является очень многогранным понятием, отражающим социально-экономические процессы, происходящие в обществе, учитывающее ожидания населения и его доходы. Проведен анализ факторов, определяющих ценовую политику в секторе недвижимости. Выявленные факторы разделены на две группы: объективные и субъективные. К группе объективных факторов отнесены такие, которые зависят от макроэкономической ситуации, ситуации на рынке недвижимости и факторы, на которые не могут повлиять домохозяйства. К субъективным отнесены факторы, которые зависят от особенностей самих домохозяйств или могут быть ими изменены. Показано, что влияние выявленных факторов необходимо рассматривать комплексно, что обусловлено их взаимосвязью и непропорциональной взаимозависимостью. На примере мониторинга цен для Иваново показан существенный разброс цен в сегменте жилья как эконом-класса, так и бизнес-класса. Проведены примеры анализа влияния различных факторов на формирование стоимости жилья в различных категориях. Предложено разделение понятий доступное жилье» и «доступное комфортное жилье». В частности, при расчете критериев доступности жилья (независимо от методики расчета) следует брать в расчет среднюю цену за наиболее экономичные варианты новостроек. Приводится обоснование важности участия государства в формировании доступного жилья за счет регулирования доходов граждан, а также внедрения государственных программ поддержки граждан по приобретению жилья. Housing affordability is a very multifaceted concept that reflects the socio-economic processes in society, which take into account the expectations of the population and its income. We carried out analysis of the factors determining the pricing policy in the real estate sector. All identified factors are divided into two groups: objective and subjective. The group of objective factors included those ones that depend on the macroeconomic situation, the situation in the real estate market and which cannot be influenced by households. Subjective factors include the ones that depend on the households or can be changed by them. We show that the influence of the identified factors must be considered comprehensively, which is due to their interrelation and disproportionate interdependence. On the example of price monitoring for the city of Ivanovo (Russia), we demonstrate a significant variation in prices in the segment of housing estate, both economy and business class. We give some examples of the analysis of various factors influence on the formation of cost of housing estate in various categories. We offer differentiation of the concepts of affordable housing estate and affordable comfortable housing . In particular, when calculating the criteria for housing affordability (regardless of the calculation method), the average price for the most economical options for new buildings should be taken into account. As well we offer substantiation of the importance of state participation in the formation of affordable housing estate both by regulating the income of citizens and by introduction of state programs to support citizens in home buying.

One of the main problems in defining strategies for the real estate market (whether in terms of planning and, therefore, in public administration, or whether of a considerably more speculative nature, and therefore, in the private sector) lies in the operator’s less than perfect knowledge of the aspects of supply and demand, due to the real estate market’s characteristics. The prerequisite to starting or sustaining virtuous dynamics in territorial development is knowledge of the real estate market, an area that has now been widely studied, in terms of the potential for economic, social and territorial development. This paper proposes the application of a synthetic index, the Housing Affordability Index (HAI), which was developed in detail at the municipality level to identify areas where housing is inadequate. The territorial scope includes Northwest regions of Italy, Liguria and Lombardy. HAI describes what happened and must then be understood conducing multi-disciplinary examinations, intended to explain why it happened.

Affordable housing remains a serious problem in many countries. Even as the housing affordability crisis deepens, most cities continue to exhibit robust real estate markets with high property prices. The low-income and poor households are unable to access affordable housing and remain excluded. This paper draws from empirical research conducted in the city of San Francisco and focuses on the application of Land Value Capture (LVC) through increased Inclusionary Housing (IH) requirements after plan changes that increased density potential in San Francisco’s Eastern Neighbourhoods to evaluate its effects on the goals of increasing both affordable housing and social inclusion. Findings reveal that the increased inclusionary requirements used as LVC mechanism enabled 76.2% of all the affordable housing units produced in the Eastern Neighbourhoods to be produced by market-rate developers in 2011–2015 as compared to the rest of San Francisco, where 35.5% of the affordable units were produced from the market through inclusionary policy during the same period. The study demonstrates that upzoning underutilised land coupled with a well-planned LVC mechanism can help harness the strength of the real estate market and increase both affordable housing production and social inclusion.

Abstract. The state of financial support of seven state programs of housing affordability, which currently operate in Ukraine, has been studied and analyzed. As a result, the most effective programs in terms of state aid and the average amount of state aid per recipient were identified. The main significant shortcoming in the implementation of state programs for housing affordability is their constant underfunding from the state budget, which hinders the manifestation of a synergistic positive effect. Deficit of budget funds and restrictions or complete refusal to allocate budget allocations to finance state support for housing affordability programs for various categories of the population negatively affect the state of development of the residential real estate market in Ukraine. This constrains both the demand and the supply of housing due to the lack of financial resources to cover the existing investment needs both at the construction stage and during the sale of already built residential real estate. The multiplier effect from the implementation of state programs of housing affordability on the revival of the real estate market by attracting citizens’ own funds to the construction industry is determined. The priority mechanisms for providing housing to Ukrainians are outlined: mortgage loans at 7% per annum with a down payment of 15% of the cost of housing and financial leasing at 5% without down payment, which are aimed primarily at supporting the population of Ukraine and strengthen protection of interest’s citizens. There is a need to improve financial and credit instruments that overcome the problem of lack of financial resources for the real estate market and help to quickly create the necessary residential real estate, taking into account the strategic interests of all participants — individuals (investors), developers, banks and non-bank financial institutions, state and local authorities, as well as local communities. Keywords: financial support, state program, investment projects, financial and credit instruments, mortgage loans, financial leasing, residential real estate market.

The interest of Construction investors towards Data Centres is a novelty that however is not supported by an adequate level of knowledge of the technical characteristics that distinguish this particular building type. In fact, these are complex buildings, which are rarely dealt with in the literature (real estate and construction) and very different from the typical asset class of the real estate market, for which it requires a very high level of specialization. From an investor's point of view, although there are some reference standards that define some minimum quality standards, we need to widen our attention, focusing on all the technical / technological factors that influence the business model. The paper deals with this problem, trying to identify the different elements that influence the risk profile of the investment (thus omitting risk factors of another kind) and structuring them in clusters. Specifically, the paper focuses on the cost factors (passive cycle of the business model) that accompany the investment or the real estate asset “data centres” in its life cycle.
