Regional housing market in the context of socio-economic polarization (case of the Republic Of Kalmykia)

The presented work provides a comprehensive study of the housing and construction market in the Republic of Kalmykia over the period from 2016 to 2024. Despite the existence of numerous publications on the national housing construction issues, the specific features of Kalmykia, which have special socio-economic conditions, remain understudied. Based on the analysis of statistical information, the authors identify the main trends and systemic problems in the industry. It is demonstrated that despite the achievement of maximum housing construction figures in 2023 (142,004 sq. m) and the region’s entry into the top three among the Russian Federation’s constituent entities in terms of real estate market potential, the development of the sector is characterized by instability and internal contradictions. The conclusion is substantiated that the housing sector of the republic is in a phase of systemic crisis. The lack of effective mechanisms for solving the housing problem deepens social stratification, contributes to the migration outflow of the population, and hinders economic growth. Overcoming this situation requires a set of measures that include not only stimulating construction activity, but also increasing the real incomes of citizens, diversifying the regional economy, and modernizing the technological base of the construction industry.
