“Russians buy up lands, look to Kashir” (“Rossiyane skupayut zemli po Kashirskomu napravleniyu”). Finam.info, 1 July 2009.  22 July 2010 http://finam.info/news/article2028000001/default.asp.

Update on land market demand structure.  Pre-crisis levels of speculation have dropped off, especially by manufacturers, retailers, logistical operations, developers, etc., which now prefer the system of renting built-to-suit land plots.  From 2008 to 2009, a decrease (5-10 ha to 3-5 ha) in the average and median size of land plots sought by individuals has been observed, which can be explained by an increase in small-scale private projects, and the aforementioned decrease in speculation.
