About Capital Realty
Capital Realty is an independent information and analytics website about the Astana housing market. We publish prices and trends, district reviews and explainers on mortgage programs, tax rules and how to buy property — in Russian, English and Kazakh.
Who Prepares the Articles
Articles are prepared and published by the Capital Realty editorial team under the team's name: we do not attribute texts to invented authors or list credentials that cannot be verified.
Where the Data Comes From
- Official statistics — the Bureau of National Statistics (housing prices and rents, housing completions, population, wages) and the National Bank of Kazakhstan (base rate, inflation).
- Laws and official explanations — the Tax Code, the laws on shared participation in housing construction and on the legal status of foreigners, and explanations from the State Revenue Committee.
- Open market data — analytics from Krisha.kz and Homsters, business media and developers' official websites. We always label listing prices as asking prices, not transaction prices.
Every analytical article ends with a list of sources with links.
How We Handle Accuracy
- Checking primary sources: figures and rules are checked against documents and official publications; our own calculations and estimates are labeled as such.
- Dates and corrections: articles show publication and update dates. When data becomes outdated or an error is found, we correct the article and add a note about the change.
- No promised returns: we do not guarantee returns or give individual investment advice — readers make their own decisions about transactions.
What You Will Find on the Site
- The Astana Price Index — average prices, prices by housing class and by district.
- Reviews of all six districts of Astana.
- Guides to mortgages, taxes and buying property as a foreigner.
- An ROI calculator and a monthly market digest.
Advertising and Independence
The site is funded by Google AdSense contextual advertising; ad units do not influence the content of our articles. The project is not affiliated with developers and does not publish advertising disguised as analysis.
