The price of each square meter of apartments in average and lower areas of Tehran has reached 200 million tomans. This significant increase in prices is a direct result of the rising costs of materials in construction projects, which has had profound effects on the housing market.
Factors Influencing the Increase in Housing Prices
In recent years, the housing market has experienced a lot of fluctuations. With the rise in construction material prices, many builders have faced serious challenges. This has led to an increase in the final cost of residential units and consequently, the base price of apartments has risen to 20 billion tomans. Mojtaba Yousefi, a member of the Civil Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, has emphasized that the increase in material costs can directly affect housing prices and, as a result, impact the purchasing power of households.

Consequences of Rising Housing Prices on Society
The increase in housing prices not only affects the housing market but also brings social and economic consequences. As prices rise, many families become discouraged from buying homes and turn to renting. This can lead to increased social and economic pressures on households. On the other hand, with the continued trend of rising prices, investment in other sectors is also affected and may lead to a decrease in economic growth.
Furthermore, studies show that investors and builders are also refraining from entering new projects due to market instability and rising costs. This uncertainty can lead to a decrease in the number of residential projects and ultimately, a shortage of supply in the housing market.
In these circumstances, officials and policymakers must take measures to control prices and support vulnerable segments of society. Creating conditions for producing housing at affordable prices and monitoring material prices can help improve the market situation. Otherwise, the negative consequences of rising housing prices may become more pronounced in the future.
