The aim of the research is substantiation of the need in differentiated approach to cadastral appraisal within the different development of Land for Individual Residential Development land property market in Russian inhabited localities. The authors propose the classification of Russian inhabited localities by land property market development level.

Methods. The inhabited localities were classified by real estate market development level using k-means, principal component analysis, histograms, stopping rules - approaches defining the best suitable number of the clusters. Results. The authors have developed the classification of inhabited localities by real estate market development level. It is represented by the following groups: inhabited localities with developed individual residential construction land property market (more than 129 purchase/sale deals per year and on the average more than 700 deals for the studied period); inhabited localities with relatively developed individual residential construction land property market where the number of deals is spread irregularly, from 10 to 150 deals per year with the average of 300 deals for the studied period; inhabited localities with weakly developed individual residential construction land property market (up to 10 deals per year, up to 50 deals for the studied period).
