Mortgages for new-builds are breaking records: two-thirds of purchases are mortgage-financed.
Experts attribute this dynamic to two key factors. First, the gradual reduction of the Bank of Russia’s key rate has made mortgages more affordable and bank deposit interest rates less attractive. This likely encouraged citizens to move funds from deposits to form down payments, reports the portal volga.news.
Second, the surge in demand was fueled by the authorities’ decision to tighten the conditions of the "Family Mortgage" from February next year. From February, families with a child under six will be able to buy only one apartment at the preferential rate, not two as was previously possible.
The main drivers of the market remain government-subsidized programs such as the "Far Eastern", "Arctic" and "Family" mortgages.
Leaders by share of mortgage transactions in October were the Republic of Tuva (93%), Kabardino-Balkaria (92%) and Adygea (89%). Among the capital’s regions, the largest share of mortgages was recorded in the Moscow Region (69%) and Moscow (66%), where the figures also showed month-on-month growth.
