“Secondary market, usually so conservative, this time reacted to the situation quite sensitively. Apparently, the apartment owners realize how serious the situation in the economy, and I foresee difficulties with the purchasing power of compatriots. They understand that preferential mortgage at 6.5% will pull the remaining demand from “secondary” for new buildings”, – said General Director of the portal Pavel Lutsenko. In his opinion, the owners of property now or try to quickly sell your property or withdraw it from sale until better times. “If this goes on, prices on the secondary market could fall by 5-10% in the medium term and to 15-20% by the end of the year,” predicts Lutsenko.
At the end of the first quarter the secondary of the apartment, by contrast, rose by 1.7% (the leader was Krasnoyarsk, where prices rose by 5.2%). This was due, primarily, an excessive demand on housing at the end of March. Because of the collapse in oil prices and changes in the exchange rate of the ruble buyers invest in real estate free money, and quickly sought to solve the housing problem, for fear of increasing mortgage rates.
