the Authors see the decline in prices for two reasons. First, in April, due to limitations associated with combating the spread of COVID-19, it was difficult to draw up the documents, the MFC in many regions has not worked in particular periods were closed and the banks. Therefore, the number of proposals on the secondary market declined. Those who exhibited apartment for sale, ready for a solid discount, foreseeing the inconvenience, because buyers in this period also became less.
on the other hand, was announced the mortgage on the primary property at 6.5 percent of the buyers have made their choice in favor of new housing, especially because when purchasing the primary the entire transaction can be carried out fully in distance format.
