"In the second half of the year in Russia, the pace of output of new projects in the primary real estate market slowed down. In this way, developers are adjusting supply in response to market conditions - increased credit burden and lower buyer activity after the end of mass preferential mortgages. Market drivers are still preferential government programs, installments from developers, as well as alternative transactions, when the purchase of an apartment in a new building is financed through the sale of secondary housing", - summed up the managing director of primary real estate "Avito Real Estate" Dmitry Alekseev.
