Realtor assessed the probability of a crisis in the Russian real estate market

There is no threat of crisis in the Russian real estate market at the moment. This was reported on February 19 by Ruslan Syrtsov, Managing Director of Metrium.

According to him, there are no risks of formation of a "bubble" in real estate. Due to high mortgage rates, the demand for housing has decreased, which has led to stabilization of prices. In some cases, developers offer discounts of up to 15-20%.

"The share of overdue payments on loans does not exceed 1%, that is, borrowers faithfully contribute funds to repay the mortgage. Accordingly, there are no prerequisites for a crisis, especially threatening the economy as a whole," - said Syrtsov in conversation with "Gazeta.Ru".

The average market rate on mortgages in Russian banks is now 29%. Its increase is due to the growth of the key rate, which is currently 21%. This level was set on October 25, 2024 and was maintained on December 20 and February 14, 2025.

During 2024, the Central Bank raised the key rate three times, and in 2023 such measures were taken five times.
