Domclick noted the growing interest of Russians in buying housing

In Russia, there is a gradual recovery in the volume of housing loans, which indicates the adaptation of the mortgage market to new conditions, said Alexey Leipi, director of Sberbank's Domclick department, during the Domclick Digital Forum in Moscow.

"In 2026, we forecast an increase in the volume of disbursements for all mortgage lending programs by 35% to 5.6 trillion rubles," he said.

Leypi added that government support remains the driver of the mortgage market. However, against the background of a decrease in market rates (by 9 percentage points since the beginning of the year), demand for basic mortgages is growing, and the share of government-supported programs in the issuance structure is decreasing and now stands at less than 80%. Domclick expects a more than twofold increase in disbursements under market programs in 2026.

At the same time, there is a slowdown in the growth of real estate prices in Russia. So, since the beginning of the year, the cost of 1 sq. m. The share in the primary housing market increased by 4%, while the growth in the secondary market was 6%. At the same time, the price growth for primary real estate was below the inflation rate. In Moscow, starting in January, the cost is 1 sq. m. The price in new buildings increased by 6%, in the secondary housing market the price of a "square" increased by 7%.
