The authorities want to educate Russians to be ready for mortgages through housing deposits for a period of one year. At this time, even rented housing is becoming less affordable. Developers are increasingly seeking to leave the city. We have collected the main news for the past week.
A new type of savings
The central bank, following the government, supported the launch of housing deposits in Russia as a new financial instrument to help future mortgagees. The relevant draft law provides for the conclusion of a deposit agreement for a period of one year in order to pay the first installment or repay the main mortgage loan. For other purposes, except for the purchase of housing, funds from this deposit will not be allowed to be used. At the same time, the depositor will have a choice – to conclude a mortgage agreement with the bank where he opened his housing deposit, or transfer funds to another financial institution.
The bill in its current form does not provide for the introduction of increased rates on housing. It is believed that the new tool will become interesting for customers due to the increased amount of insurance up to 10 million rubles against a maximum of 1.4 million for ordinary deposits.

“Basically, landlords have increased the price tags on their homes. This process was in line with the general rise in the price of rental housing: according to our data, rented apartments increased in price by the same amount. When home ownership becomes more expensive and mortgages become less affordable, rent is inevitably in high demand, which affects both the supply and the price.
