The completion of the government-backed mortgage program smoothed out differences in the conditions for buying apartments and apartments, so in the second half of the year we saw a revival in both buyers and developers. Currently, service apartments are one of the most attractive properties for non-professional investors. Their popularity is due to the relatively low entry threshold and minimal time spent on management, as they are transferred to the management company.In the future, as the key interest rate decreases, we expect an increase in investor interest in the segment.”
