The volume of mortgages issued in Russia in October decreased by 52% compared to September and amounted to 214 billion rubles, reports RBC citing Domclick data. The main reason for the decrease was a change in the terms of the family mortgage program, which led to a structural change in the market. The share of loans for new buildings decreased to 41.1% of the total volume of loans, while for finished apartments it increased to 33.3%.
