### Russian Real Estate Market Sees Growth in 2025, With December as Strongest Month In 2025, the Russian real estate market saw the sale of 25.6 million square meters of housing, totaling 5.2 trillion rubles, according to the analytical center of DOM.RF (a state-owned company responsible for the development of the housing market in Russia). In terms of volume, sales increased by 1% year-on-year, while in monetary terms, they grew by 11%. December proved to be the strongest month for sales, accounting for 14% of the annual total, or 3.5 million square meters worth 752 billion rubles. Sales of housing through mortgage programs made up 73% of the total, while cash and installment purchases accounted for 27%. This ratio changed only slightly compared to 2024, when the figures were 76% and 24%, respectively. Experts predict that demand for new housing will slow down in the first half of 2026. Further recovery of the market will depend on the pace of monetary policy easing.
