In May, the mortgage did not keep up with the crisis: the volume of loans fell by 73%

According to the analytical portal on June 8 Frank RG, last month banks entered into mortgage borrowers 31.5 thousand contracts, which is 73% less compared to the same period last year.

Then the demand of buyers was more focused on the segment of new buildings. In April, activity continued to decline, views dipped by 40% compared to the background values of winter.
