Housing is the most popular investment option in the Russian Federation

 


In recent years, more than half of Russian residents say that if they had a large sum of money, they would invest it in real estate. This is according to a survey conducted by Dom.ru and Wciom.ru.

According to this sociological study, 57% of respondents perceive housing as a reliable and profitable investment.

60% of respondents are convinced that it is even better than a bank deposit, despite the high interest rates on deposits.

55% of survey participants, if they needed an apartment to live in today, would prefer to rent it rather than buy it with a mortgage, and this is due to the high interest rate on a mortgage. On February 14, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Russia decided to keep the key interest rate at 21% per annum.

These survey results indicate that there is still a very high demand for private housing in Russia.

The telephone survey of Dom.ru and Wciom.ru was conducted using a standard questionnaire conducted from January 6 to 8, 2025. 1.6 thousand people aged 18 and over participated in it. Geography - the entire territory of the Russian Federation.
