Experts believe that the rise in the primary housing market is explained with the general trend of rising prices in these markets . Along with this , the increase in the purchasing power of the population in recent months has caused a rise in prices on the market. Negatively impacting the activation of the primary housing market are the following factors: lack of documentation to make sales , the lack of gas , the presence of the majority owner with a large area , as well as monopoly . In addition, the primary housing does not meet the mortgage . The majority of housing in the primary market is bought by people who change their apartments from the secondary market , as well as those who are looking for accommodation with a small quadrature. One of the experts , which plays the role of mediator in this market, believes that to find an apartment with a small area in new buildings has become a problem. However, to find an apartment with a large quadrature problem is not observed even in homes after 7-8 years of operation.
In the coming days, the primary housing market stability will continue.
