Positive investment outlook in the RE sector is suggested by the fact that the sale of building lots skyrocketed in 2020 (+30%yoy,2Q:-6.7%). Their share in overall reale state traded volumes reached 18%. The share of credit purchases was around 15%, while c.85% of real estate sales were cash-financed, largely in line with previous data. Credit-financed flats accounted for 1/3 of total sales in big cities.
