       In Tatarstan, a record growth in the number of mortgage transactions was recorded in the first half of 2026, with the number exceeding 21 thousand, which is almost 60 percent more compared to the same period last year.

      

       Such significant dynamics confirm the high demand for housing loans in the republic, despite the overall macroeconomic situation. This is reported by RBC, citing data from the press service of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography for the Republic of Tatarstan, specifying that from January to July of this year, residents of the region submitted more than 21.6 thousand applications for state registration of mortgages using borrowed funds, which is 58.8 percent higher than the figures for 2025. The overwhelming majority of applications – over 2.2 thousand – were submitted electronically, with the share of online applications reaching 94 percent, indicating a high level of digitalization of banking and registration services in the region. According to the United Credit Bureau, about 20.5 thousand mortgage loans were issued in Tatarstan in the seven months of 2026. In terms of quantity, the republic ranked sixth among all Russian regions, second only to Moscow, where 49 thousand transactions were registered, the Moscow region with 37 thousand seven hundred, St. Petersburg with 30.4 thousand, Sverdlovsk region with 23.9 thousand, and Bashkortostan, where the number of mortgages reached 22.6 thousand. When recalculated per thousand residents, Tatarstan had 5.1 new mortgages for the seven months. This figure was higher than in Moscow and the Moscow region, where 3.7 and 4.4 were recorded respectively, but it slightly lags behind St. Petersburg's 5.4. The total volume of mortgages issued from January to July in Tatarstan, according to expert estimates, exceeded 89 billion rubles. By this criterion, the republic ranked fourth among the regions of Russia, entering the top five, which was led by Moscow, the Moscow region, and St. Petersburg. Meanwhile, the average mortgage loan amount in Tatarstan for January-July was 4.35 million rubles, which is significantly lower than in the leading regions by loan volume. It was previously reported that residents of Kazan owed more than 1.6 billion rubles for utilities.
