Is it even realistic to get a mortgage right now? And is it realistic to pay it off? Prices are just terrifying, 70-100k and payments of 40k+, plus utilities... Are there any loopholes to make it easier? Because rent is also going up, also terrifying, 30k a month plus utilities...

It depends on your income. If your salary allows it, everything is possible 🤷 The payment of 70-100 is still small.

Seriously, it's better to hurry because the stakes definitely won't get any lower, nor will the cost of apartments

If you're paying 30 for rent, then 40 doesn't seem so scary. But only if there's a down payment; I can't imagine getting it without one 🙄

What to do? I took out a mortgage for a two-bedroom apartment a few years ago. The payment was 35k then, plus utilities. Now I rent it out for 35k, and we rent a house ourselves because we don't fit in the apartment, we have a big family. We're looking at buying a house with a mortgage or building one with a contractor. Yes, the payment will likely be 70k if we do.

No, that seems unrealistic.

We took it in May, paying 50. Well, actually my husband pays 😄 We don't see any improvement in the country or the real estate market overall, but we need to raise kids somewhere.

You need to understand your capabilities and desires.
Do you have a down payment?
If not, it's pretty hard to get a place.
If you have something, you need to look at developers. If there are different offers.
But rent here is only going up and it won't fall. Prices might stabilize when new buildings are completed, etc.
Because everyone bought there to rent out.

If not, then save up.
Maybe start with older buildings.
But you need to understand that renovations aren't cheap.
We have Kaliningrad - everything is even more expensive here)
And a mortgage means you pay for rent, the mortgage, and renovations.
You need to be prepared for this.
I'm speaking as someone who got a mortgage 2 months ago.
Everything is possible – you just need to calculate a plan)

This was my first time buying a home with a mortgage, the second time with cash. Both times involved risks. But I don't regret it now; real estate is appreciating, in my city by a couple of million a year. The economic and political situation, and other negative factors, are growing each year. This means you shouldn't wait for a "favorable moment" – it won't happen.

Anastasiya Kiseleva It depends on where you are, though. In my region, 100 is usually the combined family income. Not many people have more than that, so it's hard to afford such a payment.
