How a strategic partnership between a leading Russian luxury real estate agency and one of the UAE's fastest-growing developers gives high-net-worth buyers direct access to a development portfolio valued at AED 32 billion.
By 2026, Russia's residential property market has fully adapted to a prolonged era of expensive commercial capital and tighter government regulation. The period when subsidised mortgages at 6–8% were widely available with minimal eligibility restrictions has come to an end, leaving behind a price gap of nearly twofold between the primary and secondary housing markets.
How should buyers and investors navigate these new market realities, and which underlying mechanisms now determine whether a property transaction is truly advantageous? In this analysis, Ashtons International Realty examines the key developments shaping Russia's mortgage market in 2026.
Ten years ago, family offices in Russia were rarely discussed and usually in a low voice. By 2026, the picture has changed: family offices have become a noticeable player in the luxury real estate market.

Ashtons International Realty explains how family offices work with real estate, what this structure provides, and how it interacts with professional brokers.
Between January and May 2026, Russia recorded 568,793 secondary housing market transactions—nearly a fifth more than the previous year. We look into who is returning to move-in ready apartments and what this turnaround means for buyers in the premium segment.
