According to the Accounts Chamber, by the beginning of 2024 in Russia there were 755.6 thousand families who issued a family mortgage, 62.8 thousand families with a Far Eastern mortgage, 1.39 million borrowers with a total preferential mortgage for new buildings and 41.3 thousand specialists with IT mortgages.[1]

Russian banks have exhausted IT mortgage limits

Russian banks have almost completely exhausted the limits on the issuance of IT mortgages. According to the ДОМ.РФ, by September 12, 2024, the program limit was used by 96%, the remaining volume is only ₽30,3 billion, which is significantly less than the volumes issued in May and June 2024.

According to TASS, the analysis of the data shows that the main banks participating in the program are close to the full use of their quotas. Thus, Rosbank has exhausted 99.2% of the limit, Alfa-Bank - 98.3%, Bank ДОМ.РФ - 97.6%, Sberbank - 97.5%, and VTB - 97%. These institutions are leaders in issuing IT mortgages, which led to the rapid spending of program funds.

Russian banks have exhausted IT mortgage limits

The IT mortgage program was actively used in the first half of 2024. In May 2024, 6.74 thousand loans were issued for a total of ₽63,67 billion, and in June - 6.93 thousand for ₽66,06 billion. However, since July 2024, after tightening the conditions of the program, the volume of issuance has sharply decreased: only 2.83 thousand mortgages for ₽30,29 billion were issued. In August 2024, this figure decreased even more - to 177 contracts for ₽1,76 billion.

The head of the ipoteka.global platform, Sergei Gordeiko, noted that a significant increase in limits should not be expected. He explains this by the policy of the Central Bank of Russia and the high costs of compensation to banks under preferential programs. In his forecasts, such news about the exhaustion of limits will appear more and more often, as budget loads grow, especially after the Central Bank raised the key rate to 19% on September 13, 2024.

From August 1, 2024, the conditions of the IT mortgage program were changed, and now the purchase of housing at a preferential rate is impossible in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The maximum rate under the program is set at up to 6% per annum, and the maximum loan amount is up to ₽9 million.[2]

The Russian government has increased budget spending on IT mortgages by 23 billion rubles

On July 31, 2024, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to allocate additional allocations for IT mortgages, which is associated with the high demand for this program. Budget expenditures in this area will be increased by more than 23 billion rubles.

The initiative was announced by the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin. According to him, the bulk of the additional budgetary allocations will be allocated in the third quarter of 2024. This will improve the living conditions of approximately 2.5 thousand. IT professionals. In total, by the end of 2024, it is planned to issue an additional 4.5 thousand mortgage loans on new terms. According to the head of government, for the entire time of the implementation of the program of preferential mortgage lending for IT specialists, banks received over 275 thousand applications and issued loans worth 700 billion rubles. Such loans are issued by over 50 organizations.

The Government of the Russian Federation decided to allocate additional allocations for IT mortgages

In turn, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko emphasizes that the domestic digital industry is developing at a high pace, and "it is important that this development takes place evenly throughout Russia." It is expected that the expanded IT mortgage program will contribute to this goal.

The Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation explains the change in the conditions of IT mortgages by the fact that earlier more than half of the distributed funds were directed to the purchase of housing in Moscow and St. Petersburg, where the salaries of borrowers - IT specialists are much higher than the national average - 300 thousand and 230 thousand rubles, respectively. Therefore, priorities were adjusted to support and preserve personnel in the regions. Moreover, many regions, due to their programs, additionally reduce the IT mortgage rate in order to retain specialists. It is also said that providing a preferential rate for issued mortgages, taking into account the key rate, will cost the federal budget more than 180 billion rubles until 2030.[3]

Programmers in Russia will not be able to quit without paying off the IT mortgage

At the end of July 2024, the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation announced new conditions for the provision of preferential mortgages for IT specialists. One of the innovations is that IT specialists will not be able to quit without paying off a subsidized loan for the purchase of real estate.

The minimum term of work in an IT company: there were - five years from the moment the loan was issued, it became - during the entire term of the mortgage, - specified in the message of the Ministry of Digital Development.[4]

IT mortgage takers banned from quitting until it is repaid

The rate on the updated IT mortgage increased from 5% to 6% per annum. The chief expert of Rusipotek, Sergei Gordeiko, in a conversation with RIA Real Estate, suggested that a change of one percentage point would not negatively affect the demand for IT mortgages at current market mortgage rates.

Those who did not want to take out an IT mortgage before will now take it to at least fix forced financing at current deposit rates: to take money from it and pay for a mortgage. A rough scheme, but all the current distortions lead to this, - the expert believes.

Renat Lashin, executive director of the Association of Software Developers "Domestic Software," noted that preferential mortgages turned out to be "one of the most effective tools for attracting and retaining IT specialists in the country."

File:Aquote1.png
It is gratifying that in the context of an increase in rates for all similar programs, the approved maximum IT mortgage rate from August will be up to 6% per annum. Thus, IT mortgages will still remain attractive to IT specialists. Changing the terms of the program with a focus on the regions will support local IT specialists, as well as additionally attract qualified personnel to the cities of Russia to obtain a preferential mortgage, he believes.

The government  has extended the IT mortgage until 2030. It is expected that at least 82 thousand specialists will be able to purchase housing at a preferential rate.

IT mortgage extended, but not in Moscow and St. Petersburg

On July 31, 2024, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to extend the program of preferential mortgage lending for IT specialists until 2030. It is assumed that this will contribute to strengthening the personnel capacity of the relevant industry. Moreover, in order to retain qualified workers in the regions, the program does not apply to Moscow and St. Petersburg.

In accordance with the new conditions, the maximum rate is up to 6% per annum, and the maximum loan amount on preferential terms is up to 9 million rubles. At the same time, the rate can be further reduced due to banking and regional initiatives. To obtain a concessional loan, certain conditions must be met. Thus, the applicant's minimum salary before personal income tax should be from 150 thousand rubles a month in million-plus cities, as well as in the Moscow and Leningrad regions. For other cities and settlements, the bar is set at 90 thousand rubles per month or more.

IT mortgage program extended until 2030

As Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko noted, taking into account the extension of the program until 2030, at least 82 thousand regional IT specialists will be able to purchase housing at a preferential rate. The government decided to additionally allocate over 39 billion rubles, which will be used both to support IT workers under the updated conditions of the program, and to finance previously issued mortgage loans.

The updated program applies to specialists aged 18 to 50 who work for the duration of the mortgage agreement in accredited IT companies that meet the criteria for recipients of tax benefits. IT mortgages can be issued for the purchase of housing under construction or finished housing in the primary real estate market or for individual housing construction.[5]

The Ministry of Digital Development and the Ministry of Finance were instructed to find 28.5 billion rubles for already issued IT mortgages

On June 18, 2024, it became known that the Russian government instructed the Ministry of Digital Development and the Ministry of Finance to find an additional 28.5 billion rubles for the implementation of IT mortgages already issued.

According to Kommersant, representatives of one of the largest banks confirmed the presence of a shortage of funds to cover the costs of the already issued IT mortgage. Banks issue loans from their own funds, and then the operator of the Дом.РФ program compensates for the costs. However, at the moment there are not enough funds, and additional funding is required. According to bankers, the total amount of funds may end in the near future, but whether an additional 28.5 billion rubles will be enough, the program operator will estimate.

According to the source of the newspaper, by June 2024, IT mortgages "are not a priority condition for employees in employment, since the loan rate depends on the accreditation of the company and the availability of a state subsidy for banks." According to the interlocutor, the rate can return to market value if the employee decides to change jobs and gets a job in an unaccredited IT company:

IT company Postgres Professional reported a significant increase in demand for IT mortgages among its employees. Vice-President of the Association of Banks of Russia Alexei Voilukov warns that in the absence of subsidies for preferential mortgage loans, banks have the right to raise the rate to the market level.[6]

Moscow and St. Petersburg will be disconnected from IT mortgages

According to the Vedomosti newspaper, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko instructed the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Digital Development to work out the issue of extending preferential mortgages for IT specialists. Initially, it was assumed that the action of this program, available from May 2022, will be completed at the end of 2024. As of June 2024, more than 70 thousand IT specialists in the amount of approximately 630 billion rubles used preferential mortgages, which exceeded the expected support indicators.

The proposed changes in the IT mortgage program, in addition to the exclusion of Moscow and St. Petersburg, provide for an increase in the threshold for the minimum level of salaries. In accordance with the previous conditions, IT specialists should receive at least 150 thousand rubles a month in Moscow, at least 150 thousand rubles in other million-plus cities and at least 70 thousand rubles in other Russian cities.

According to the study, the average buyer of real estate in the primary market, using a preferential mortgage for IT specialists, has grown younger from 33 to 32 years in 1.5 years.

The initial payment decreased from 3 million to 2.4 million rubles, the monthly payment - from 47.6 thousand to 42.3 thousand rubles.
