Far Eastern mortgages surge threefold at Dom.RF Bank in early 2026
Dom.RF Bank has seen a sharp rise in Far Eastern mortgages during early 2026. The programme issued nearly 2 billion rubles (around $22 million) in loans by the end of March. This figure marks a threefold increase compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter of 2026, Far Eastern mortgages accounted for 7% of Dom.RF Bank’s total mortgage lending. Demand peaked in February and March, when these loans reached 11% of the bank’s monthly issuance. The bank now ranks among the top four lenders for the programme.
Primorsky Krai led regional activity, responsible for 24% of all Far Eastern mortgages. The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) followed with 18% of the total. Medical professionals made up 17% of borrowers, benefiting from expanded eligibility rules. Recent changes allow employees of state and municipal medical organisations to qualify, regardless of their primary role. The only requirement is that their employer must operate within Russia’s Far Eastern Federal District or the Arctic Zone. Alexey Kosyakov, deputy chairman of Dom.RF Bank’s board, noted that these broader terms help more residents achieve homeownership in the region.
The programme’s growth reflects both higher demand and wider access for borrowers. With nearly 2 billion rubles issued in three months, Far Eastern mortgages now form a significant share of Dom.RF Bank’s lending. The expanded criteria have particularly supported medical workers and local organisations.
