Transactions in the housing sector rose 40 percent in Mehr (September 23-October 22), as market seems unlikely to see another jump in prices in the coming weeks, the head of the real estate union, Hesam Oghabie told FNA on Wednesday. “We expect the growth in sales to increase by year’s end,” he said. “The rise in transactions will stabilize prices, consequently,” he added. Oghabie also predicted that the possible removal of sanctions after nuclear negotiations with P5+1 would push the prices down further in the housing market.
