and hopefully it is an indicator of another expectation
. And, on the contrary, it is the month with the fewest mortgages in the series for January. That is why we insist that with a housing policy the rebound would be notorious".
And he added: "As an illustrative data, in January 2018 there were more mortgage deeds than the total sales in January 2023."
"We have just finished the best year since 2018, which is why we hope that little by little we will be able to reverse the real estate market."

the sale of properties increased by 17.1% in all of 2022,
