Nearly half of the properties purchased by Russian citizens this year sold for less than 30,000 euros.

The eastern border closure and banking suspension have contributed to a growing number of Russians selling their properties in Finland .

Russian sellers must have a bank account outside of Russia , which limits sales to those with means.

The Finnish Ministry of Defence has said it is preparing draft legislation which could place a total ban on Russian citizens buying real estate.
