Mortgages & Property Loans : Slight decline in interest rates
In January 2024, the average loan rate stood at 4.15% (4.08% for new home ownership and 4.14% for existing home ownership).
After two years of rapid progression, the average rate reached 4.24% in December 2023. But the increase was only .02 percentage points, closely following the inflection of the rate curve. The profitability of recent loans granted has in fact increased and is maintained within the stability of the ECB's refinancing rate, facilitating the increase in banks' funds pipeline.
The drop in the average rate observed in January is more rapid, that of .09 percentage points, in one month. And it occurs at the start of the year when usually it is in the spring that such declines tend to occur. However, this year banking establishments are seeking to revitalize the real estate loan market.
In January 2024, the average duration of loans granted was 248 months (263 months for new property ownership and 257 months for existing property ownership).
The average duration of loans granted has been more or less stable at around 247 months since last spring, beyond the fluctuations observed from one month to the next.
