MORTGAGE NEWS: Interest rates just keep going down

Eurozone mortgage base rates were down again in november, the tenth consecutive month of negative rates.

12-month Euribor – the rate used to calculate most mortgage repayments in Spain – came in at -0.074 in November, down from -0.069 in October, and the tenth consecutive month of negative Euribor interest rates.

Compared to November last year, when Euribor was 0.079, the benchmark interest rate for Eurozone mortgages was down by 194%.

As a result, borrowers in Spain with an annually resetting Spanish mortgage will see their mortgage payments fall by around €8 per month for a typical €120,000 loan with a 20 year term.

Meanwhile, new mortgage lending rose 10% in September, according to the latest figures from the National Institute of Statistics. That’s more money pouring into the Spanish property market on the buying side, but the overall value of outstanding mortgage loans is still falling, as more mortgages are retired than issued.

It is of importance to point out that negative base rates are a crazy situation, but also a golden opportunity for investors to buy Spanish property near the bottom of the market with a long-term fixed interest loan at a time when borrowing money is probably as cheap as it is ever going to get.
