Average interest rate on new mortgages

CBA Commentary
Rising market interest rates kept the average realised interest rate on new mortgages at 4.52% in September, after a slight decline in August from 4.53% in July. Its reduction thus confirms a downward trend below the 5% last seen in July 2024. Its September level is thus 0.44% points lower than the 4.96% rate a year ago, reducing monthly mortgage payments by around 1.2% of an applicant's net income, or £1.1k. CZK. By comparison, the average mortgage rate in 2024 was 5.07%, compared to 5.81% in 2023. Hypomonitor's history since 2020 shows its lowest point at 1.95% in January 2021 and its highest point at 5.98% in December 2022.
