Average interest rate on new mortgages

CBA Commentary
Despite higher market interest rates, the average realised interest rate on new mortgages remained at 4.48% in November after falling in October, stabilising a downward trend below the 5% last seen in July 2024. Its November level is therefore 0.37 percentage points lower than the 4.85% rate a year ago, reducing monthly mortgage repayments by around 1% of an applicant's net income, or CZK 9,900. 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.

Is the unchanged CNB interest rate at 3.50% a sign of the coming bonanza or the calm before the storm?
Comment by Jaromír Šindel, Chief Economist of the CBA: The central bank did not surprise by unanimously leaving interest rates unchanged, i.e. with the two-week repo rate at 3.50%, for the fifth meeting in a row after a 25bp cut in May. Although the Board did not change its view of the risks and uncertainties surrounding the CNB's November forecast, it did assess the risks to inflation as balanced, given the risks in financial markets and the removal of the renewable energy levy, following November's upside assessment.
