CBA Hypomonitor: Higher Rates and Regulations Slowed Mortgage Growth, but the Market Remained Strong in June
Jaromír Šindel 17. 07. 2026

The average interest rate on new mortgages rose to 4.79%, while the average mortgage amount fell back below 4.7 million crowns. Banks and building societies issued new mortgages (excluding refinancing) totaling 36.5 billion crowns. After months of exceptionally strong mortgage activity, June saw a clear return to the robust normal levels seen in the second half of last year. In the first half of the year, the volume of new mortgages reached 216 billion crowns, which is 66 billion more than last year. Higher market interest rates and expensive real estate remain the main obstacles.
