For example, the impact on the average monthly new mortgage payment of approximately 25,900 CZK, with a median of 20,8,000 The combination of an increase in the interest rate and a higher average mortgage amount in August 2026, compared with the average values from 2025, raised the average monthly payment on a newly granted mortgage by 3,200 CZK.
The increase in mortgage rates by 0.4 percentage points from their 2025 average of 4.58% resulted, for an average mortgage size with its typical repayment period of nearly 27 years, an increase in the monthly payment of just under CZK 1,100 to approximately CZK 25,900. Compared to the average mortgage rate of 5.07% in 2024, the change due to the interest rate amounted to just under 200 Kč for a mortgage at its current average value.
However, the current average mortgage amount was 9% higher than its average amount in 2024, which contributes to an increase in the monthly payment of 2,200
Conversely, compared to the average 2.33% mortgage interest rate for new mortgages in 2021, the current refinancing rate of 4.97% —when the loan term is shortened—increases the monthly payments on an average mortgage by nearly 3,300 CZK, or about 6.4% of the current average gross wage. However, the average gross wage has increased by 32% compared to the end of 2021.

CBA Hypomonitor: Higher Rates Cooled the Mortgage Market in July, but Not Its Strength
Jaromír Šindel 14. 08. 2026

The average mortgage rate rose to 4.9%. The July mortgage figures reveal four main trends. First, both the number and volume of new mortgages have stabilized at lower, but still strong, levels. Second, the rise in actual mortgage rates remains gradual compared to market rates. Third, rates on refinanced mortgages no longer deviated downward as significantly as they did in May and June. And fourth, the likely lower share of investment mortgages contributed to a further decline in the average amount of new mortgages.

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.

CBA Hypomonitor: A slight increase in the mortgage rate to 4.67% sustained solid activity in May

In May 2026, banks and building societies actually issued new mortgages (excluding refinancing) totaling CZK 38.1 billion.

CBA Hypomonitor: April also rewrote mortgage highs with still low rate of 4.52%

Average mortgage rate rises to 4.52%

Stronger wave of mortgage refixing, while the interest-rate shock eases. Higher inflation remains a risk.
Jaromír Šindel 13. 05. 2026

This year is bringing a strong wave of expiring mortgage rate fixations, while the shorter fixation periods agreed in recent years will further increase these volumes in the years ahead. Building on the central bank’s latest estimate that mortgage fixations worth an average of CZK 534 billion per year will expire between 2026 and 2028, we present alternative interest-rate shock scenarios depending on the path of mortgage rates. In 2027–2028, the negative interest-rate shock is expected to ease to 0.1–0.6 percentage points, down from 1.1–1.4 percentage points this year. However, we also outline a more adverse scenario involving a stronger interest-rate shock. This year, the negative interest-rate shock affecting expiring mortgage fixations from the low-rate period will amount to roughly 3.5% of the average household income of mortgage applicants, although across all households the average impact will be about half that level. In both cases, the expected real growth in wages and salaries should be sufficient to offset the shock.
