Mortgages becoming increasingly expensive at the rhythm of Euribor

The Spanish mortgage market is experiencing a change in cycle due to rising interest rates in the euro zone and the surge in the euribor rate. This has led to an increase in mortgage prices, which, combined with high housing prices in Spain, is slowing down mortgage activity. In July, the number of new mortgages fell by the largest amount in 25 months, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE).

The average mortgage interest rate rose to 3.01% in July, and experts warn that fixed-rate mortgages may become more expensive by the end of the year.
