He real estate accumulates data that suggest a some relaxation. Heeuriborin fact, It falls short in August about what was feared in July, after the last interest rate rise. While those responsible for the main Spanish financial institutions They expected levels between 4.10 and 4.15%the average price so far in August it settles in the 4,059%.

But there is one last arreón left. There is numerical modelsand not a few, who anticipate that the referential for loans will reach in september until the 4,20%. The most common range with which Spanish banks work establishes a floor of 4.15%for next month. And it is that, unlike August, September yes it has in the calendar committed dates for the Euribor.

The market assumes that the European Central Bank (ECB) will apply the latter – in all likelihood – interest rate rise for this cycle. others will become more expensive 25 basis points. That same pressure should be transferred to the euribor the days before or immediately after the decision of the european institution.

The statements of the toughest members of the BCEas the governor of the Dutch central bank, Klass Knotwhich cool the options that interest rates keep going up during the fall redundant with the messages of the moderate block. The governor of the Italian central bank, Ignatius Viscourges the caution to whom they assure that there will be increases until December.

So the state of mind –extremely important in the economy– and some redirected data from inflationalthough stubborn in the underlying section, allow to build forecasts who begin to draw the fall of the euribor. He interbank index will be depressed –from the highs of September– during the last quarter of the year to close 2023 between 3,75 and the 3,80%. As the incursion into 2024 progresses, and if the economic forecasts do not go awry, a Euribor at 3.50% (julio) y al 2,75% (December).

For example, the Euribor in December 2022 put together a stocking of 3,081% so the loans with annual review still they will become more expensive more (the best forecast is 3.75) this year.

December’s semi-annual reviews draw the opposite reverse. Those mortgaged will be the first to benefit from the new streak. And it is that, with the same projection of the 3,75%the monthly installments will become cheaper on -6,2% average. Their loans renewed conditions in June with the Euribor in the 4,00%.

It is likely that the revised mortgages last May also begin to notice a certain (and very shy) relief in your next tosemi-annual update, depending on how the intensity and speed of the Euribor drop is confirmed. In any case, the monthly payments will not return to the levels prior to the ssharp rise in interest rates. He Euribor floor would be reached at the beginning of 2025 and would be established between 2.5 and 2.75%.

That is, the resulting installments of the next renovations will be closer to the monthly payments of 2023 that of the 2021 and it is something that, according to the sources consulted, should already be counted on to organize the family economy of the coming months. In fact, the trends indicate that the Spanish react to preserve their economic integrity.

Was the further correction since January 2021, when the effects of the pandemic were collected.

Los flat priceshowever, go up -although already showing signs of slowdown- given that the bulk of operations are settled in the countryside thanks to 60,000 million extra that the Spanish saved during the months of confinement and restrictions. That moneyhowever, it has already been exhausted.

so the flats to buy deberán refinance for most operations. And maybe not all potential buyers think it’s time sign a mortgage.

This is how the prices of flats will evolve
