Saron mortgages are becoming too expensive for more and more homeowners. They managed to save a lot of money this way for years. But since the end of last year, they have been much worse off than those with fixed-rate mortgages. “Saron mortgage borrowers are now turning to fixed-rate mortgages for cost reasons,” finance expert Dirk Renkert (58) said in a statement by Comparis.
The interest rate on Saron mortgages generally adjusts to the money market every three months. It reflects the lending cost of commercial banks. Fixed-rate mortgages, on the other hand, have a fixed interest rate for a fixed term.

Fixed-rate mortgages have become significantly cheaper again since their peak of more than three percent in 2022. “For example, if a mortgage interest rate of 1.75 percent is paid on a five-year fixed-rate mortgage, Saron is not far from around 1.70 percent. “If the interest margin of around 60 to 70 basis points is added to this, the calculation is made quickly,” says Renkert. This means Saron mortgages have an interest rate of 2.3 to 2.4 percent.
Over the last three months, Saron mortgages’ share of deals handled by Comparis mortgage partner HypoPlus has fallen significantly. While approximately one quarter of mortgage borrowers preferred Saron mortgages in the first nine months of the year, this rate was only around one sixth in the last three months.
In contrast, the share of four- and five-year fixed-rate mortgages increased significantly. In the first nine months of the year, approximately one in five people preferred medium-term fixed-rate mortgage loans. This proportion has increased to nearly one-third of all transactions in the last three months. The rate on fixed-rate mortgages with ten-year and longer terms remained virtually unchanged at around 40 percent.
However, it is never possible to switch from a Saron mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage. Anyone who leaves the contract early must pay a fee.
The mortgagee should not accept the first offer he receives. Comparis compared the average differences between the reference rate and HypoPlus’ top interest rate for three-, five-, ten- and 15-year mortgages as of December 20 and identified significant savings potential. For example, in a best-case scenario, three-year fixed-rate mortgages might be available for 1.64 percent instead of the standard rate of 2.08 percent. In the ten-year term, the savings potential is up to 0.54 percentage points.
