Homeowners, who relaxed a little at the beginning of the year, now have to dig deeper into their pockets for housing loans. That says the mortgage index from mortgage comparison platform Moneyland. “Fixed rate mortgages have been rising again for a good month and are no longer far from their October 2022 high,” Moneyland mortgage specialist Felix Oeschger said on Tuesday.
At 2.95 percent for a five-year fixed-rate mortgage and 3.08 percent for a ten-year fixed-rate mortgage, Moneyland’s mortgage index is currently at its highest level this year. According to Moneyland, the peak has not yet been reached. “I assume that Swiss fixed-rate mortgage rates will exceed 2022 peaks this year,” Oeschger says.
The reason for this assumption is that the inflation figures for February announced on Monday were surprisingly higher than expected at 3.4 percent. This means that the Swiss National Bank SNB could raise its key interest rate this year more sharply than experts had previously expected. This in turn will lead to more expensive mortgage interest rates. (SDA)
