His impact on quotas will be moderate those who pay off their mortgage, especially in the first months, and will hardly be noticed V new mortgages sign because, despite the reduction in interest rates, the price of money is still very high – 4.25%.

For those considering taking out a mortgage, the changes the ECB’s decision could cause are “very minor, if any at all,” he says. Simone Colombelli, director of Hipotecas iAhorro. It’s because banks anticipated this movement supervisor and several months ago lowered interest rates on its mortgages. Thus, “We don’t expect to see a general decline in offers, just some specific offers from those furthest behind.“,” Colombelli points out.

“You can easily get a fixed mortgage at rates below 3% with few connections,” he says. Mikel Riera, HelpMyCash mortgage analyst. Something similar happens with a mixed mortgage, because the bank began to reduce the fixed interest rate corresponding to the first years of the term.

Experts believe that Euribor will remain stable and will not decline significantly until there is a consistent reduction in interest rates by the custodian of the euro. This is what he admits Pedro del Pozofrom Mutualidad, in his opinion, Euribor “will show the consequences of the ECB’s normalization when there are consistent rate cuts.”

He explains that the index has already clearly reflected market expectations of ECB rate cuts today, so “it should not have a significant impact on mortgage terms for small consumers.”

Analysts believe the drop is due to the fact that the European Bank’s Governing Council will continue to cut interest rates until the end of the year if inflation falls.

They wait between two and three more descents, which could end the year with the price of money at 3.75%. In this case, current and future mortgage holders will see both installment and new mortgages become cheaper, which Simone Colombelli believes will make 2025 will be a “good year to get a mortgage.”
