Millions of citizens who want to become homeowners are closely following interest rates. Mortgage interest rates, which were at the 2.74-2.75 percent level last week, have fallen to 2.68 percent in a short time.
So, why are interest rates falling? Did this decline occur due to the expectation that the Central Bank will cut interest rates?
ALL EYES ON THE CENTRAL BANK'S INTEREST RATE DECISION
Real Estate Expert Mustafa Hakan Özelmacıklı made the following assessment regarding the activity in interest rates:
An interest rate cut is expected at the Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee meeting on March 6.
The recent decline in inflation data increases the possibility of the Central Bank lowering the policy rate.
Banks are trying to provide loans with competitive interest rates, anticipating that long-term loan costs will fall further in the coming period.
AN UNPRECEDENTED INTEREST RATE
The interest rate, which has dropped to the 2.68 percent level for a 60-month term in mortgages, is cited as one of the lowest levels in recent times.
Özelmacıklı said, "This rate is a level we have not seen before. If the Central Bank proceeds with an interest rate cut, we may see further declines in loans."
BANKS ARE COMPETING TO PROVIDE LOANS
Banks have entered into competition to provide more loans by turning the decline in interest rates into an opportunity.
It is believed that borrowing costs for long-term mortgages will decrease further in the coming period.
For this reason, banks are trying to attract more customers by offering loans with low interest rates.
WILL MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES FALL FURTHER?
According to experts, the downward trend in interest rates will continue, but a rapid decline is not expected.
The current decline is a limited drop from 2.74 percent to 2.68 percent.
It is predicted that interest rates could fall below 2 percent by the end of the year.
HOW MUCH IS THE REPAYMENT FOR 2 MILLION TL?
A citizen who takes out a 2 million TL mortgage at today's lowest interest rate of 2.68 percent makes a monthly payment of 67,385 TL for a 60-month term.
Compared to previous interest rates, there has been a significant decrease in installments.
2-3 months ago, loan interest rates were at the 3.05 percent level.
At that time, a person who took out a 2 million TL mortgage was paying a monthly installment of 73,041 TL.
Today, the installment for a loan taken at a rate of 2.68 percent is 67,385 TL.
In other words, citizens are paying 5,656 TL less each month.
An advantage of 339,360 TL is provided in total over 60 months.
RENT INCREASES ARE DIRECTING CITIZENS TO BUY HOMES
The rapid rise in rent prices in recent times is directing citizens toward purchasing homes.
Currently, rent increase rates are at the 53 percent level.
A person paying 20,000 TL in rent faces a rent exceeding 30,000 TL after the increase.
Experts state that citizens have started to prefer paying loan installments instead of rent.
INTEREST RATES MAY FALL FURTHER
According to Özelmacıklı, mortgage interest rates could fall below 2 percent by the end of the year.
Citizens who take out loans can gain an advantage by restructuring their loans when interest rates fall in the future.
Emlak Konut campaigns and state-supported projects are also expected to revitalize the market.
