Interest rates come into play everywhere – just think of home loans, fixed income or savings. Their level is modelled on the key lending rate, which is set by the European Central Bank (ECB).

The Key Lending Rate

Compared to other countries, private German households show a higher-than-average savings ratio.

German Savings Ratio Is High, Homeownership Rate Remains Very Low

There was every reason to expect demand for private construction finance to take a nosedive at the height of the corona virus crisis. What actually happened, however, is the exact opposite...

Rising Demand for Real Estate Loans

Political and public debates keep circling back to the subject of major housing companies and their behaviour, and this even though these companies own merely a small fraction of the rental flats in Germany.

Private Owners the Leading Group of Landlords in Germany

Due to the low-interest policy pursued by central banks at the moment, interest rates have been in more or less steady decline over the past years.

Insiders Expect Level of Mortgage Lending Rates to Remain Stable

Although everyone assumed for the longest time that the European Central Bank (ECB) would start raising their lending rates no later than 2020...

Will Interest Rates Maintain their Low Level for Decades Yet?

As recently as last year, it was generally assumed that interest on mortgage loans had long bottomed out and would inevitably rise in the short-, medium- or long-term. Now, at the start of summer 2019, an entirely different situation presents itself.

Building Finance Rates Have Never been Lower

In late 2018, an interest rate reversal seemed to loom on the horizon—many analysts agreed that rates would start climbing again in 2019.

Unexpected Drop in Building Finance Rates

Germany’s new government has set itself the goal to support families in the acquisition or construction of family homes, and thereby to boost homeownership in general.
