(EN) The question of what mortgage rate in Spain is more profitable, arises increasingly among those who plan to get a mortgage in Spain in 2020, especially in light of the fact that the index Euríbor for 12 months continues to decline and has already reached a historical minimum.
Euríbor went down sharply in March 2019, ending almost a year of rises, which brought it closer to 0%. The decline has been particularly marked in the past few weeks, bringing the Euríbor rate to a historic low.

(EN) According to many real estate market experts, the past year 2019 will go down in history as one of the most successful for the registration of mortgages in Spain. Increased consumer protection through a new mortgage law, which came into force in June last year, as well as a continuous reduction in the cost of borrowing from banks in connection with the beginning of the so-called "war of prices" have created ideal conditions for buying property in the mortgage - conditions that are unlikely to repeat soon.
The average interest rate on mortgage loans in 2019, according to October 2019, was 2.5% (2.17% - with differentiated payments, 3.02% - with a fixed rate). The average term of the mortgage loan was equal to 24 years.
However, the situation is beginning to change: after a long period of declining prices, some banks have decided to change the strategy. Thus, Bankia, Sabadell, BBVA, Abanca, Bankinter, Openbank, Liberbank and ING plan to raise the cost of fixed mortgage plans and some mortgages with differentiated payments.
