Further reading: notes for Italian immigrants to buy a house with a loan

First, house prices and mortgages have never been so low.

Loan: The loan interest rate war has started again, especially for those who want to buy a house or rent a house. Since the beginning of this year, fixed financial assets have dropped by one percentage point, with a fluctuation range of 0.5%, leading to the lowest point in history. Therefore, the most cost-effective mortgage at present should be the one with a term of 20 years. If you can pay at least half of the house price in cash, the interest rate is slightly higher than 2%, depending on the policies of major banks.

As the euro interest rate is negative, it may hit 1.2%. For those who have no or little cash on hand, the interest rate may be higher. According to the price list provided by a portal website cooperating with Jiji.com, after calculation, it is more cost-effective to borrow120,000 euros for a house of 200,000 euros. For a fixed interest rate, it is the most cost-effective loan, with a loan term of 20 years, a nominal interest rate of 2.6% and a real interest rate of 2.85%.

If the monthly repayment is fixed at 642 euros, the floating interest rate will be reduced to 1.3 1% of the global real annual interest rate (TAEG), and the actual repayment will be 565 euros. If the loan term is 30 years, choose 1.48% Taeg, and the down payment is 4 1 1 Euro. For people with a fixed term, the interest rate is the same as the interest rate of the loan for 20 years (that is, 480 euros per month).

Second, the strength of buying real estate

Mortgage is at a low level, and the price of real estate is falling less and less. It won't be long before it falls again, and the whole industry is recovering. Therefore, people who want to buy a house should seize the opportunity now, which is the most favorable moment for mortgage conditions in recent years. We tried to analyze the possibility of buying a house according to the mortgage market comparison five years ago or 10 years ago.

In addition to the adjustment of housing prices and interest rates, we have also determined two indicators: the first is the loan ability, which determines who can buy a big house today and how much money can be repaid every month; Secondly, a person who borrows half of the house price will spend sustainable money to buy a house in the next 20 years. Let's make a comparison. If there is a family of three who need to repay the loan every month 1500 euros, 1000 euros, 500 euros, then the geographical location of the house they choose may be 100 meters away from the city center, 80 meters in the general residential area and 50 meters in the suburbs. The fixed interest rate of mortgage is 2.5%.

Third, what lot of real estate do you choose?

If he repays 65,438+0,500 euros a month, and the total value of a 20-year mortgage is 283,000 euros, then he can buy a house of about 66 square meters in the center of some big cities. This means an increase of 33% compared with 10 years ago and 39% compared with 20 10 years ago. In a city like Milan or Rome, the most expensive room type is 42 to 44 square meters. If the monthly loan is 1000 euros, then the whole mortgage value is 189000 euros.

All these analysis and comparison based on consumption show that if you borrow 50% to buy a house, all the expenses will actually be reduced by 16% compared with ten years ago and by 2 1% compared with five years ago. In ordinary residential areas, this decline is 265, 438+0% and 28% respectively, while in suburbs it is 24% and 30%.

4. Who can shorten the debt maturity?

For this calculation, we assume that the term of a loan is 20 years and the term of a loan is 10 years. The situation is like a small battle. The fixed interest rate has been reduced to 1.75%, while the corresponding interest rate of UniCredit Bank is 1.5%. That's not all. The fixed interest rate can be used to buy a house with a loan of up to 50%, but it is not a problem for a powerful customer, because whoever can apply for a short-term mortgage must have carefully calculated according to his savings income.

If you don't borrow 50%, the interest rate will go up immediately.

The latest observation data shows that all mortgage applications with Ltv below 50% (LTV is the abbreviation of loan percentage). Refers to the coverage of loans relative to the mortgage value of real estate) has accounted for 38.5% of the total, while the application of Ltv of 60 and 80 has reached 54.8%. However, in the application of Ltv 50, the interest rate changes rapidly and the range is not small.

For example, if a person wants to apply for a 20-year loan with a total term of140,000 euros in order to buy a house worth 280,000 euros, he will pay back 769 euros on average every month. Based on the interest rate of 2.9%, the bank loan quotation should be 2.2%, and the monthly repayment is 72 1 euro. The same money can buy a house worth 200,000 euros (coverage rate is 70%), then the average monthly loan repayment will rise to 804 euros, and the corresponding interest rate is 3.39%. On this basis, I want to find a cheap mortgage with an interest rate of 2.6% (749 euros per month).

The guarantee trap of intransitive verbs

The last thing to say is security. It is worth mentioning that if your monthly income does not exceed the safe lower limit, and no one is willing to act as a guarantor by default, then the higher the loan amount, the higher the value of the collateral required, and the greater the possibility of rejection. In this case, the difference between floating interest rates is not very big. If you buy a property with a total amount of 200,000 euros and apply for a mortgage with a total amount of 654,380,400 euros, the average monthly cost is 676 euros and the interest rate is 65,438+0.51%. However, if the loan guarantees a property worth 300,000 euros, the monthly fee will rise to 696 euros (the interest rate is 1.8 1%).
