Mortgage rate is the rate of interest charged on mortgage. Mortgage rate are determine by lender and can be either fixed, staying the same for the term of the mortgage, or variable, fluctuating with a benchmark interest rate. Lenders will tell you how much you are qualified to borrow – that is, how much they are willing to lend you.

Factors that influence the interest rate of mortgages
There are many factors that impact or influence the interest rate of mortgages. Lender will first consider the mortgage cost or the general cost of borrowing in the economy, which is based on the state of the economy and government monetary policy. Personal factors, such as credit history, income, and the type and size of the loan you are after, will then come into play to determine how much you’ll be charged to get a loan to buy a house.
Does mortgage rate affects house prices?
The recent hike in home loan interest rates by banks and housing finance companies – following an off-cycle repo rate hike by the RBI in May – has come at a time when the real estate sector has just started picking up momentum after a couple of years.
According to industry experts, a 1 per cent hike in housing loan interest rate reduces house purchase affordability by 7.4%.
“At a time when the real estate sector had just begun to pick up, the increase in home loan interest rates, even though negligible, would act as a psychological barrier for the buyers. Coupled with the increase in input costs that to an extent had forced developers to increase the prices of property, it would act as a dampener to the buyer’s spirit, especially the ones looking for homes in the affordable segment,” says Sanjay Sharma, Director, SKA Group.
Higher interest rates have forced the housing market into a “difficult correction” that should force it into balance after years of exuberant demand and limited supply and crushed demand for homes because buyers are now paying significantly more to get a mortgage on the same-priced home.
