Mortgages will cost more than 600 euros a year for every 100,000 euros borrowed

According to ASUFIN, the euro will be 3.2% in September and will make mortgages at variable rates more expensive.

FOTODELDÍA SAN SEBASTIÁN, 10/11/2025.- Vista del escaparate de una inmobiliaria en San Sebastián este lunes, en el que según los datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) el importe medio de una hipoteca para la compra de vivienda ha pasado en una década, entre agosto de 2015 y el mismo mes de este año, un incremento del 45 %. En este periodo el importe medio de la hipoteca ha pasado en el conjunto de España de algo más de 100.000 euros a cerca de 170.000, lo que supone casi el 63 %, un porcentaje que en algunas comunidades autónomas, como Madrid y Andalucía, se ha disparado por encima del 70 %.

Variable-rate mortgages could rise significantly if expectations of the Eurybor's evolution are met, according to estimates by the Financial Users Association (ASUFIN), which estimates that the Eurybor could close at 3.2% in Septemberfollowing the European Central Bank (ECB) 's decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points.

The increase would have adirect impact on mortgage fees reviewed on the basis of the Eurybor. According to ASUFIN, a mortgage of 100,000 euros, contracted for 25 years, would go from paying more than 483 euros to almost 539 euros per month.

This would mean an additional EUR 55 per month, or EUR 668 per year.

A loan of EUR 100 000 for 30 years would increase the quota from almost EUR 431 to EUR 489 per month, with an increase of around EUR 58 per month and almost EUR 700 per year.

4.20% interest rate from

ASUFIN has taken into account the 4.20% interest rate in its calculations, which it estimates will reach 3.2% in September and an additional 1% differential.

It compares the estimate to the September 2025 Eurybor, when it was 2.172% , in which case it also adds a 1% differential.

ASUFIN recalls that most variable-rate mortgages are reviewed every six or twelve months, depending on the evolution of theEuribor, so the increase in the index is reflected in the quota in the next review, although the exact impact depends on the conditions of each loan. 

Recommendations for lowering the quota

One option is to renegotiate the terms of the mortgage with the bank in order to avoid an increase in monthly payments, and to request subrogation in the transfer of the loan to another bank, or to change the mortgage at variable rates to fixed or mixed rates.

Another option is to repaythe mortgage in advance in order to reduce the capital owed, while extending the term of the loan may reduce the monthly fee, but it means paying interest for longer, thereby increasing the total cost of the mortgage.

ASUFIN recommends comparing these options, as depending on the characteristics of each loan, the economic conditions and effects may be different.
