The first months of 2022 point to a sustained turnaround in interest rates for construction financing. While interest rate increases were observed last year, which were usually followed by declines, it has become apparent since the beginning of the year that interest rates for construction financing are now moving upwards on a sustained basis. While the Zinsvergleich Zins-Kommentar forecast last year still assumed stagnating construction financing interest rates at a very low level, there are now clear signs of an interest rate turnaround on the construction financing market. Many builders are therefore trying to secure the current interest rate level still quickly. The Federal Reserve has already completed the turnaround in interest rates in mid-March, raising the key interest rate in the U.S. for the first time since 2018. The European Central Bank is already hinting that an increase in key interest rates is also imminent in Europe.
