Shiyan Xiangyang Mortgage Interest Rate
Down by about 40 basis points
Data show that in February, the mortgage interest rates of major banks in Shiyan were around LPR+103BP (5.63%) for the first home loan and LPR+128BP (5.88%) for the second home loan.
After this adjustment, the mortgage interest rate for the first home in Shiyan will be reduced by about 45 BP to LPR+58BP (5.18%); the mortgage interest rate for the second home will be reduced by 40 BP at the current level, that is, LPR+88BP (5.48%).

A relevant person in charge of a state-owned bank in Xiangyang said that the 5.28% first-home loan interest rate is the lowest level in the past four years.
On the one hand, it is because the bank's housing loan funds are relatively abundant, and on the other hand, the bank wants to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market by adjusting the housing loan policy.
The interest rate cut this time is a real positive for buyers who just need homes.
Taking the first home loan in Shiyan City as an example, a 30-year commercial loan of 1 million yuan is repaid according to the equal principal and interest. The monthly payment in February is 5759.72 yuan. Now you can enjoy 5.18% interest rate and the monthly payment is 5478.76 yuan. 281 yuan less than in February.

Yangzhou has a bank's first home loan interest rate "breaking 5"
Since the end of last year, the mortgage interest rate in Yangzhou has also shown a downward trend: in January this year, the interest rate for first home buyers dropped from about 5.5% at the end of last year to 5.35%, and in February it dropped to about 5.3%. In March, the mortgage interest rate in Yangzhou continued to decline.
According to a staff member of a major local state-owned bank, last week, the bank took the lead among the four major banks in lowering the interest rate for the first home to 5.0% and the second home to 5.2%.
At present, "5.0% for the first set and 5.2% for the second set" has become the mainstream of the mortgage interest rate of the major state-owned banks in Yangzhou.
Small and medium-sized banks in Yangzhou have lowered their mortgage rates even more aggressively.
The preferential interest rate offered by Yangzhou Branch of a city commercial bank to high-quality customers has dropped to 4.98%, the lowest level in recent years.
Property market stabilization is expected to accelerate
Since the beginning of this year, the property market policy has continued to warm up, releasing many positive signals.
Many cities across the country have successively lowered their personal housing loan interest rates, including first- and second-tier cities such as Guangzhou and Zhengzhou.
In addition, many cities have introduced favorable policies such as canceling the "housing and loan subscription", reducing the down payment ratio, increasing the loan amount of the provident fund, providing housing subsidies, and providing support for talents to purchase housing.
Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Centaline Real Estate, said that the core reason for the apparent downturn in this round of property market is the tightening of credit policies, including the backlog of queues caused by the tightening of mortgages for home purchases, and the plight of highly leveraged companies caused by the tightening of financing for developers.
In recent months, the credit policy has been significantly eased, the policy fundamentals have bottomed out, and various policies that are conducive to rigid demand and improve the real demand of home buyers continue to emerge.
At present, there are obvious signs of easing in the property market policies in many places.
Whether it is mortgage loans or corporate financing, there are easing policies. The credit market is expected to gradually release the backlog of housing loans after March, and achieve stable development. The property market in first- and second-tier cities is expected to pick up first.
If there is another RRR cut and interest rate cut recently, the market is expected to stabilize faster.
