Why Mortgage rates are increasing

With a rising interest rate environment, Singapore mortgage rates are set to increase this year.

“Mortgage advisors are expecting the 3-month compounded Singapore Overnight Rate Average, or Sora, which has hovered around 0.24 per cent to 0.25 per cent in the past month, to hit about 0.8 per cent by July and possibly cross 1 per cent before the end of 2022”

How increasing mortgage rates affect homeowners & property investors

• Need to cater for increased monthly instalments which affects cashflow
• More emergency funds need to be set aside for mortgage servicing in the event of job insecurity
• May reduce rental yield for investment properties
