European Mortgage Market Quarterly Review - Q2 2023
Europe’s mortgage and housing markets continued to cool down in the second quarter of 2023. The general downward trend, observed already since the third quarter of 2022, slowed down significantly in Q2 2023, and indicated the arrival of the trough in the slowdown of mortgage lending. While the quarterly decline of gross lending in Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 still amounted to 18.8% and 17.9% respectively, the decrease in Q2 2023 amounted to only 2.2%. Markets were still influenced by generally high inflation rates, which led to a further contraction in the construction sector, while demand for housing remained tight.

For the whole year 2022, euro area GDP increased by 3.5% compared to 2021 values (5.3% in 2021), as did the EU27 aggregated GDP (5.4% in 2021). Inflation has been a persistent element in Europe and comparatively high, yet the expansion of consumer prices seems to have slowed during the fourth quarter. By the end of December 2022, the annual inflation rate in the euro area was 9.2%, after a 10.1% inflation rate one month prior. By comparison, euro area inflation in December 2021 was 5%.
