Nationalbanken: Sådan er boligejernes konverteringsadfærd ved rentestigninger. I et memo med overskriften ”Refinancing behaviour by homeowners in Denmark when mortgage rates rise” skriver Nationalbanken, at ”62 per cent of the realised net wealth gain has been used to reduce mortgage and bank debt, while 38 per cent was cashed out. The cash-out share is higher for borrowers with lower levels of wealth, indicating that cash outs may be used to support consumption now or as precautionary savings. Four in ten refinancers switched from fixed to adjustable-rate mortgages. When combined with cashing out, homeowners become more sensitive to adverse developments in interest rates and house prices. Nonetheless, most refinancers remain robust even in severe scenarios.
