Residential Mortgage Market Overview

Global Residential Mortgage Market reached US$ 11.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 26.5 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

The residential mortgage market is expected to be driven by a rise in government incentives and schemes for residential finance and benefits, as they address critical aspects of affordability, demand stimulation and financial accessibility. Furthermore, government intervention extends to tax benefits like those provided under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework. By standardizing taxes on under-construction properties and offering input tax credits to first-time homebuyers, these incentives directly enhance affordability, enticing more individuals to consider purchasing homes.

In countries like India, where homeownership is a vital aspiration, initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana play a pivotal role. PMAY's multifaceted approach encompasses interest subsidies, affordable housing projects and financial aid for construction, all of which significantly lower the financial burden on potential homebuyers. 

Also, the Federal Housing Administration in U.S. insures loans, allowing lenders to offer more favorable terms, lower down payments and reduced closing costs. The increased accessibility to credit encourages a diverse array of potential homebuyers to participate in the market, driving growth.

Asia-Pacific holds the largest regional share in the residential mortgage market driven by a confluence of factors that influence housing dynamics and economic interactions. Housing market dynamics in Asia-Pacific economies also exert considerable influence on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation. Housing-related items comprise a significant share of the CPI basket in many economies across the region, often exceeding the average for OECD countries.

Residential Mortgage Market Dynamics and Trends

Government Policies and Macroeconomic Measures

The residential mortgage market is expected to be driven by government policies and tax policies related to homeownership, such as mortgage interest deductions and property tax deductions, for the push toward home affordability for lower and middle-class people globally. The evolving nature of government policies in the residential mortgage market underscores their instrumental role in maintaining stability

Furthermore, after Global Financial Crisis prompted countries globally to equip themselves with macroprudential policy measures, an arsenal designed to mitigate risks and bolster financial resilience. The measures, ranging from loan-to-value ratio restrictions to debt service-to-income limits and capital-based tools, were strategically deployed in response to evolving risks, often focusing on the household sector.

Urbanization Boosts Residential Mortgage Demand for Growing Cities

The residential mortgage market is expected to be driven by growth in urbanization globally, with over half of the world's population residing in cities and this trend projected to intensify, the demand for housing is surging. According to world bank data, by 2050, urban population figures are expected to double, with nearly 7 out of 10 people living in urban areas. With this, there's a pressing need for affordable housing, infrastructure, services and jobs to accommodate the urban surge, particularly for the urban poor and those living in informal settlements.

Furthermore, as the global urban population is significantly growing, it subsequently increases the demand for housing in cities and urban centers. With limited available space and rising property values, many individuals and families are turning to residential mortgages to finance their homes. Shortages of affordable housing in high-demand markets are pushing individuals to explore homeownership options through mortgage financing in urban areas.

Inflation Spurs Mortgage Rate Hikes, Impacting Homebuying Costs

The residential mortgage market is restrained by ongoing inflation in different countries, according to rocket mortgage report in mid-April, a surge in the average interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages to 5% coincided with a substantial rise in U.S. inflation rate to 8.5% for the year ending March 2022. The elevation in inflation, the highest since 1981, indirectly impacts mortgage rates by eroding the purchasing power of U.S. dollar, thereby prompting price increases across the board, including mortgage rates.

Consequently, while inflation doesn't directly dictate mortgage rates, it can set off a chain reaction, diminishing demand for mortgage-backed bonds and resulting in higher interest rates across mortgage types and this dynamic leads to the overall cost of home loans rising, amplifying the expenses associated with buying a house, amidst a backdrop of increased housing prices and limited supply. While it's challenging to predict exact outcomes, the content suggests that mortgage rates are likely to continue climbing in response to the combination of inflation and other economic factors during the forecast period.

Economic sanctions and supply chain disruptions caused by the conflict impacted the prices of key commodities like aluminum and steel, which are essential components of the construction industry. The disruption of supply chains across the Black Sea region, where Russia and Ukraine play significant roles, has led to shortages and price hikes in building materials.
