European mortgage markets have performed exceptionally well in recent years,
and this solid performance continued in 2005. Rapid house price growth, high
demand for housing and increased competition have pushed mortgage markets
onwards. But can we expect the boom times to continue and, if they do, which
markets will benefit?

Report Highlights
While an increasingly consolidated market, a large number of smaller lenders
still play a significant role in the Spanish mortgage market, with the top
five players accounting for 49.3 per cent of balances outstanding in 2004.
The entry of Greece into the EMU had a major impact on interest rates, which
used to be in the two digits range. Between 1995 and 2004, real interest rates
declined by 800 basis points.
In common with most of Western Europe, Italy has experienced continued growth
in the level of balances outstanding of mortgage loans. Between 2001 and 2005
balances outstanding increased at a CAGR of 17.7 per cent.
