He believes that demand for property is tempered by the cost of mortgage borrowing. With interest rates declining, Bernardos expects sales to pick up. 'There is a fundamental variable. People buy homes in response to mortgage costs, which have gone from rates of 6.25% in September to 3.25% today. We are talking, in general terms, of a fall in mortgage repayments of 40%,' he explained.
