Mortgage rates surged at an unprecedented pace in 2022, with the average 10-year fixed rate doubling between March and December of that year. In response to mounting inflation, the Bank of England implemented a series of rate hikes, pushing borrowing costs steadily higher. By October 2025, the average 10-year fixed mortgage rate stood at **** percent. As financing becomes more expensive, housing demand has cooled, weighing on market sentiment and slowing house price growth. How have the mortgage hikes affected the market? After surging in 2021, the number of residential properties sold fell significantly in 2023, dipping to just above *** million transactions. This contraction in activity also dampened mortgage lending. Between the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, the value of new mortgage loans declined year-on-year for five consecutive quarters. Even as rates eased modestly in 2024 and housing activity picked up slightly, volumes remained well below the highs recorded in 2021. How are higher mortgages impacting homebuyers? For homeowners, the impact is being felt most acutely as fixed-rate deals expire. Mortgage terms in the UK typically range from two to ten years, and many borrowers who locked in historically low rates are now facing significantly higher repayments when refinancing. By the end of 2026, an estimated five million homeowners will see their mortgage deals expire. Roughly two million of these loans are projected to experience a monthly payment increase of up to *** British pounds by 2026, putting additional pressure on household budgets and constraining affordability across the market.

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains historical prime rates from 1956 to present, as well as significant events that may have affected the prime lending rate. With this data, you can analyze changes in the average majority prime rate charged by banks and any events that may have contributed to this change.

To get started with this dataset, you'll want to make sure you understand the columns it contains: Year: This is the year of the data point. (Integer)
Average Majority Prime Rate Charged By Banks: This is average prime rate charged by banks in the majority of he year for a given time period. (Float)
Significant Events: Significant events that may have impacted or shifted the Prime Lending Rate during a certain period or throughout history. (String)

You can then use this information to begin exploring and comparing periods where there were drastic shifts inside of one year within this data set as it provides an overall view intoprime lending during these different times periods along with what plausible external or internal factors could’ve caused them. To do so, you can use descriptive statistics such a means and medians, along with graphing tools such as line charts and scatter plots to observe any correlations between fluctuations inPrime Lending Rates and Significant Events taking place concurrently at different points in time throughout history over six decades §§ when both economic states seem prosperous or abysmal for comparison purposes so we can identify driving forces behind certain trends inside our data set

Research Ideas

• Create a timeline visualization of major prime rate events in the US to show the influence of various political and economic factors on interest rates.
• Superimpose this data over monthly trends of mortgage and auto loan interest rates to illustrate the impact that movements in the prime lending rate have on consumer borrowing.
• Determine which banks currently offer loans with the lowest prime rates, by tracking historic trends against current market conditions for lenders

DESCRIPTION

A banking institution requires actionable insights into mortgage-backed securities, geographic business investment, and real estate analysis. The mortgage bank would like to identify potential monthly mortgage expenses for each region based on monthly family income and rental of the real estate. A statistical model needs to be created to predict the potential demand in dollars amount of loan for each of the region in the USA. Also, there is a need to create a dashboard which would refresh periodically post data retrieval from the agencies. The dashboard must demonstrate relationships and trends for the key metrics as follows: number of loans, average rental income, monthly mortgage and owner’s cost, family income vs mortgage cost comparison across different regions. The metrics described here do not limit the dashboard to these few. Dataset Description

Variables

Description Second mortgage Households with a second mortgage statistics Home equity Households with a home equity loan statistics Debt Households with any type of debt statistics Mortgage Costs Statistics regarding mortgage payments, home equity loans, utilities, and property taxes Home Owner Costs Sum of utilities, and property taxes statistics Gross Rent Contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utility features High school Graduation High school graduation statistics Population Demographics Population demographics statistics Age Demographics Age demographic statistics Household Income Total income of people residing in the household Family Income Total income of people related to the householder Project Task: Week 1

Data Import and Preparation:

Import data.

Figure out the primary key and look for the requirement of indexing.

Gauge the fill rate of the variables and devise plans for missing value treatment. Please explain explicitly the reason for the treatment chosen for each variable.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):

Perform debt analysis. You may take the following steps:

Explore the top 2,500 locations where the percentage of households with a second mortgage is the highest and percent ownership is above 10 percent. Visualize using geo-map. You may keep the upper limit for the percent of households with a second mortgage to 50 percent

Use the following bad debt equation:

Bad Debt = P (Second Mortgage ∩ Home Equity Loan) Bad Debt = second_mortgage + home_equity - home_equity_second_mortgage Create pie charts to show overall debt and bad debt

Create Box and whisker plot and analyze the distribution for 2nd mortgage, home equity, good debt, and bad debt for different cities

Create a collated income distribution chart for family income, house hold income, and remaining income

Perform EDA and come out with insights into population density and age. You may have to derive new fields (make sure to weight averages for accurate measurements):

Use pop and ALand variables to create a new field called population density

Use male_age_median, female_age_median, male_pop, and female_pop to create a new field called median age

Visualize the findings using appropriate chart type

Create bins for population into a new variable by selecting appropriate class interval so that the number of categories don’t exceed 5 for the ease of analysis.

Analyze the married, separated, and divorced population for these population brackets

Visualize using appropriate chart type

Please detail your observations for rent as a percentage of income at an overall level, and for different states.

Perform correlation analysis for all the relevant variables by creating a heatmap. Describe your findings.

Project Task: Week 2

Data Pre-processing:

The economic multivariate data has a significant number of measured variables. The goal is to find where the measured variables depend on a number of smaller unobserved common factors or latent variables.

Each variable is assumed to be dependent upon a linear combination of the common factors, and the coefficients are known as loadings. Each measured variable also includes a component due to independent random variability, known as “specific variance” because it is specific to one variable. Obtain the common factors and then plot the loadings. Use factor analysis to find latent variables in our dataset and gain insight into the linear relationships in the data.

  Following are the list of latent variables:

Highschool graduation rates

Median population age

Second mortgage statistics

Percent own

Bad debt expense

Data Modeling :

Build a linear Regression model to predict the total monthly expenditure for home mortgages loan.

  Please refer deplotment_RE.xlsx. Column hc_mortgage_mean is predicted variable. This is the mean monthly mortgage and owner costs of specified geographical location.

  Note: Exclude loans from prediction model which have NaN (Not a Numb...

Mortgage Rate in Australia decreased to 5.51 percent in September from 5.52 percent in August of 2025. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Australia Mortgage Rate.

Rates have been trending downward in Canada for the last five years. The ebbs and flows are caused by changes in Canada’s bond yields (driven by Canadians economic developments and international rate movements, particularly U.S. rate fluctuations) and the overnight rate (which is set by the Bank of Canada). As of August 2022, there has been a 225 bps increase in the prime rate, since beginning of year 2022, from 2.45% to 4.70% as of Aug 24th 2022. The following are the historical conventional mortgage rates offered by the 6 major chartered banks in Canada in the past 20 years.

Graph and download economic data for Bank Prime Loan Rate Changes: Historical Dates of Changes and Rates (PRIME) from 1955-08-04 to 2025-10-30 about prime, loans, interest rate, banks, depository institutions, interest, rate, and USA.

The U.S. federal funds effective rate underwent a dramatic reduction in early 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rate plummeted from 1.58 percent in February 2020 to 0.65 percent in March and further decreased to 0.05 percent in April. This sharp reduction, accompanied by the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program, was implemented to stabilize the economy during the global health crisis. After maintaining historically low rates for nearly two years, the Federal Reserve began a series of rate hikes in early 2022, with the rate moving from 0.33 percent in April 2022 to 5.33 percent in August 2023. The rate remained unchanged for over a year before the Federal Reserve initiated its first rate cut in nearly three years in September 2024, bringing the rate to 5.13 percent. By December 2024, the rate was cut to 4.48 percent, signaling a shift in monetary policy in the second half of 2024. In January 2025, the Federal Reserve implemented another cut, setting the rate at 4.33 percent, which remained unchanged until September 2025, when another cut set the rate at 4.22 percent. In October 2025, the rate was further reduced to 4.09 percent. What is the federal funds effective rate? The U.S. federal funds effective rate determines the interest rate paid by depository institutions, such as banks and credit unions, that lend reserve balances to other depository institutions overnight. Changing the effective rate in times of crisis is a common way to stimulate the economy, as it has a significant impact on the whole economy, such as economic growth, employment, and inflation. Central bank policy rates The adjustment of interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a coordinated global effort. In early 2020, central banks worldwide implemented aggressive monetary easing policies to combat the economic crisis. The U.S. Federal Reserve's dramatic reduction of its federal funds rate—from 1.58 percent in February 2020 to 0.05 percent by April—mirrored similar actions taken by central banks globally. While these low rates remained in place throughout 2021, mounting inflationary pressures led to a synchronized tightening cycle beginning in 2022, with central banks pushing rates to multi-year highs. By mid-2024, as inflation moderated across major economies, central banks began implementing their first rate cuts in several years, with the U.S. Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and European Central Bank all easing monetary policy.

Rental Affordability Analysis Based on Median Income

Trends in Tier-Based Affordability Across the U.S

By Zillow Data [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains rental affordability data for different regions in the US, giving valuable insights into regional rental markets. Renters can use this information to identify where their budget will go the farthest. The cities are organized by rent tier in order to analyze affordability trends within and between different housing stock types. Within each region, the data includes median household income, Zillow Rent Index (ZRI), and percent of income spent on rent.

The Zillow Home Value Forecast (ZHVF) is used to calculate future combined mortgage pay/rent payments in each region using current median home prices, actual outstanding debt amounts and 30-year fixed mortgage interest rates reported through partnership with TransUnion credit bureau. Zillow also provides a breakdown of cash vs financing purchases for buyers looking for an investment or cash option solution.

This dataset provides an effective tool for consumers who want to better understand how their budget fits into diverse rental markets across the US; from condominiums and co-ops, multifamily residences with five or more units, duplexes and triplexes - every renter can determine how their housing budget should be adjusted as they consider multiple living possibilities throughout the country based on real-time price data!

How to use the dataset

Introduction

Getting Started

• First, you'll need to download the TieredAffordability_Rental.csv dataset from this Kaggle page onto your computer or device.

• After downloading the data set onto your device, open it with any CSV viewing software of your choice (ex: Excel). It will include columns for RegionName**RegionName** , homes type/housing stock (All Homes or Condo/Co-op) SizeRank , Rent tier tier , Date date , median household income income , Zillow Rent Index zri and PercentIncomeSpentOnRent percentage (what portion of monthly median house-hold goes toward monthly mortgage payment) .

• To begin analyzing rental prices across different regions using this dataset, look first at column four: SizeRank; which ranks each region based on size - smallest regions listed first and largest at last - so that you can compare a similar range of Regions when looking at affordability by home sizes larger than one unit multiplex dwellings.*Duples/Triplex*. Once there is an understanding of how all homes compare overall now it is time to consider home types Multifamily 5+ units according to rent tiers tier .

• Next, choose one or more region(s) for comparison based on their rank in SizeRank column –so that all information gathered about them reflects what portionof households fall into certain categories ; eg; All Homes / Small Home /Large Home / MultiPlex Dwelling and what tier does each size rank falls into eg.: Affordable/Slightly Expensive/ Moderately Expensive etc.. This will enable further abstraction from other elements like date vs inflation rate per month or periodical intervals set herein by Rate segmentation i e dates givenin ‘Date’Columns – making the task easier and more direct while analyzing renatalAffordibility Analysis Based On Median Income zri 00 zwi & PCISOR 00 PCIRO

Research Ideas

• Use the PercentIncomeSpentOnRent column to compare rental affordability between regions within a particular tier and determine optimal rent tiers for relocating families.
• Analyze how market conditions are affecting rental affordability over time by using the income, zri, and PercentageIncomeSpentOnRent columns.
• Identify trends in housing prices for different tiers over the years by comparing SizeRank data with Zillow Home Value Forecast (ZHVF) numbers across different regions in order to identify locations that may be headed up or down in terms of home values (and therefore rent levels)

The benchmark interest rate in Japan was last recorded at 0.50 percent. This dataset provides - Japan Interest Rate - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

Car loan interest rates in the United States decreased since mid-2024. Thus, the period of rapidly rising interest rates, when they increased from 3.85 percent in December 2021 to 7.92 percent in June 2024, has come to an end. The Federal Reserve interest rate is one of the main causes of the interest rates of loans rising or falling. If inflation stays under control, the Federal Reserve will start cutting the interest rates, which would have the effect of the cost of car loans falling too. How many cars have financing in the United States? Car financing exists because not everyone who wants or needs a car can purchase it outright. A financial institution will then lend the money to the customer for purchasing the car, which must then be repaid with interest. Most new vehicles in the United States in 2024 were purchased using car loans. It is not as common to use car loans for purchasing used vehicles as for new ones, although over a third of used vehicles were purchased using loans. The car industry in the United States The car financing business is huge in the United States, due to the high sales of both new and used vehicles in the country. A lot of the United States is very car-centric, which means that, outside large cities, it can often be difficult to do their daily commutes through other transportation methods. In fact, only a small percentage of U.S. workers used public transport to go to work. That is one of the factors that has helped establish the importance of the automotive sector in North America. Nevertheless, there are still countries in Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe with higher car-ownership rates than the United States.
