What's the interest rate for the last 30 years

When considering the interest rates for home loans in Singapore over the last 30 years, it's important to note that these rates have been influenced by various economic factors and benchmark rates.

Historically, home loan interest rates in Singapore were often tied to the Singapore Inter-bank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and the Singapore Dollar Swap Offer Rate (SOR), but these have been phased out. As of recent years, the Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) has become the new benchmark for floating rate home loans.

Here’s a general overview of the trends:

- Fixed Rates: These rates have varied over the years but typically remain fixed for the initial few years of the loan, usually up to 2-5 years. For example, current fixed rates can be as low as 2.40% to 2.50% for the first few years.
- Floating Rates: These rates are now largely based on SORA. As of late 2024, the 3-month SORA rate was around 3.49%, and home loan rates were typically quoted as a spread over this rate, such as 3M SORA + 0.50% to 0.80%.

For a detailed historical trend of interest rates, it's best to refer to resources that track the SORA and previous benchmark rates over the years. This will give you a clearer picture of how interest rates have fluctuated in response to economic conditions.
