Several times. It depends on the mortgage rate, of course, but the equal amounts of money will be only around 8%... and if that happens to mortgages, bank rates will go higher too.
Now, this does not account for inflation, of course... but you do not have to keep your money in a bank either - you could invest it instead, and get a much much better return.
