“The residential real estate industry benefits from the RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate at 5.25% since it promotes a steady and predictable borrowing environment. For creditworthy homeowners, financing conditions remain appealing because some lenders offer home loans at rates as low as about 7.25%. Stable borrowing prices, developer incentives, flexible payment plans, and competitive pricing could boost buyer sentiment and promote purchasing decisions as the holiday season draws near. Because ready-to-move-in and near-completion properties offer more assurance regarding delivery and the possibility of long-term value appreciation, the atmosphere is especially favorable for individuals contemplating such properties”

“The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% reinforces a stable and predictable borrowing environment, which is positive for the residential real estate sector. With select lenders offering home loans at rates starting at approximately 7.25%, financing conditions remain attractive for creditworthy homebuyers. As the festive season approaches, stable borrowing costs, combined with developer incentives, flexible payment plans and competitive pricing, could strengthen buyer sentiment and encourage purchase decisions. The environment is particularly favourable for those considering ready-to-move-in and near-completion properties, which offer greater certainty around delivery and the potential for long-term value appreciation.”
