New Delhi, February 15, 2022: The continued intervention by RBI and holding on to the rates has helped in demand generation in the real estate sector. Economic growth needs to be supported through monetary policy and this is the foremost reason that the RBI has continued its accommodative stance which has invoked a sense of optimism. This works well for all home loan borrowers as the environment of affordability will continue and will not harden anytime soon.

The continuation of the low home-loan interest rate regime is bound to instill more confidence in the home buyers and support the ongoing market and economic recovery which has been promising in the recent past. This should augur well for home buying sentiment as it is quite clear that increasing interest rates would impact overall demand at a time when the government is keen to boost consumption. The green shoots of economic revival coupled with the prevailing low-interest rates will continue to be conducive for the residential sector. We also hope that the government looks into specific measures to support developers and continue to boost residential real estate uptake in the upcoming months.
