The RBI’s continued reduction in the repo rate is a welcome move, especially in the backdrop of easing inflation and strong GDP growth. Lower borrowing costs provides a cushion to homebuyers against rising property prices thereby accelerating decision-making among fence-sitters.Developers, too, are responding to this evolving demand landscape. A noticeable increase in new launches within the INR 2–5 crore segment indicates strategic alignment with buyer preferences. This segment, in particular, stands to benefit significantly from the consistent reduction in home loan rates, which is likely to further support real estate momentum.Overall, the policy move is poised to give a strong fillip to volume-led sales across key geographies, reinforcing growth and confidence across the real estate ecosystem.
