The Impact of Repo Rate on Festive Demand of Real Estate
Diwali, a time of celebration and joy, often ushers in a period of increased demand in various sectors. This also reflects on real estate. Often, prospective homeowners choose the festive season to lock their dream property, and this is supported by the numerous offers that developers put out. However, one often overlooked influencer in the market during this season is also the repo rate.
In this blog, let’s explore how the repo rate, a vital component of monetary policy, can significantly boost the festive demand for real estate.
What is the Repo Rate?
The repo rate, set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), is the interest rate at which commercial banks borrow money from the central bank. It plays a pivotal role in influencing the broader interest rate environment, impacting loans, investments, and the real estate market. During the festive season, its influence becomes all the more pronounced.
Low Repo Rates and Affordable Loans
A low repo rate stimulates the real estate market and makes housing loans more affordable. It results in lower lending rates offered by banks, which, in turn, reduces the cost of borrowing for homebuyers. This attractive lending environment is a powerful motivator for potential home purchasers.
Repo Rate and Festivities
The availability of cost-effective loans enhances consumer confidence. Individuals who may have been on the fence about buying a property during other times of the year are more likely to take the plunge during the festive season, when they can secure favourable financing terms and can also avail lucrative offers.
In India, festivals are considered to be an auspicious time to buy a home. The unchanged repo rate currently is a festive bonus for homebuyers, giving them the opportunity to make cost-optimised purchases. The unchanged interest rates will be a major catalyst for growth in the residential market.
