Low interest rates to propel the demand for housing

RBI in a bid to boost the sector has kept the repo rate to 4% unchanged for the third time in a row in its bi-monthly monetary meet held in December 4, 2020. Prior to that repo rate was 4.40% for the month of March and April 2020. The result of an unchanged repo rate had a clear and visible impact on most banks home loan rates. The rates were reduced to 6.75 to 9 percent in the second half of 2020 from the highs of 8.05-12 percent in January 2020. The next RBI monetary meet is scheduled for February 3 to 5, 2021. Buyers looking to benefit from the low interest rate must hurry up.
