Financial Express-RBI rate cuts to boost housing demand, enhance affordability in FY26
With home loan interest rates expected to decline further, the Indian real estate market is poised for a significant boost in FY26. The recent 25-basis point repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set the stage for a potential easing cycle, making homeownership more affordable and enhancing loan eligibility for buyers.
Industry experts anticipate additional rate reductions in the coming months, which could further drive demand across all segments—particularly in metro and Tier II cities. As borrowing costs decline, both first-time buyers and investors are likely to benefit, reinforcing real estate as a preferred asset class in a growing economy.
