Since the home buying continues at its full pace even after an impending rate hike by Reserve Bank of India due to which there have been a continuous rise in property prices, the realty industry now is completely free from tensions, i.e,  has shrugged off all its worries. Due to the still high food prices, many economists expect a fifth round of policy rate hikes towards the end of this month. Most probably, RBI will unveil its first-ever mid-quarter policy review on September 16.
However, the developers are still cool and confident for the residential sales even after a possibility of rate hikes by RBI are almost next week. The chairman of CREDAI, Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India, Mr. Kumar Gera say that since the buyers fear of price rise in future, therefore they will not stop investing right now. These days an investor does not see the price if he can afford it, he added. Therefore, this price hike won’t make much difference to the market.
