Rise in Home Loans

RBI’s announcement about interest rates in home loans may create a negative impact on real estate developers. This will be a bad news for those people who are looking to buy house as loan. Banks like ICICI, SBI and IDBI indicated that they would also increase interest rates in near future. With high construction cost, sure this is a blow to real estate sector.
