RBI Cuts Repo Rate to 5.25% — What It Means for Homebuyers
The Reserve Bank of India has reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25%, the lowest in the past three years.
This reduction makes home loans cheaper, lowers EMIs, and boosts buyer confidence — especially in high-demand markets like Pune.
Pune Housing Market Set for Strong Growth in 2026
Industry experts believe that Pune’s key areas — Hinjewadi, Baner, Wakad, Mahalunge, Kharadi, and Wagholi — will see higher enquiry levels and stronger demand.
Lower EMIs will especially benefit first-time buyers and mid-segment families.
Developers Expect Better Sales and Faster Conversions
The rate cut also improves liquidity for developers, helping them complete projects faster.
Premium and mid-segment housing categories are expected to see a more positive buying sentiment.
Why This Rate Cut Matters for Pune Buyers
- 🏡 More affordable home loans
- 💸 Reduced monthly EMIs
- 📉 Low inflation + strong GDP = stable buying environment
- 👨👩👧 Ideal time for first home, investment, or upgrading
