If you are planning to buy property in Kolkata through a loan, then you should be aware of the interest rates, as they have a significant impact on real estate investments. Everything, from property prices to affordability, depends on interest rates. Understanding the effects of interest rates is crucial for real estate investors to make informed decisions. Shriji Group Kolkata always makes an extra effort to guide new home buyers accordingly by making buyers aware of opportunities and risks, keeping in mind that no buyers face any financial insecurities in the future. Being one of the experienced real estate builders & construction companies in Kolkata, in this blog, we will explore some of the impacts of interest rates on real estate investments.
How Interest Rates Influence Property Prices?
Property prices are a major factor that depends on the interest rates. When the interest rates are higher, fewer people tend to invest in real estate, which makes the demand for properties a lot lower. Due to this low demand, property prices also tend to go down, which makes real estate investors who can invest without a loan a lot more profitable. Similarly, when the interest rate is lower, demand for property gets higher and, accordingly, the price of the properties.
For those looking to buy or sell properties in Kolkata, they must know that the best time to buy without a loan is when the interest rate is high, and to sell is when the interest rate is lower. Being one of the best real estate companies in Kolkata, we always help our clients to make an informed decision based on these fluctuations.
Effect on New Residential Projects
To understand the effect of interest rates on new residential projects, one must understand how the development process works. Developers need to have funding at first, to begin with the construction process, for which developers start to finance the project. However, it is not always enough, for which they provide an option of pre-booking to early investors. Investing in new residential projects through pre-booking lets buyers enjoy many perks and keeps them away from future price hikes. Thus, when the interest rate is higher, the investment in real estate becomes lower, and often many new residential projects get discontinued or abandoned. Simultaneously, lower rates make it easier for developers to continue with the construction process through secure financing.
For example, in our new residential projects in Lake Town, due to a recent dip in interest rates, property prices will experience a hike in the near future. Thus, to avoid that, buyers can pre-book their properties now, by which they can get lower interest rates, avoid future price hikes, and remain profitable.
The Impact on Luxury Properties
Our new residential project in Lake Town is among the top luxury residential projects in Kolkata. So when it comes to dealing with luxury properties, the scenarios are a lot different. Most of the luxury property buyers are financially well-established and are well aware of the drawbacks of home loans. Thus, most of the buyers dealing with our luxury properties buy without a loan. From that, it can be said that the luxury property market remains unaffected by interest rate fluctuations.
However, for those who need to depend on a loan while dealing with premium property, the best option for them is to pre-book their properties. We here at Shriji Group Kolkata, being one of the best luxury property developers in Kolkata, always suggest our buyers to pre-book and offer them the best prices and many customisation options. That means with pre-booking you can build your home just the way you want.
