Banks are taking advantage of the growing demand in real estate
In view of the increasing demand in the real estate sector, banks have started cutting home loan rates. Since the home loan is secured, banks are giving more emphasis on it. It is also a long term loan. Therefore, banks keep getting interest on it for a long time. That’s why most of the banks are currently engaged in expanding their home loan portfolio. In view of the facilities provided by the government to the real estate sector, demand is expected to increase in this. Banks are trying to take advantage of this opportunity to further strengthen the home loan business.
