Home loan rates go down

Bangalore: With the inflation in the negative territory and the liquidity crunch alleviating, banks are slashing the home loan interest rates. Taking the lead, ICICI Bank has reduced its home loan rates from 13 percent to 11.5 percent. The rate cut will be applicable on home loans of less than Rs 20 lakh.
HDFC Bank has announced that it is planning to reduce its interest rates post-budget and it also plans to cut the deposit rates by 25 bps (basis points). It was early in the year that HDFC had reduced its lending rates to offer home loans up to Rs 30 lakh at a rate of 9.75 percent, while loans above Rs 30 lakh were set to be extended at 10.75 percent to the new borrowers.
Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL), which provides home loans to the lower and middle class categories, plans to slash the interest rates by 25-50 bps in the near-term. DHFL also expects the interest rates to remain lower for some more time, because of the relief in liquidity.
The decision by the banks comes on the heels of the rate cuts announced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Repo rate, at which the RBI lends to banks, was reduced by 100 bps to 6.5 percent. The Reverse Repo rate, at which banks deposit their money with the RBI, was also cut by 100 bps to 5 percent. The government is also pressurizing RBI to lower interest rate further to ensure credit flow for all productive economic activity.
Earlier this month, the Union Finance Minister, Pranab Mukherjee in a meeting with the top executives of public sector banks (PSBs) urged the bankers to cut the lending rates further. State-run Union Bank of India has indicated a reduction in the lending rates by July, when it expects the related cost of funds to lower. The current benchmark prime lending rate of the bank is 12 percent.

5: This is only for new commers. Existing loans
are not brought down to 11.5% by ICICI Bank.
What a joke?

6:It seems like that doesnt it, rather than
being baffled wouldnt that be wise enough to
support our friendly service oriented
nationalised banks, who are actually with
their customers in tough times. Move ur
mortgage to nationalised banks and show
theese squeezing banks a pinch

9: Do you think this will make a difference to
the dismal market scenario. In my opinion
nothing much will change till the realtors
give readymade affordable housing (like in
other countries). The catch in this whole
business is possession. Today the people of
India do not trust fancy displays and
brochures of Realtors claiming to provide the
moon for a pittance. What they are really
interested in is value for money and, of
course, availability. In India most of the
housing companies build castles in the air.
Whereas, the masses want delivery on payment
(after all it their hard earned-saved
moolah). Which Indian Real Estate company
gives ready possession of the home they
advertise. None till date. So it is high time
for these dream merchants to get their act
together and start performing rather than
just painting fancy pictures in the sky. They
have to first construct affordable housing
and then put it up for sale and I am sure
that buyers will come, otherwise the Real
Estate businesses will have to wait for a
really long time for their business to pick
up.

15: This is a very good news for the real estate
market that is feeling the heat of recession.
Hope things will be back to normal very soon.

16:The problem is real estate market is
overinflated by more than 50%. It has room to
come down. The interest rate will help some,
but if cash flow is tight or perceived to be
tight, it will not help.
