Gift city latest news to higher foreign inflows and more liquidity. Cash-strapped developers will find their liquidity problems easing in 2015. One factor consistently contributing to tepid end-user and investor interest in realty offerings has been the high interest rate regimen, which RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan steadfastly refused to lower last year, despite repeated requests from various stakeholders. But with inflation dropping to record lows in recent months, the RBI will finally take a call on reducing interest rates during the first quarter of this year.Considering this scenario, developers are expected to come up with more offerings in the mid and affordable housing segments, rather than focussing purely on premium projects, where the margins are higher but off-take has been slower. These developments will help arouse buyer interest and trigger better sales in residential units compared to previous years.
