Lincoln Bennet Rodrigues, Chairman & Founder, The Bennet and Bernard Company, said, “The overall real estate sector now rests on a strong footing and buying decisions may not be altered by these marginal changes. The rate hike will not impact luxury home buyers much as end-users of this segment are at the top of the pyramid, unlike other housing categories, where they might defer purchase decisions. Going forward, we hope that the government continues to pay attention to the requirements of the sector, which is one of the largest employers in the country.”
