Lenders lower rates as home loan growth dips

Mumbai: Banks and home financiers are offering special rates before the financial year-end to lure customers amid sluggish demand, as recent interest rate hikes have made home purchases costly.

State Bank of India (SBI), for instance, is offering a home loan rate of 8.5% for customers with a credit score of above 750. Similarly, Housing Development Finance Corp. (HDFC) is offering 8.7% to customers with a credit score of above 760. Last week, Bank of Baroda slashed home loan rates by 40 basis points to 8.5% and waived the processing charges on such loans.
