Experts said that as the residential market gained momentum and capital values surged in recent months, buyers are becoming more motivated to make purchasing decisions, anticipating further strengthening of property prices. This sentiment is further supported by the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee's recent decision to keep interest rates unchanged.
