Interest rate changes directly affect commercial property buyers by altering loan EMI payments and total borrowing costs. When rates rise, cost of capital increases, leading investors to demand higher rental yields or lower acquisition costs. Conversely, lower interest rates reduce financing costs, boost investor borrowing capacity, compress capitalization rates, and accelerate commercial buyer demand across prime corridors like Southern Peripheral Road and Sector 73 Gurgaon.
