Its all well and good to reduce taxes. However, one of the most prohibitive factors of buying a home in Jamaica is the down payment.

Now it's time for the lending institutions to follow suit. I find it interesting but not surprising,that RBTT has decided to enter the world of Real Estate by the provision of mortgages. Clearly in an effort to capture market share they will have to introduce a very competitive rate in order to generate any kind of interest on the part of prospective buyers any give arch rivals Jamaica National Building Society and Victoria Mutual Building Society a run for their money. More importantly it will be fascinating to see how they both respond, especially Jamaica National Building Societly who only recently just raised its' interest rates! I say things are beginning to look up and I quite agree with you Howard, we should be seeing the industry being stimulated nearing the end of this year.I am excited at the prospects and feel things can only get better!
