Property on 12% Assured Rentals- Know your risks
The Risk of Assured Rentals
Obtaining loans for their commercial and residential projects has never been an easy task for smaller developers. And now, as a fallout of the ‘bribes-for-loans’ scam and the subsequent tightening of lending norms for financial institutions, these players could find it increasingly difficult to finance their plans. Developers are also of the opinion that getting a lender to finance a project in an upcoming destination, such as Manesar or Dharuhera around NCR, becomes a difficult affair compared with loans for projects in Gurgaon or Noida. With the supply of money thinning, developers have adopted a new strategy to increase their liquidity position.
Home prices dip on tighter liquidity
Metro home prices take a dip on tighter liquidity
The vision of owning a house is slowly getting clearer for buyers as residential real estate prices are beginning to see the promised correction on the back of hardening interest rates and poor transaction volumes.
Real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle India (JLL) says newly-launched residential projects are recording an average 15% lower prices, especially in Delhi and Mumbai ? markets witnessing oversupply in many pockets.
The higher the prices, more the correction, with Gurgaon, Greater Noida, Navi Mumbai and Bangalore as prime examples, where prices jumped 30-35% last year.
Is buying land a good investment?
A plot of land can offer better returns in the long term compared with built property, but purchasing it can be problematic if you are not vigilant.
AMIT SHANBAUG
For 32-year-old Sumana Chatterjee and her husband Sumitro Mukherjee, 33, it was a fruitful end to house hunting when they bought a plot of land in Vadodara, Gujarat. However, a few months after paying the full amount, the couple was shocked when they received a stop work notice from the court on the construction of their bungalow. “We found that there was another claimant for the land and that the property was under litigation,” says Chatterjee.

Property Trend: Slump ahead?
Update 14 Feb 2011
The Bubble May be Set To Burst Again
Property prices in major Indian cities, including Mumbai and New Delhi, are set to slump by as much as 30% in the next three-six months as rising interest rates and tighter lending norms have led to a sharp drop in demand for homes.
"Softening in prices would begin in a month or two if sales continue to be low," said Adhidev Chattopadhyay, an analyst at Mumbai-based Edelweiss Securities Ltd. A Credit Suisse note on 19 January forecast that property sales in India may decline unless prices are cut 10-30%.

Why India may see several ‘little Singapore’ smart cities in 5 years
18 Aug 2014
The government has already initiated concrete steps to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promise of building 100 ‘smart cities’ – eco-friendly cities which use innovative Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for efficient delivery of public services and infrastructure.
PM Modi’s pet idea of building 100 ‘smart cities’ would need massive financial resources and technological prowess. For both these prerequisites, India will have to look up to foreign countries. Many countries have expressed their interest towards this endeavour of the new Indian government.
The Modi government has allocated Rs 7,060 crore (a little over $1.1 billion) in its maiden union budget to kickstart the smart cities project.
Singapore has emerged as a major foreign player in the Indian scheme of things in this context.
The government plans to deliver three smart cities by 2019, all of which will be part of the larger project called Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). These smart cities, scheduled to be completed by 2019, are Dholera, Shendra-Bidkin and Global City.

Tips on finding right property broker

Get your broker to earn his commission

Think of buying a house and it’s not just the price of the property you need to consider. There are other big-ticket expenses such as paying the stamp duty and the brokerage. Striking a property deal without a broker is difficult. But the broker’s responsibility doesn’t just stop at introducing the owner and the buyer. Though the unorganized real estate sector leaves the responsibilities of the broker unclear, a broker’s job doesn’t end until you have moved into an undisputed, clean house.

Expensive Real Estate Markets are Due For A Correction
But prudent investors will find plenty of opportunities in premium and redevelopment projects
by T Surendar | Jan 7, 2011
In late November, soon after environment minister Jairam Ramesh gave the green signal for Mumbai’s second airport, property prices around its location shot up by 20 percent. This was the same area that, even six months ago, real estate consultants and analysts were advising investors to stay away from. They reasoned that the prices had run up way too quickly. Today, the same professionals are recommending buying select properties in the same area at higher prices.

NCR-Delhi: Realty Trend for 2011
Residential market looks up
DHNS, 31 Dec 10
What defines this year in terms of real estate? The RBI seeing red over the teaser home loan regime, its move to tighten the flow of 'easy money' into the real estate market or the residential sector spearheading recovery of market economy…DH Realty looks back.
A good year for residential sector, not a full recovery for the commercial sector, status quo in terms of Bangalore’s infrastructure…That has been the story of the year gone by for the real estate sector.
According to a survey by makaan.com, “the year 2010 can be considered a mixed year for the Indian real estate sector. The industry displayed some positive signs of revival with homebuyers and investors coming back to the property market on the back of a higher consumer confidence and the promise of sustained GDP growth. This lead to hardening of the property prices in the beginning of 2010. The home prices moved up at a brisk pace during Oct 2009 to March 2010. The sudden and steep rise in prices created a fear in the mind of the genuine homebuyers and they adapted a wait and watch approach during the second half of 2010.”
