Inflation has not Plummeted the Demand of Residential Property in Pune

While the news of plummeting in demand has been coming from one state after the other, the realty market in Pune seems to drifting in the opposite direction. Over a month of last six months, residential property in Pune saw an influx of about 21%. With more than 400 projects having been launched during this period, and the sell-market going strong, it is clear that the property market is performing well enough. Though the number of inventories lying vacant/unused is around 20%, yet the demand is going steady. In micro-markets too, a good escalation in demand has been witnessed. The time is ripe for those buyers who are interested in investing on premium properties, as the number of such projects  rolled out recently is pretty high.

As far as land for sale in Pune are concerned, the rates vary from one micro-market to the other. The localities where the average per square feet rate lies within the range Rs. 2000-4000/- include Dehu Road, Fursungi Gaon, Manjri, New Sanghvi, Talegaon, Chakan, Moshi, and Mohammadwadi. In areas like Viman nagar, Wakad, Lullanagar, Kharadi, Hadapsar, Hinjewadi, Pimpri Chinchwad, Singad Road, Vishrantwadi, Warje, Chinchwad, Katraj, Chikhali, and, Wakad, you can expect the higher range: Rs. 4000-7000/ sq. ft.

If one is on the hunt for premium residential property in Pune, localities including Erandwane, Balwadi, Bibwewadi, Koregaon Park, Magarpatta, Shankarseth Road, Baner, Kothrud, Kavre Nagar, and Shivaji Nagar can offer you a lot of options. The real estate prices in Pune, specially in Shivaji Nagar, Karve Nagar, Kothrud, and Koregaon can cost as high as Rs. 12000-13000/ sq. ft.

It's Pune's excellent backing by infrastructure, better connectivity, and several upcoming developmental projects that the realty market has not really fallen prey to the current recession and inflation in prices. As the economy here is still standing on its own feet, there are a  number of options available to both a buyer as well as an investor.

Flats in Mumbai: Skyrocketing Prices and Dearth in Demand

Buying flats in Mumbai, these days, has remained the sole privilege for the very affluent class, especially in the areas like Andheri and Goregaon. Even an unfurnished, 650 ft., 1 BHK flat in these areas and the like ones, can cost you anywhere between 60 lacs and 1 crore!! So, even after spending this stupendous sum on a 1 BHK, and that too unfurnished, what are you getting? The property bubble in Mumbai has swelled too much that it can burst any time now. Even in areas alike Thane and Navi Mumbai that were supposed to offer the affordable housing to middle and lower-middle segments, are ranking high in terms of price rates. What could be the reason behind such a catastrophic rise in rates?

The inflation that hit the Indian market recently resulted in an appreciable increase in the cost of construction materials like sand, cement, steel etc. To compensate for their invested money on these, developers started raising the rates. But they were not fair in doing so: they let the prices get appreciated too much, so much so, that the Mumbai flats gained a considerable raise in terms of prices. The greed of developers and builders, along with their nexus with political authority gave them ample freedom to appreciate the prices too much.

Seeing the hefty rates, the demand for flats in Mumbai came to an all-time low. Even the middle and upper-middle income groups started wavering from their decision to buy. In spite of the fact that the demand dwindled, the developers did not lessened the rates. Instead, to bring back the customers, they came up with offers like freebies and small discounts. But this strategy of theirs has not brought any fruitful result. As long as the prices do not get corrected, it would be difficult to see the demand get any increase.

Accretion of Prices for Flats in Pune

The erstwhile affordable city Pune seems to shed its tag, as is clear from the accretion of properties here. The city, better known for large IT firms and corporate culture, has started aping the other metropolitans in terms of price. To buy a 2 BHK flats in Pune now, you need to put in more money. Though the localities out there offer a number of flexible options in terms of affordability, the city is seeing a good appreciation of prices. Seeing the current inflation that has wrecked Indian economy, the demand for residential and commercial properties has dwindled. Still then, the prices in areas like Koregaon Park and Kharadi are touching crores.

Flats with 2 rooms can be purchased in the range18 and 25 lacs. Hinjawadi, that caters to needs of buyers from different price brackets, has budget houses as low as 15 lacs, though the properties with higher prices too are available. The other budget options are Undri, Hinjawadi, and Wakad.

Talking about the needs of upper-middle and affluent class, Pune has a lot to offer to them too. A 2 BHK flat in Pune in the areas like Koregaon Park, Viman Nagar, Kothrud, Kharadi, and Mundhwa can cost you a crore or more. At Hinjewadi, Balwadi, Dhanori, Baner, and Vishrantwadi, the apartments fall in the price bracket 35-65 lacs.

Get to know if the total monthly rental includes other charges like water & electricity bill, maintenance charges, and security charges too. If they are not, confirm what extra would you need to pay him every month?

2. Ask for the ownership documents of the flat on rent. The name of the real owner of the property should be explicitly mentioned in the licensee agreement. If the property is on anyone else's name, ask the landlord to mention the same on the legal document.

Real Estate Gurgaon: Going from High-Rise to Rock-Bottom

Gurgaon Property at Makaan.com
Lofty buildings and towering structures are the hallmarks of real estate Gurgaon. In spite of the appreciable space present for horizontal construction, it is the vertical elevation that is more prominently seen. The capital city Delhi, after tremendous construction, got saturated as far as the space for property development was concerned. So, the developers started looking elsewhere to keep their businesses going. And one such city was Gurgaon; it had huge market potential to become a real estate hub. The result is all before us... At present, the city is the prominent property market and attracts the investors as well as the end users equally well. Some of the major players like Emaar MGF, Unitech, DLF, and many more have made their presence felt in the housing industry.

Luxury houses laced with all the modern conveniences and carrying excellent connectivity, gave Gurgaon apartments an edge. They also pulled a huge chunk of comfort-seeking opulent class who displayed interest in buying property here. Even the upper-middle class too found the market lucrative. What was the result? As the demand for real estate Gurgaon reached its zenith, the prices too started escalating accordingly. But soon, the developers took it as an opportunity to fill their pockets. They created can artificial property bubble and never let the rates go down. As the prices were increased considerably, even the elite class found it difficult to make purchases.

What was the effect? The demand started receding, and at present, people are not finding it viable to invest into properties in the city. Even this too has not put a stop to the cash-seeking bellies of the developers, and they have now resorting to other means to attract clients. But as long as the prices remain high, their hopes shall remain hopes.

What Goes in Favor of Flats in Ghaziabad and What Not?

Ghaziabad Property at Makaan.com
What are the pros and cons of buying flats in Ghaziabad? Every coin has two faces, and so has this city. There are certain issues that portray gloomy picture of the affairs. High rate of crime, lack of a proper legal system and inadequate local transportation are the major barricades to the city's steady progress. Anti-social elements raise their ugly heads now and then. They are able to pull off their nefarious activities as their actions are bolstered by government authorities and politicians. Lack of transparency in the legal structure further fuels the fire. The realty market too bears the brunt of this lack of perspicuity. Then there is a concern regarding lack of any up-to-the par local transport which makes it difficult for people to commute within the city.

But on the positive side, the city is making a steady progress in terms of infrastructure, retail market, real estate, and industrialization. So, the realty buyers who are eying on Ghaziabad flats can take a breather. The power situation that was, hitherto, below par, is now convalescing amazingly. With top-class builders taking a leap here with their avant-grade projects, dwellers can get a kick out of the quality living and all the modern amenities.

Real Estate in Delhi: Buyers' Sentiments Watering Down

Delhi Property at Makaan.com
A friend of mine is trying to buy a house of his own in Delhi. Every time I meet him, this subject creeps  in-he has the habit of digressing to this favorite topic of his, no matter what the subject we are talking about. If one overhears our conversation at any point of time, he would hear the phrase 'real estate in Delhi' over and over again. Actually, there are a number of things that are making him waver about his decision. May be you too are facing the same situation. Let's talk about what is ailing an average buyer who wants a property in Delhi...

Everyone knows about the prices that real estate Delhi has been seeing year after year. They only escalate and seldom come down. This is the major concern. In spite of the fact that not much scope is left for any horizontal development in the city, the developers never let the prices to come back even a bit and make buyers take a breather. Living in a fully-furnished 2-BHK flat has become a distant dream for the middle-class income segment(like my friend). Talk of South Delhi, the rates are able to retain their 'colossal' nature there. The other regions too are following the suit.

Added to the woe is the inability of government to control inflation. Eating out or dining in a restaurant, buying a car, or purchasing petrol have become the 'privileged things'. Open your Facebook and see what importance a simple root like onion has gained. So much so is the hike in its price that it is seen as an 'endangered food' from our kitchens. With such things happening, who has the money left for buying a house and that too in Delhi? Real estate in Delhi, at the present moment, is facing a slump. Buyers are hesitating to make a purchase, given that they are finding it difficult to make enough disposable income for investment.

As if this was not enough, the fall in rupee further diluted buyers' sentiment. This steady decline has almost made them press the 'stop' button for their home buying aspirations. The fall-off has wiped out hopes of those who were planning to go for property for sale in Delhi this year. The present scenario may not last long, but it is posing difficulties for home buyers right now.

Sell, buy, or rent properties like homes, bungalows, villas, condos at India's fastest growing property portal, Makaan.com. Both residential and commercial properties from leading builders, brokers, and owners are available over the website. Make your search on the basis of price, location, type & age of property.

New Farmhouse Policy Going to Change the Face of Residential Property in Delhi

Delhi Property at Makaan.com
I have been commuting via Delhi metro from past three years and every single day, I have noticed one thing in particular. There are no or only 1 or 2 people getting down or boarding the train at Ghitorni and Sultanpur(Jhangirpuri-Huda City Center Metro Line). And I used to wonder why the train even bothers to stop at these two. It seems that authorities heard the mumblings of my heart. The new Farm House Policy laid down by DDA is going to completely change the scenario. As per this policy,  been  a total of 27 low density villages shall be covered for the construction of one-acre farmhouses. These shall be termed as 'Country Houses', and shall influence the rate of other property for sale in Delhi.

Since the day DDA announced that such a scheme shall be rolled out, there has been an unprecedented number of inquiries from investors and High Net Worth Individuals(HNIs) for acquiring land in these villages. This interest has directly affected the prices of other South Delhi property including flats and apartments: their rates have depreciated by 10-15% in the first quarter of 2013. DDA has also decided to increase the Floor Area Ratio(FAR) in the villages that are scattered along metro lines. The earlier FAR of 15% is proposed to increase to 20%.

In addition to Ghitorni and Sultanpur, a few other villages that have been included in the Farm House Policy are Asola, Devli, Hiranki, Bakoli, Rangpuri, Khanpur, and many more. As against the proposed  one-acre area, the earlier mandatory area for farmhouses was 2.5 acres. To make the best of the situation, several prominent builders have already roped in for acquiring land in these villages. As far as the present farmhouses that have covered high floor areas need to pay penalty in return for the regularization.

In the years to come, these remote villages shall be able to see high-end residential developments. This shall take time, but once that happens, these areas shall populate well. The number of commuters to and from the areas along metro-line shall increase considerably. We shall have to wait which turn the residential property in Delhi takes...
