Hi rao,
Do u mean the indian Real estate will see a drastic slowdown for next few years!!!
Dear Lalpar,
With my experince of real estate,yes we are going to see no return/meagre return in real estate in next couple of years.Cities like Mumbai/Delhi will never come down as the rates here are too much but then nobody really ready for selling the property.The suburbs and all the other so called upcoming cities of India will witness sharp correction soon.
Unfortunately in real estate there is no regulatory body.The prices were always inflated by developers/agents.The property prices had gone so high that they were unaffordable by the middleclass,it therefore had to come down.
The current real estate is in a shape where there is no investor and the end user waiting for the rates to come down.
Unfortunately India is a country where even washerman gives his views on the policies framed by the P.M.
We see today everyone talking of downfall,economy going down etc etc..but if you ask the reason,hardlly 5% know it.
In stocks,the exact prices are in front of your eyes.You calculate the profit/loss and buy/sell it at that very time.
But in real estate,your heart really does not accept that the propery price has really gone down..they wait and wait thinking it will come up in 3 months..when the water passes above them,they sell..there is a lot supply and real estate comes crashing down this way..
the other reason could be this-
with growing Indian Inc. story,the salaries were shot up everywhere.We saw that people in call centres etc drawing 40k per month..a husband wife with combined salary of 60-65k took a housing loan and paid a huge amount of their salaries as EMI..
With the interest rates going up and terribel job cuts,they were forced to sell the houses adding to more sorrow......
So we see,negative negative everywhere and people not knowing about it commenting..adding more confusions to existing confusions and rates standing nowhere..If you ask me,I am amazed to see such low rates in mumbai suburbs and Gurgaon Noida(Delhi suburbs)....
