| Housing Prices Down(The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions) |
Housing prices fell by an average 7 per cent during January-March in
nine major cities over the previous quarter as developers cut property rates to
boost their sluggish sales, according to real estate research and analytics
firm PropEquity.
Unsold housing stock fell by 2 per cent to 5,95,074 units during March
quarter 2018 from 6,08,949 units in the previous quarter due to increase in
sales volume.
Housing sales rose by 8 per cent during the quarter at 40,694 units from
37,555 units in the previous quarter (October -December 2017)
The nine cities covered in the report are Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, Kolkata,
Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Thane and Chennai.
"...weighted average prices in the quarter fell 7 per cent from Rs
6,762 per sq ft to Rs 6,260 per sq ft suggesting aggressive pricing by the
developers to ignite home buyers demand," PropEquity said in a report.
On supply, it said the new home launches jumped 48 per cent across 9
cities in the first quarter to 25,970 units from 17,550 units in the previous
quarter as most of the developers were able to acclimatize themselves with RERA
regulations and migration to GST compliances. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
"We expected realty market to start stabilising first quarter
onwards and this is what we are witnessing now. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
"With this spurt of new launches in the first quarter, we expect
the trend to continue with developers focusing on mid segment and affordable
housing segment to take advantage of PMAY interest subsidy benefits,"
PropEquity founder and CEO Samir Jasuja said.
He expected that ready or about to be completed units would be sold more
quickly than the newly launched units.
City-wise, housing sales in Bengaluru rose by 45 per cent to 8,349
units, while Chennai saw 71 per cent rise to 3,101 units during January-March
2018.
Sales were up in Mumbai by 12 per cent to 4,197 units, 31 per cent in
Noida at 1,108 units, 7 per cent in Pune at 8,509 units, 16 per cent in Kolkata
at 2,543 units.
However, Gurgaon witnessed 60 per cent fall in sales at 1,007 units,
while housing sales declined 11 per cent in Hyderabad at 2,631 units and 6 per
cent in Thane at 9,249 units.The Total
