The Indian Real
Estate is now experiencing rising transparency and discipline in property
dealings .
In 2013-18, residential property price
appreciation in India bottomed out to a mere 12 percent – which effectively
worked out to a little over 2 percent annually, even for properties at prime
locations.
In the unorganised real estate, the drop
is nearly 40 percent during 2009-12.
Real
Estate - Geographically
The Indian Realty can be studied on the
basis of different areas and region.
Hyderabad saw exponential rise in land
price during 2004-08, which translated into growth in major localities.
Pune saw a significant IT boom during
2009-13, as a result of which land prices appreciated by as much as 60%.
Talking in terms of returns, Indian
realty cannot be generalized due to varying growth in different states. There
are some parts of India that performed extraordinarily well while others
didn’t.
Some markets are almost end user-driven,
which puts the lid on speculative price hikes. Others are oriented more towards
investors with a long-term view.
Real
Estate over Stocks
According to ANAROCK’s consumer
sentiment survey for H1 2019, 25% respondents went with stocks and Mutual Funds,
whereas, more than 57% went with real estate, which further affected the fixed
deposits and gold.
So, as Indians’ inherent love for
properties is not collapsing anytime soon, the Indian realty shall keep growing
in the years to come. And investors have evolved in their outlook, now more
mindful of alternative options in the residential space itself.
Affordable housing can give returns to
the tune of 8-10 % in the long term. There are also a number of alternative
residential real estate investment options, including serviced apartments,
senior citizen living, Smart City-based housing, and co-living.
Commercial
Real Estate
Earlier, most of the investors banked on
residential properties. But, today, wealthier investors invest in commercial
ones and sectors like warehousing. Also, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) are
keeping investors hooked to the commercial real estate.
Indian commercial properties are
generating a lot of interest among wealthy investors. Commercial properties in
the real estate sector have performed much better than housing over the past
few years.
Housing sales across major Indian cities
have seen a slowdown, especially after demonetisation (DeMo), implementation of
the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) and the Goods
& Services Tax (GST). Meanwhile, commercial office leasing ROI has
relatively gone up.
Residential
Properties–
Earlier, investors invested in
residential properties by purchasing and selling them off in time. But, the
same will not make sense currently due to the new regulatory environment and
existing norms in Indian realty.
In the real estate sectors in the developed
countries, alternative residential real estate investments for the long term
have earned returns on par with those of equity and Mutual Funds.
Indian Realty as of now is in an unpredictable
state and Indian housing prices will hardly see any shift. But, the state might
change in the future and good returns can be expected from the realty.
