2 FOREWORD PropIndex entered the fourth year of operations. In the first issue of the series, PropIndex reflected the cautiously positive consumer sentiment with the National Property Index rising by 1 per cent in the Apr-Jun 14 quarter. The City Index values too, remained even across cities with a marginal increase or drop of 1 per cent, except in Delhi. Demand for property in the Upto Rs lakh dropped across the country, contrary to the industry buzz that this is undersupplied and in greater demand. The 2BHK unit remained the most popular category across cities, reflecting the aspiration of urban dwellers to own a property that would match their lifestyles. The most preferred price range remained Rs lakh, where supply was in plenty and the budget was within reach of the middle class, which remained out of the market for a few quarters. Luxury properties, though in greater demand, remained over-supplied as developers across the country chose to build in this category. As more units hit the market, consumers have started choosing locations, budgets and conveniences in this category. Luxury values across cities have been included as a separate annexure. Rental values either dropped or stabilised in the quarter. The percentage growth in rental values was arrested as consumers again started looking for the buy option. Unlike the previous quarter, where rental values rose by 5-10 per cent, in this quarter, it dropped by upto 5-6 per cent, across cities. Demand preferences remained the same as in the previous quarters but was not evenly spread across the city. Locations near economic corridors continued to post greater demand. However, unlike the previous quarter, besides IT, the manufacturing sector too, drove demand in select cities such as Chennai. In Mumbai, the commercial hubs of the Bandra-Kurla Complex and even Thane drove demand. The completion of infrastructure projects such as the Santa Cruz-Chembur Link Road and the the Metro Phase-I from Versova to Ghatkopar, which eased connectivity to the commercial hubs, also contributed to change in demand patterns. The Union Budget of presented recently, has addressed the housing market s concerns in many ways. It has featured budget housing, finance issues, township development road map and development of smart cities as part of the main Budget. While the outcome will take a while, the urban infrastructure and housing provisions are expected to boost sentiment. These are exciting times and change is in the air.

4 VOL 4, ISSUE 1; APR-JUN, FY propindex.magicbricks.com NATIONAL PROPERTY INDEX (NPI) APR-JUN 14 n n Of the 12 cities 9 showed minor changes in the City Indices, while rental market showed subdued trends in majority of the cities Properties worth upto Rs 30 lakh recorded a significant drop in demand, whereas, properties worth above Rs 30 lakh, across the budget categories, witnessed a rise APR-JUN 14 In the Apr-Jun 14 quarter, no major change was recorded in the respective City Indices, except Delhi, which registered a drop of 4 per cent. All other Indices exhibited minus 1 to plus 1 per cent change, indicating a slow market. No significant increase was noted in supply, showing a cautious approach. NPI is a weighted average of supply and values across 11 cities in India. Average capital values across cities showed a range bound movement. On the other hand, unlike the previous quarter, average rental values exhibited a drop. This resulted in a marginal rise or stable rental values in the last six months. Lack of policy favourable for the real estate and no reduction in the home loan interest rates after the formation of the new government also impacted sentiments, contributing to the stable City Index values. This led to a small rise of 1 per cent in the NPI. Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon, Kolkata and Pune noted a small rise of 1 per cent in the City Index. On the other hand, Noida, Ghaziabad, Vadodara and Mumbai City Indices remained unchanged. Ahmedabad and Hyderabad showed a small drop of 1 per cent. Of the 12 cities tracked, Pune and Ghaziabad recorded the lowest number of localities with a drop in the average capital values. The new government has laid special emphasis on the real estate sector in the Union Budget With the modified version of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), the development of 100 Smart Cities, reducing the size and capital requirements of projects eligible for FDI, launching affordable housing schemes to proposing additional tax incentives on home loan, the n Demand for 2BHK units rose by 1-5 per cent across the cities, except Gurgaon government has announced a slew of measures to infuse fresh life into the real estae sector.

The Listed Price Monitor recorded a drop of 1 per cent. Unlike other parts of the Delhi-NCR, Ghaziabad posted a rise between 1-3 per cent in capital values. Lal Kaun at 11 per cent was an exception. NATIONAL PROPERTY INDEX l Except Gurgaon, all other cities recorded growing demand of 1-5 per cent for 2BHK units l Properties worth Rs lakh continued to top the buyer preference chart with a marginal increase of 1 per cent from the previous quarter l Demand for mid-segment properties worth Rs lakh and premium properties worth Rs 1-2 crore rose by 6 per cent l Supply of premium properties in 8 of the 12 cities outstripped demand The Ahmedabad City Index again dropped by 1 per cent in the Apr-Jun 14 quarter. This was primarily on account of a drop in the capital values by 1-4 per cent in large number of localities in the city. This kept the City Index value intact. On the supply side, no significant change was registered in the current quarter. South Bopal showed maximum increase in listings. The Listed Price Monitor showed a similar drop of 1 per cent. The Delhi City Index registered a maximum drop of 4 per cent during the Apr-Jun 14 quarter. Increase in availability of properties on sale primarily in the single floor units and drop in the average capital values by 1-9 per cent contributed to the drop in the City Index. Uttam Nagar in West Delhi noted the maximum increase in supply, followed by Safdarjung Enclave in South Delhi. Over 80 per cent of total housing demand was for apartments. With nearly 45 per cent demand, 2BHK units continued to be the most preferred BHK category at the city level, followed by 3BHK units with 41 per cent demand. Similar to the previous quarter, the Gurgaon City Index rose by 1 per cent in the Apr-Jun 14 quarter as well. The Listed Price Monitor, on the other hand, remained stable, unlike the previous quarter where it recorded a drop of 1 per cent. No major change was recorded in average capital values in the current quarter. However, the rental market showed a drop, unlike the previous quarter. Similar to the previous quarter, the Noida City Index showed no change. Increase in availability of residential apartments for sale coupled with an overall stability in the average capital values arrested the growth of the City Index. This too, kept the Listed Price Monitor unchanged in the current quarter. Over 65 per cent of residential localities tracked in the city witnessed a rise in the average capital values. This arrested the fall of the City Index inspite of slow uptake in the residential market. The Mumbai City Index remained unchanged in the Apr-Jun 14 quarter unlike the previous quarter where it registered a rise of 1 per cent.

East and West Pune remained the most preferred residential corridors, quarter-over-quarter. No significant change was noted in the average capital values. The increase or drop in values was registered between minus 4 to 6 per cent, with a healthy supply. This led to a 1 per cent rise in the Pune City Index. A 1 per cent increase was registered in the Kolkata City Index. Inspite of increase in the average capital values in majority of the localities tracked in the city, the Listed Price monitor remained unchanged. Statistics showed maximum residential development in South and East Kolkata, followed by North Kolkata. The city continued to yield higher rental returns of over 3 per cent, owing to lower base price of property and healthy rental values in comparison to other metropolitan cities. Similar to the previous quarter, the Chennai City Index continued to rise. It rose by 1 per cent yet again in the Apr-Jun 14 quarter. The Listed Price Monitor reported a drop of 2 per cent in the current quarter against a rise of 4 per cent in the Jan-Mar 14 quarter. Residential properties worth Rs -60 lakh remained the most preferred budget category, followed by properties in the budget range of Rs - lakh at 25 per cent. Post the peace that followed the Telangana decision, Hyderabad seemed to have stabilised. The residential property sector was relatively subdued in the Apr-Jun 14 quarter, as compared to the Jan-Mar 14 quarter. The Hyderabad City Index dropped by 1 per cent, primarily attributed to stable property prices and infusion of new inventories at a steady pace. This arrested the City Index growth. The Listed Price Monitor also dropped by 1 per cent as against a drop of 3 per cent in the previous quarter. Bangalore City Index rose by 1 per cent, in line with the NPI. With buyer sentiments in a waitand-watch mode post elections, the Bangalore market has been mostly passive, resulting in little change in property values in the current quarter. There was no change in the Listed Price Monitor. However, the rental market was subdued in the current quarter unlike the previous quarter. The Vadodara City Index value remained unchanged during the Apr-Jun 14 quarter. Drop in the average capital values in areas witnessing maximum development arrested the growth of the City Index. This resulted in the City Index value remaining unchanged in the current quarter.

The Listed Price Monitor also dropped by a per cent in the current quarter, as opposed to the 1 per cent rise recorded in the Jan-Mar 14 quarter Key Takeaways l The number of properties on sale went up across the city.

This resulted in an increase of 8 per cent during the Apr-Jun 14 quarter. With nearly 45 per cent demand, 2BHK units continued to be the most preferred BHK category at the city level followed by 3BHK units with 41 per cent demand l Over-supply was recorded for premium properties of 4BHK and Above configuration at the city level with more than 25 per cent availability in the current quarter Dr DB Gupta Senior Consultant, NCAER Former HDFC Chair Professor, HUF The slow down of the population rate in Delhi is accompanied by growth in the number of nuclear families. An increase in FAR resulted in the addition of new floors. The growth in the number of young high income earners and better access to housing finance added to the demand for high-end properties, in Delhi, Gurgaon, Manesar and Noida-Ghaziabad. The improved connectivity (via the metro) helped in reducing the pressure on Delhi s property market. The City Index of Delhi NCR declined by 4 per cent over the last quarter. Many localities experienced a fall in capital values. Notable exceptions were Kalkaji and Vasundhara Enclave. Most of the localities also experienced a drop in the rental values. Uttam Nagar and Dwarka remained the most preferred localities for purchase. Demand for properties in the price range of Rs - lakh increased by 8 per cent and supply decreased by 2 per cent. Demand for 2 and 3BHK units increased, while that for 1BHK and 4BHK and Above declined. The supply remained unchanged. South Delhi noted an increase in the demand-supply gap of high-end properties. Larger properties of 4BHK and Above had high supply and low demand while units of 2BHK had high demand and low supply. The supply of Rs 2 crore and Above and 4BHK and Above categories increased in North Delhi. The demand remained stagnant. Demand for Rs -100 lakh category and 2BHK units remained consistently high over the last two quarters. Supply in East and West Delhi was in the Rs 1-2 crore range. Demand remained unfulfilled. Shortfall in demand for low end housing might be filled as DDA plans to roll out 27,000 flats across Rohini, Narela and Dwarka starting this month. About 90 per cent of these flats are likely to be in the EWS category and the rest in LIG, MIG and HIG categories.

10 VOL4, ISSUE 1; APR-JUN, FY propindex.magicbricks.com DELHI Broker Mohit Minocha Founder& Director South Delhi Floors Consultant Surabhi Arora Associate director Research Over the years, it has become difficult to buy property in the real estate market of Delhi. In the wake of this, DDA is planning to launch a housing scheme, largely for the economically weaker section. In another key announcement, the state government decided to remove one crucial layer in the registration of properties. DDA lines up largest-ever offer of 27,000 flats Four years after its last housing scheme which had Delhiites stampeding to apply, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will soon be coming out with its largest-ever offering of 27,000 flats. The 14 housing scheme will offer flats across all categories. These houses will be spread across Rohini, Narela and Dwarka and will be priced from Rs lakh to Rs 1 crore. Almost 90 per cent of the houses on sale or 24,000 units will be put to draw exclusively for the EWS, revealed senior DDA officials. n The Times of India, Delhi/NCR One hurdle less for property deals in Delhi At a time when ways to reduce bureaucratic hurdles are being debated across the country, the state government has decided to remove one crucial layer in the registration of properties. From now on, registration of property sale deeds will not require a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the local civic authority. Builders had been complaining that such NOCs delayed land deals and were tainted by corruption. The move is taken to revive the struggling realty sector. n Times of India, Delhi NCR E X P E R T S P E A K With MCD s move to make provisions for smaller farmhouses, buyers now have more options to invest in the luxury segment. Moreover, with a stable government at the centre, the number of transactions have picked up which was almost stagnant till now. As the city will see the new government taking control, more activity in the real estate sector is anticipated, especially in the coming six months. Delhi realty was distressed from the last four quarters. Post elections, the positive business sentiments are likely to boost confidence. The absorption rates are expected to strengthen and new development is likely to pick up. Enquiries have increased but volumes have not yet picked up. With the new government expected to focus on various installed infrastructure projects, a welcome revival in Delhi residential market is expected. R E A L T Y N E W S To read full story and more news go to Q&A Abhishek Jain Managing Director Angel Group How has the city performed in the last quarter? Why? The affordable category, primarily the sub Rs lakh budget range, is performing much better across major cities in India in comparison to the budget range of Rs 50 lakh and above. The strict monetary regulations due to high inflation, RBI not releasing funds easily, home loans difficult to get, impending elections and property prices reaching peak levels by the end of last year have propelled this turn around. In Delhi NCR, price levels have remained stable but the rate of increase might not have been as high as last year. Which budget ranges have done well in the last quarter? Why? Property prices between Rs lakh sold well in the last quarter of this financial year because of the slowdown in the real estate market. Small investments yielded good results in the past year. What type of property is in demand? Residential 1 or 2 bedroom flats are in demand, starting from Sq ft. Which areas or corridors have seen the maximum launches in the last quarter? Which areas are expected to see new launches/possession in the coming months? The maximum numbers of project launches in the last quarter were seen in Noida Expressway and Noida Extension. The maximum expected possession in the coming months will be in Indirapuram. At least 5-6 major residential projects are about to get delivered in the coming months. Any new infrastructure project that had an impact on the real estate market in the last few months or is expected to impact the market in the coming months? In Gurgaon, Sohna Road, Jaipur Highway-Bhiwadi has seen a tremendous growth due to excellent infrastructural development, in and around Haryana by the development authorities.
