India Witnesses A Rise In Home Launches By 3%

Recently people were worried about the fall in demand for home launches all over India. This was mainly caused by a rise in prices of residential spaces pan-India. This led to many projects lying unsold and resulting in dead inventory for the builders and developers.

However, there has been a recent spurt in the rise of home launches pan-India for the first quarter of 2019. Even Kolkata property builders have joined in the fray although this is true in all the nine major cities of India that we deal with here. The concerned cities are Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida, Gurugram, Pune and Thane.

This article discusses the rise in home launches across these nine cities. It is based on a report that has been taken from Prop-Equity. We give you a detailed analysis of the rise in sales of these flats all over the country so that you can get a comprehensive idea of the current trends in the real estate market.

After reading it, you will be able to understand that real estate has started to grow once again and this augurs well for people who want to invest in a property that will help them get good dividends. Hence, it is not too late for you if you are planning to buy a house this year.

Read on to find the differences in the rise of real estate among the major cities of India so that you can make an informed decision the next time you buy a house.

An Overview Of The Home Launches and Real Estate Market In 2019

As mentioned above, the real estate market has risen in the first quarter of this year i.e. from January to March 2019. 42,504 units were sold all over India compared to 41,101 in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Even though the rise seems to be small, it is good news for the market as this means that builders and developers have started to clear out their unsold inventory this year. This has given them a chance to launch new projects too and this clearly reflects the fact that the real estate industry has started to soar once again.

In the first quarter of 2019, the unsold stock has fallen by 4 % as compared to the last quarter of 2018. There has even been a rise of 10 % Y-o-Y and this has led to an increase in user demand. There was also a sequential quarter where the absorption of sales fell by 6 % but the Y-o-Y rise by 5 %. The yearly jump that has taken place reflects that the sales may rise for the rest of 2019.

The report mainly suggests that the end-user is the real driving force behind the growth of the real estate industry in India. This is because people are mainly focused on buying properties that have little risk-taking. So they are going for properties that are for possession or are nearly being completed. Hence, there has been a fall in the demand for properties that are under construction and those that have long shelf lives.

All this shows that there has been a wonderful rise in the scope of Indian realty and this will hold home buyers in good stead. The budget has also helped in this regard with the real estate industry getting a lot of privileges and benefits.

This will stimulate a further rise in the demand for housing and more so in the segments of flats that cater to the section of society that wants affordable and middle-income flats. For them, 3 BHK flats in B. T. Road North Kolkata is a good option and they can check it out. So it is clear that branded and large builders and developers who have sound fundamentals will definitely do well this year according to Samir Jasuja, who is the founder and managing director of PropEquity.

Now that we have given you an overview of the real estate market in 2019, it is high time that we go on to discuss the overviews in the real estate market in each and every city.
