Q: Does anyone know about the current real estate investment situation amongst hyderabadis at the moment? Trying to come to a decision about my own investment.
At present, the property prices are lowest making the entry points relatively low for investors. This makes Hyderabad a prospective long term property investment destination. So if you're a genuine end-user, you have maximum options to choose from, along with great deals
At the momnet corporates are waiting for the upcoming Telangana government’s budget which is expected to provide more clarity on new initiatives and the status of many infrastructure related developments. I think once there is more clarity on the roles, the market will kickstart again, thanks to the tax incentives available in Andhra.
Yes, I agree completely. Once the first phase of the Metro rail starts operating in March 2015, the Telangana budget and single window clearance are few of the upcoming reasons that are expected to positively impact the real estate market of the city.
You should know that popular localities such as Gachibowli, Miyapur and Nizampet, which have the maximum supply, have actually seen the maximum drop in capital values in the current quarter. However, rental values have seen an uptrend with 60% of these localities experiencing a rise.
Keep in mind that capital values in Hyderabad have not yet crossed the 2008-2009 levels, which means the price appreciation has been moderate. It is the only city which has displayed a less-than-robust trend in terms of new residential launches over the past few years
Real estate market in the city has been volatile for a year now. We were expecting a lot from the new government, but it has not happened even with our CM announced several packages like single window clearance for the industries. You can blame either the bureaucratic redtapes and the unsurity about roles and postings behind all the project delays.
I went through the quarterly India Apartment Index Report and it indicates that the Hyderabad City Index has seen a drop of 2% in the current quarter, with 47% of the tracked localities witnessing a dip of upto 6% in capital values. The situation is made worse by the increase of supply by 10% from the previous quarter.
Whatever real estate agents and consultants I have spoken to about this situation, everybody is of the opinion that transactions are low in the market with very few genuine buyers, and its all because the new government is still to instil confidence among the investors and buyers.
Actually there is a decreased interest amongst buyers in Hyderabad. This measurement is done against an index called the housing sentiment index, and it has had a 12% decrease in Hyderabad acc to report for the quarter of July - Sep
I had heard that In the Apr-June quarter HSI had increased by 22% in Hyderabad after having dropped by 4% in the first Jan-Mar quarter of the year. So let me get this straight, a decrease in HSI indicates that buyer sentiment about investing in properties is low, is that right?
