Questions that will define Indian real estate in 2025

The outlook of the Indian real estate on the eve of 2025 could confuse any neutral analyst. But for the insider analysts who are actually stakeholder-cum-expert, it is like another new year with hopes and promises galore. The stakeholders are so upbeat that all the industry reports are projecting a bullish upcycle to continue for the next few years, thus taking Indian real estate to a valuation of $10 trillion by 2047. Track2Realty finds that the ground reality for a commo0n man looking for a house in his affordable budget stands in contrast.

Housing prices in top eight Indian cities continue to rise, at 11% YoY: CREDAI – Colliers – Liases Foras

Average housing prices across the top eight markets in India rose 11% YoY at INR 11,000 per sq ft during Q3 2024, led by sturdy demand and positive market sentiments. Interestingly, average housing prices have increased for the 15th consecutive quarter since 2021. All the eight major cities saw an annual increase in housing prices with Delhi NCR witnessing the highest rise at 32% YoY, followed by Bengaluru at 24% YoY rise during the quarter. After registering record high sales over the last two years, the demand momentum across the top cities is stabilizing. Nevertheless, with anticipation of healthy residential activity in the last quarter, 2024 is likely to end on a strong note.

Why ASCI red flags misleading ads with real estate?

Real estate advertisements are most exploitative, says  ASCI. In its “Half-Yearly Complaints Report 2024-25”, the self-regulatory body ASCI (Advertising Standards Council of India) said that of all the 3031 ads investigated, around 34% were from the real estate sector alone.  It was followed by 29% ads from illegal betting and 8% from the healthcare sector. Track2Realty is conscious of the fact that the builders would challenge this allegation tooth & nail. The developers that we have spoken to have either denied existence of such practices or have even questioned the legitimacy of ASCI.

Lengthy & costly litigation helps builders to define law as per their fancy

Despite several rulings defining the set principles of law, the builders continue to define law as per their fancy. After all they are fully conscious of the fact that the poor home buyers have limited resources to get into lengthy and costly litigation. The omissions by the lower courts more often than not emboldens these builders.  Ravi Sinha reports about another landmark ruling by the apex consumer court, NCDRC (National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission).

Is RERA a rating agency?

Is RERA a rating agency? Does real estate regulation & promotion all about promotion, especially when RERA has not been a success story to regulate arguably India’s most dirty business. The question arises because in a couple of States the RERA had earlier announced to rate & grade the developers with much fanfare. It is a different matter that Track2Realty had questioned it since beginning as to whether RERA has stood up to the cause for which it was enacted. Whether SEBI or IRDA rates the companies which it monitors as the regulators?

Why can’t home buyers define demand for the real estate projects?

At a time when there is a mad rush to launch new projects in & around the airports across the cities of India, a developer in Bengaluru opted to go in the diametrically opposite direction. Prima facie, what appeared to be a case of finding a better or affordable land parcel in that given location of South-West Bengaluru had a strategy that very few adopt in the business of Indian real estate. The strategy to define demand through scientific research. The demand in the market was assessed with consumer psychograph study – what consumers want; what they need; where are the gaps; and how a new housing project could fill in that gap.

Will Indian home buyers finally have Uniform Builder Buyer Agreement?

Uniform Builder Buyer Agreement (BBA) has been the demand of Indian home buyers for long. In the absence of it, while the home buyers were being harassed by the unscrupulous builders, the sector was at the receiving end of poor perception in the collective consciousness. Track2Realty evaluates whether a Model Builder Buyer Agreement will be a reality after the repeated interventions by the Supreme Court of India.

Is UP Government tightening the noose around erring builders?

The question here is why are these builders not executing registries even after obtaining the OC (Occupancy Certificate) & CC (Completion Certificate) from the authorities concerned. The fact is that these smart developers delay & often deny registries to the home buyers to get maintenance of society when it is not registered. They continue to charge hefty amount in the name of society maintenance. Add ot it, revenue that they get from inflated power bills. After the registry of the apartment, majority of apartments buyers are free to form AOA (Apartment Owners’ Association).
