Outlook for real estate sector in India in 2019


The year 2019 will be both challenging and opportunistic and the ones likely to succeed are those who embrace the changing market dynamics. Apart from elections, credit growth and improvements in infrastructure will set the tone for economic growth in the future. Historically real estate prices have traditionally remained soft ahead of the elections, but have regained momentum afterwards. While the polls might not substantially impact property prices, they could slow down policy clearances and infrastructure projects critical to real estate. A stable government at the centre in 2019 will further boost the growth in the sector. 

 The lack of credit off take compounded by the current NBFC crisis has been a cause of worry for stakeholders in the sector. Despite the concerns, the economic indicators have remained positive with India's GDP growth rate pegged at 7.3% and inflation been reined in at 4.8% in 2018. However, more efforts will have to be put in 2019 to maintain the existing momentum.

In 2018 developers largely focused on clearing existing inventory and adjusting to the new policy requirements. The increased transparency and accountability has created a more efficient environment which has found favor with both domestic and institutional investors. The stringent measures enforced by Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has erased out non serious players and only credible developers with proven track record are driving the market, both organically and via consolidation. This is expected to continue in 2019 as well and we will see established names further capitalize on their brand to strike joint development deals with smaller players.

The implementation of title insurance that will lead to renewed confidence among buyers and will definitely impact the real estate market favourably. Digitisation of land records will further aid in improving transparency in the land records maintenance, updating settlement records and reducing the scope of land disputes, thereby enhancing the real estate market.

Affordable and mid-income housing took centre stage in 2018 will continue to drive residential housing both in metro and Tier 2 cities. There been an uptick of almost 15-20% with preference for ready to move in units owing to RERA and GST benefits. The massive push for improvement in infrastructure by the Government of India (GOI), including significant capital expenditure for roads, railways, development of smaller airports and expansion of schools and hospitals at the outskirts will benefit this segment further. This will provide better connectivity and have a multiplier effect thereby allowing developers to explore new projects in the peripheral areas of the cities.

The Logistics & Warehousing sector gained significant traction this year after the centre granted infrastructure status to logistics. It is showing a massive growth owing to large infusion of foreign capital.

The commercial space in real estate is expected to remain the most buoyant force in the sector. Growing demand for Grade A office spaces across major cities, including new sectors like co-working spaces that is further expected to push the demand for commercial properties. The government’s push towards promoting start-ups and developing smart cities will create a lucrative environment for businesses to work and expand. Major markets in South India such as Bangalore and Chennai can gain further traction owing to fair pricing, increasing growth of IT companies.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) listings in 2019 will infuse liquidity in commercial real estate. It will fuel demand for office space from major sectors like logistics, manufacturing and consumer goods, besides IT and ITeS and the banking and financial services sectors. Rentals in metros and Tier-1 and Tier-II cities will continue to remain in demand.

Developer’s focus will further shift to customer centricity through the use of technology and digital platforms in the coming year. The ability to predict human behaviour through qualitative data analysis of social media such as ‘likes’ on Facebook, YouTube videos, twitter feeds and similar trends have become a game changer for the real estate sector. This will help them customize as per the ever evolving needs of the buyer.

To sum it up, 2019 will start on a cautious note due to the upcoming elections, but will pick up significant momentum thereafter, in all real estate segments.

  3. Hello everyone, I'm Patricia Sherman in Oklahoma USA right now. I would like to share with you my experience of borrowing USD $185,000.00 to clear my bank draft and start a new business. It all started when I lost my house and I took my stuff because of the bank policy and I met some bills and some personal needs. So I became very desperate and started looking for funds in every way. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine, Linda told me about a credit company firm, I was intrigued by the fraud, but I was intrigued by my situation and had no choice but to get advice from my friend about this company. contacting them really doubted me because of my past experience with online lenders, did you know that little? '' Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com This company has been very helpful to me and my colleague and today, thanks to this credit company, the proud owner of well-organized work and responsibilities, they smiled back at me.

    Beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya putus asa untuk membantu biaya sekolah dan proyek saya tetapi tidak ada yang membantu dan ayah saya hanya dapat memperbaiki beberapa hal yang bahkan tidak cukup, jadi saya mencari pinjaman online tetapi scammed.

    Saya hampir tidak menyerah sampai saya mencari saran dari teman saya Pak Suryanto memanggil saya pemberi pinjaman yang sangat andal yang meminjamkan dengan pinjaman tanpa jaminan sebesar Rp200.000.000 dalam waktu kurang dari 24 jam tanpa tekanan atau tekanan dengan tingkat bunga rendah 2 %. Saya sangat terkejut ketika saya memeriksa rekening bank saya dan menemukan bahwa nomor saya diterapkan langsung ditransfer ke rekening bank saya tanpa penundaan atau kekecewaan, segera saya menghubungi ibu melalui (estherpatrick83@gmail.com)

    Dan juga saya diberi pilihan apakah saya ingin cek kertas dikirim kepada saya melalui jasa kurir, tetapi saya mengatakan kepada mereka untuk mentransfer uang ke rekening bank saya, karena saya berjanji bahwa saya akan membagikan kabar baik sehingga orang bisa mendapatkan pinjaman mudah tanpa stres atau penundaan.

    Yakin dan yakin bahwa ini asli karena saya memiliki semua bukti pemrosesan pinjaman ini termasuk kartu ID, dokumen perjanjian pinjaman, dan semua dokumen. Saya sangat mempercayai Madam ESTHER PATRICK dengan penghargaan dan kepercayaan perusahaan yang sepenuh hati karena dia benar-benar telah membantu hidup saya membayar proyek saya. Anda sangat beruntung memiliki kesempatan untuk membaca kesaksian ini hari ini. Jadi, jika Anda membutuhkan pinjaman, silakan hubungi Madam melalui email: (estherpatrick83@gmail.com)

    Anda juga dapat menghubungi saya melalui email saya di (siskawibowo71@gmail.com) jika Anda merasa kesulitan atau menginginkan prosedur untuk mendapatkan pinjaman
