As far as real estate is concerned, of course the first two option comes before everyone's mind is India and China. Of those two due to so much of rules and regulations, China is more restricted compared to India. In India it's booming at a rapid speed in last few decades.

So we've all heard about how the property market in India and China have been booming, and I'm sure we all want a piece of that action! I have been hunting around the net to find good sites that deal in India property and property in China, but reliable and professional companies are hard to find.

However, I have come across a few sites that do service India property, and one that sticks out is <snip>They offer a full service related to India property investment, plus India city guides, what the Indian property market is all about and much more.
Any further information please shares with me
thanks

Hi, I don't disagree with your views however, these media reports leave me baffled about the current state or future of real estate sector. As per the reports, builders are sitting on 70,000 crore worth of unsold inventory and that India is heading for 50% collapse in prices. There has to be an equivalent demand vs supply and at an affordable prices.
You may refer to media reports or this forum will act as a good reference point of information with all the expert members.

Good luck!

I too agree. In Asia, India is the best booming country especially for real estate. The important cities are Bangalore, Chennai & Hyderabad

With huge inventory lying unsold across the country, the road to recovery looks long and winding for the real estate sector. According to experts, it will take another five years to sell the 7 lakh units, but lack of buyers' interest will make it more and more difficult for developers to complete existing projects. Even the festive season and the recent round of rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have failed to bring cheers to the real estate market. Lack of a regulator and delayed reforms have also prompted people to stay away from real estate. Property prices have remained stagnated.

According to real estate consultancy firm JLL, in the last four quarters prices in Mumbai and Chennai increased by 3.7 per cent and 1.5 per cent, respectively, while in Delhi-NCR prices remained fl at. The trend is likely to continue. Though the situation is expected to improve this New Year, experts say, it won't be as good as 2010/2012, and will take a few more years for the sector to revive. Here is a lowdown on how the real estate sector is expected to perform in 2016.


PRICE OUTLOOK

Those who are looking at quick profits should not invest in properties because realty prices are not expected to rise sharply. Says Anuj Puri, Chairman and Country Head, JLL India: "Though many buyers have been waiting for real estate prices to correct, it is unlikely that any large scale 'shock disruption' is imminent

Expectations were high that after the new government comes to power, a new lease of life would be infused in the sector but nothing has happened so far. Sanjay Dutt, Managing Director, India, Cushman and Wakefield agrees: "While we expect the situation to maintain a 'status quo' during 2016, the impact of these developments will gradually set in towards the end of 2017 or early 2018." However, unlike the residential market, commercial projects are showing signs of a revival. Says Samantak Das, Chief Economist and National Director, Research, Knight Frank: "In 2015, the office market continued a growth trajectory and may touch transactions of 39-40 million sqft. The top six cities in India has seen slightly more office space transactions compared to 2014," he says, adding that the turnaround of office space has not had positive effect on the residential sector.

NEW LAUNCHES

Now that investors are preferring financial assets over physical assets, developers have cut down on new projects. Moreover, end-users have not been buying properties feeling let down by the developers. Stretched deadlines for completion of projects has shooed buyers away from the market. The trend is expected to continue in 2016. According to a recent Knight Frank report, new project launches in NCR stood at 11,360 units in the fi rst half of 2015, registering a massive 68 per cent drop from the corresponding period in 2014. However, several steps have been taken to make real estate more affordable.

According to experts, many new housing projects have been launched at lower rates compared to similar projects launched in the same location. The Knight Frank report says residential projects under the Haryana government's affordable Housing Policy 2013 contributed significantly to the new launches in NCR between January and June 2015. Approximately 43 per cent of the total new launches fall under the scheme.

UNSOLD INVENTORY

Unsold inventory is a key indicator for the real estate sector. Rising levels of inventory indicate the lack of demand in the market. Says Dhruv Agarwala, CEO, PropTiger and Makaan.com: "Unsold inventory had reached very high levels in the beginning of 2015. It has come down slightly in the past two quarters due to a slowdown in new launches.

We expect it to come down further, as new launches will continue to go down and developers will focus on liquidating the existing inventory." Lack of buyers' interest has also impacted property prices, which either remained stagnant or declined across all major cities.

According to a research report from Prop Tiger, in the fi rst quarter of 2015/16 property sales fell by 18 per cent across Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida and Pune. Experts, however, say the situation is expected to improve. "2016 will not be very different in terms of unsold inventory pressure in the top six cities. However, the second half of 2016 is likely to see some improvement," says Das.

POSITIVE SIGNALS

Regulator. The real estate market in India lacks regulation, transparency and systematic process. A regulator for the sector will help buyers and investors to rebuild their faith on builders and developers.

Online buying: Developers have realised the potential of online medium in terms of reaching out to people. Says Agarwala: "Although these are early days in India for home transactions on the digital platform, I believe it will grow.

Portals will come out with newer features and solutions that would provide easy access to every potential customer directly on his or her smartphone."

Interest rate cut. Experts say RBI may cut interest rates further and this could trigger demand in tier II and tier III cities. The RBI has cut the repo rate by 125 basis points (bps).

Banks have, however, been slow in passing on the benefi t of the rate cut to customers, reducing home loan rates by only 30 to 35 basis points.

Therefore, it may not be a good idea to invest in real estate in 2016. For end-users, however, it is certainly the right time. But, before you take the plunge, don't forget to bargain for your dream home.

Population growth, economic growth and perhaps more importantly a more transparent property regulatory environment all bode well for the future. There may be some ups and downs along the way but surely the long-term prospects for the Indian real estate market are very good?

The real time stagnant factor will be very much fruitful for buying in the 'sought after' category considering the very much cloudy moods of real esate in India.

Is demonetisation still having an impact upon the market? Is it not too soon with many experts predicting further falls in the short term?
