The report of a property consultancy firm about sizeable appreciation of properties and record demand for plots around upcoming Jewar Airport at Yamuna Expressway has yet again brought the spotlight back on properties closer to airports.

In a landmark judgment with far reaching consequences, Bihar RERA has issues arrest warrant against three builders. This could easily be termed as a historic judgment of RERA. Why so? It is because the eco system of the complex business of Indian real estate has been such that builders continue to take RERA for granted.

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.

As a matter of fact, most of the reports by the brokerage firms (in the guise of consulting firms) and other industry stakeholders would like the home buyers to believe that if you don’t buy property now, you would be left behind. This unnecessarily creates a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in the minds of the gullible buyers.
