Real estate has toxic positivity problem worldwide

A recent report claims current sentiment index score of Indian real estate is 72. I wonder how! Who is going to believe this? Definitely not the home buyers at the receiving end of the builders with delay, default, unmet promises and what not. But this is not an isolated instance of one-odd such report. 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.

7 years of RERA; 7 unaddressed questions

It was conceptualised to clean the opaque ecosystem of Indian real estate; was touted to be the biggest reform of the sector; and expected to enhance the home buyers’ confidence index. But seven long years after the enactment of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), it has still not evolved as a stamp of trust for the harassed home buyers. RERA’s tryst with trial & error has not only dented the confidence of the home buyers but also lent credence to the perception that complaint with RERA rather gives an edge to the builders. After all, RERA has been relegated to be the balancing act for both the builder and the buyer. A Track2Realty analysis.

Taken for granted voters behind Greater Noida West plight

Greater Noida West, or Noida Extension in popular parlance, is a case study in how a high potential property market suffers from years of systematic plight. Reason is more political apathy than administrative callousness, and the home buyers in this part of the world are waiting for basic services like Underpass, Metro Rail, Foot Over Bridge among others for around a decade now. A micro market with around a million (10 lakh) vote bank, taken together voters of high-rise apartments & adjoining villages, is part of Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha constituency. Ravi Sinha finds that the citizens in this part of the world have no one but themselves to blame for having allowed elected representatives to treat them as taken for granted voters.

An year of misplaced optimism ahead?

Ever since the beginning of the year 2023, the real estate industry stakeholders are going gaga with the narrative of a turnaround year. It is not that such misplaced optimism has not hurt their cause in the past, but the leading voices of the sector seem to believe that a false narrative would goad the home buyers to make a beeline at the sales office. The industry narrative is hence tilted towards what could easily be vouchsafed as misplaced optimism.

Union Budget 2023-24 disappoints real estate
