Track2Realty Exclusive: Noida seems to be on a highway of growth corridor and is fast emerging from the shadow of being poor cousin of NCR’s glorified market of Gurgaon. If the spate of luxury and other high-end launches are any indication, already Noida is in the process of an image makeover where the investors’ confidence is increasingly tilting in its favour.

Track2Realty Exclusive: As the country heads towards the General Elections with policy uncertainties expected to get clarity ahead once a new Government assumes office, it seems Indian real estate is yet again high on the wish list of the investors, both domestic and international.

Track2Realty Exclusive: The real-estate category has taken the product-led path to brand building. Products occupy centre-stage in advertising campaigns; properties serve as brand emblems. Developers build properties, showcase them through advertisements, customers experience drives word-of-mouth, which in turn generates additional customers and on it goes. Through this iterative process, a brand is built. In other words, the brand identity is inherent in the developer’s real-estate footprint.

Track2Realty Exclusive: The Gujarat real estate has by and large reasons to feel satisfied with its better-than-national average performance during the year 2013. It would be safe to maintain that the property market in the state has weathered the slowdown blues better than many other matured property markets across the country and the developers are better off now than in 2009. As per rough estimates 50 per cent of top companies in the state have improved on their debt servicing while 30 per cent will see a fall in debt from next fiscal.
Track2Realty Exclusive: Home buyers across the country find the reports of price appreciation a manipulative marketing myth. They blame a strong cartel of brokers/underwriters responsible for artificial appreciation which does not have any market logic. What comes as a bad news for the developers and promises to redefine the market dynamics of the real estate is the fact that buyers’ awareness has caught on the market manipulation that appreciates property prices unreasonably. It also indicates the marketing strategy of the realty companies is not grounded while operating in an eco system of brokers/underwriters to absorb the artificial appreciation.
