Small ââ¬Ëwindow of opportunityââ¬â¢ for buyers looking for well priced property in India
Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) India, a global property research firm says that prices of residential units in India in the next six months should witness ââ¬Ëmarginal appreciationââ¬â¢.
A report from the company says ââ¬Ëover 60 per cent of residential launches in the Top 7 cities...are priced in the range of Rs 2,000-4,000 per sq ft, which meets the demand of middle-income buyers.ââ¬â¢
The property market in India is also expected to be boosted in coming months by interest rate cuts. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has indicated that it expects to cut rates in the second half of 2012. This will make mortgage costs lower as well as helping developers save money on their borrowing costs.
This is because a number of builders have acquired huge land banks using borrowed money. The Economic Times reports that ââ¬Ëas the builders pay huge interest rates, nearly 15-18 per cent on the borrowed fund, the servicing of debts has put huge strain on their finances.ââ¬â¢ So, falling interest rates helps them manage their debt.
If you are thinking about buying property in India, JLL suggests that you move sooner rather than later. The company suggests that property buyers have a ââ¬Ësmall window of opportunityââ¬â¢ over the next six months where prices are only seeing marginal appreciation. The research firm then says ââ¬Ëa second wave of high appreciation is predicted.ââ¬â¢
