While Mumbai and the National Capital Region may be reeling under a slowdown in home sales, it is a different story for southern markets led by Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. Spurred by the recent IT revival and stable prices, these markets have now begun clocking in stellar sales growth, reports CNBC-
TV18's Priyanka Ghosh.
The real estate recovery cycle is now knocking on the doors of Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Chennai. These markets have witnessed a number of fresh launches in the past quarter after a lull of almost a year-and-a-half.
For instance, Godrej Properties launched its Garden City project in Ahmedabad, selling 800 apartments within 10 days.
Bangalore-based Sobha Developers clocked in sales of 345 apartments versus 431 in the previous quarter, which also included a new launch.
Unitech launched 83% of its new launches in markets other than Mumbai and NCR that includes Chennai, Kochin and Kolkata.
The Prestige Group too has received encouraging response from its launch of White Meadow project in Bangalore.
V Hari Krishna, Director, Kotak Realty Fund, said, "Delhi was the first market to revive in the early part of last year. Then in the first quarter, Mumbai revived. Now, we have seen strong recovery back in Bangalore. Incidentally, we are seeing some decent sales in premium end projects in Hyderabad as well. We are seeing similar results in Chennai as well."
Experts say the spurt in sales have been triggered by the recovery in the IT sector. Infosys has revised its hiring estimates by over 150% in the past one year while Wipro has said it will hire 11,000 people this financial year, up from 8,000 last year
These markets that had been pushed on the backburner may attract investments too. Apart advantage IT, attractive pricing is also key for the spurt in sales. Experts say prices in these markets are almost 20% below their peaks, a stark difference from Mumbai, which is now reeling under low inventory, low sales and an pricing pressure.
Abhisheck Lodha, MD, Lodha Developers, said, "Last year, a lot of people pushed a lot of launches into the market because they wanted to sell whatever they could. You are not going to see that sort of a thing happening every year. I think prices are likely to go up by 10-15% this year from where we stand today."
Industry experts are hoping that the IT revival will also finally lead to a recovery in the commercial sector soon.

  19. Hi Rajeev,
    Few months back I read an article in economic times that the sales figure in housing sector given by companies(chennai) is false and they published the official figure given by govt of Tamilnadu for chennai which was 19000 in an year against the figure given by builders as 38000.
    Also I have seen that no big realty company has been able to survive in chennai except Vijay shanti builders. DLF, shobha devp, and some other big guns ran away selling their lands here. The most popular builder in chennai is Ramaniyam builders whose apartments one can see everywhere in the city. As far as chennai is considered it the local players who easily survive.
    Again this is what I have noticed here. I may be wrong.

  20. Hi Rajeev,

    As this realty topic has come up here, thought of mentioning about not-yet-listed Nitesh Estates (http://www.niteshestates.com/).

    They have properties coming up at really good places here in Bangalore. Many residential complexes in South of Bangalore, commercial buildings in MG Road (commercial hub of Bangalore) and office buildings around Electronics City (the IT hub of Bangalore).

    Led by a young guy, Nitesh Shetty. He was featured in TOI's city supplement few months back. A not-so-significant-news, Board of Directors include Mahesh Bhupathi too :-)

    But as I said, it's still unlisted. Rumours are floating around that an IPO is around the corner.

    I think I read somewhere that you don't have a liking for IPO's, so just posting this for others reference.

    Cheers,
    Sumit

  27. Hi Rajeev

    Any view on Ram Ratna Wires. Small equity of 1.1 crore shares, holding more than 70% by promoters. Good brand sales of nearly 400 crores of FY 10 projected. Getting into vehicle parking solutions, which is a very major plus. mcap of only 50 crores. I feel is a value buy. Your views on it.

    Nitesh Estates To Raise Rs 405Cr In IPO
    The issue opens on April 22 and closes on April 27.

    Bangalore-based realty developer Nitesh Estates is looking at raising Rs 405 crore in its initial public offering.

    The company had earlier proposed to mop up Rs 450 crore along with a greenshoe option to raise a further Rs 45 crore.

    Nitesh Estates public issue will open on April 22 and close on April 27, sources familiar with the development told VCCircle. It is understood that the firm has tied up three anchor investors for the proposed share sale.

    According to an earlier VCCircle report, the promoters’ holding post IPO will be around 65%. For the year ended March’09, the company had total income of Rs 87.8 crore with net profit of Rs 2.5 crore. Nitesh also has investments from Citi Property and HDFC AMC for specific projects and SPVs of the company.
