`Mumbai Metro Region Stuck with 2 Lakh Unsold Flats in H1' :The Economic Times


New housing project launches down 47%, but commercial property turns around: Knight Frank
The housing market in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) has recorded its worst halfyearly performance since the global financial crisis of 2008, according to a report by property advisory Knight Frank India. The MMR -a 4,355 sq km area comprising municipal corporations of Greater Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan, Navi Mumbai and Ulhasnagar -had around 2 lakh unsold homes in the six months to June, the report said.
According to the report, the last two-and-a-half years saw a continuous fall in launches and sales across Mumbai, the National Capital Region, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Mumbai, the most expensive property market in the country, saw a 47% drop in new housing project launches during the first half of the year.

Over the last two years, demand in Mumbai fell 30%, while launches plummeted nearly 70%. The luxury residential market with a price tag of over `. 5 crore per apart ment has also run into rough weather and not seen any new launches in the last six months.i Knight Frank, however, said the residential market in central Mum bai and central suburbs posted a good growth from a year ago. In t MMR, builders have been venturing into locations beyond Thane for affordable housing projects.Around 59% of new launches with , a price tag below `. 25 lakh are in Kal wa, Kalyan, Dombivali and Ambart nath. Locations like Mulund, Kan jurmarg and Chembur have seen big launches, contributing 28% of new launches in these six months.

The report also added that commercial property has turned around, driven by office space pick-up by companies in ITITeS, banking and financial services sectors. “We expect Mumbai to clock office transactions of 7.7 million sq ft during 2015,“ said Samantak Das, chief economist and national director, research at Knight Frank India.

“Residential market is still reeling under tremendous pressure, with a drastic drop in new launches at the back of falling demand. The recovery of the residential market does not seem imminent until 2015 and we expect sales to be in the range of 63,000 units, which is marginally below the 2014 levels.“

  2. If you think that you are little short from the budget while buy 2 BHK in Dombivli so in present there are much number of financial institutions and banks are out there which can offer you home loan at very low interest rate, so that residents of Mumbai can own their own home and fulfill their own dream to have roof in Mumbai where they can live and enjoy the life.
