Residential real estate at a 15-yr high; commercial may see best ever year: Anuj Puri
«I think after a very-very long time I have discovered that the developers have been extremely mindful of bringing in more cash flows and deleveraging their position rather than continuously increasing the prices and somewhere hurt the sort of sales of their residential,» says Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK Group.
Let us just get in a sense as to what you are seeing when it comes to the trend for housing prices in the Indian cities. Clearly, it seems that it has been on a rise, but at a time when we are looking at inflation moderating, how are you looking at the correlation between these two factors and what is the outlook when it comes to residential in particular?
Anuj Puri: The residential market continues to surprise us. It is at a 15-year high and it does continue to remain very strong. The good thing is that we are not seeing abnormal price rise within the residential real estate market. And I think after a very-very long time I have discovered that the developers have been extremely mindful of bringing in more cash flows and deleveraging their position rather than continuously increasing the prices and somewhere hurt the sort of sales of their residential.
So, clearly, we are seeing between 6% to 10% price rise, but that is perhaps in line with the inflation.
