INDIAN REAL ESTATE – POST COVID 19
INDIAN ECONOMY
With the COVID infection rate in India reducing and cities unlocked in phases, the Indian economy is on its path to recovery. After slumping by a sharp 24% in April-June 2020, the GDP contraction was relatively muted at 7% in July-September 2020. Most economic parameters are now inching closer to the pre-COVID levels and some indicators have also started recording growth compared to the previous year. With the economy moving towards normalcy, the displaced labour has started getting re-absorbed, helping to improve the employment scenarioin the Construction sites of Development & Infra Projects. Supportive measures from RBI and the Government have aided the economic revival. RBI has cut policy interest rates, while announcing various other measures for liquidity infusion, one-time loan restricting and targeted supportive measures for NBFCs, MSMEs, Real Estate sector and other stressed sectors.
INDIAN REAL ESTATE
At the end of 2019, the residential market was already battling lacklustre sales, stagnating prices, falling investor demand and large unsold inventories across markets in various cities. With the RBI having tightened lending norms to the real estate sector and customer advances being prohibited by RERA, NBFCs had become a major source of funding for real estate developers over the course of this decade. However, the NBFC crisis at the end of 2018 left the industry with very few options, as investor demand had reduced dramatically in the past few years and the stagnating prices afforded potential homebuyers an opportunity to delay their decision while hunting for better bargains.
Just as it seemed like the residential market was finding its footing, the COVID-19 pandemic nearly stalled the market by the end of H1 2020 and the subsequent economic fallout was expected to keep the market similarly subdued for the rest of the year. However, contrary to majority sentiment at the time, the market has in fact clawed its way back from the lows seen in Q2 2020. The resumption of economic activity, reducing likelihood of further stringent lockdowns and the announcement & commencement of doses thereof, in phases, of a viable vaccine in 2021 allayed the fears associated with the pandemic. Developers also pursued aggressive sales strategies by being extremely flexible on prices and payment terms by allowing refundable deposits (on booking) and facilitating homebuyer financing to tide over the ongoing crisis.
The year 2020 proved to be a lot more resilient than most stakeholders had expected. Low home loan rates, regulatory interventions such as the further relaxations in RERA completion deadlines and more aggressive measures such as the stamp duty cut by the Maharashtra government helped the market survive and sustain this difficult period. The near-term outlook on sales remains cautiously optimistic, as buyers increasingly hunt for good deals in the backdrop of a slowly stabilising economic environment.
