Real estate sales in India were improving in the first quarter of 2020, until the social distancing advisory was implemented by the government, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus continuing, reducing site visits. Subsequent lockdown forced house buyers to postpone the decision to buy their home until the government and the market had more clarity than stability.
The economic relief measures announced by the government are extremely positive for the real estate sector on a large scale. This measure will compensate for the short-term impact of the crisis and increase liquidity, thereby easing credit flow and reducing the pressure of delivery deadlines. This will allow real estate developers to reorganize their business strategies and focus on high priority operations without additional financial burden. It will also ease home buyers' concerns and accelerate the completion of delayed projects. This step highlights the magnitude of the realty sector in India. Being the second largest employer in India, it is mandatory to protect the welfare and interests of all stakeholders.
Currently, the priority of most builders is to sell ready-to-occupant inventory. Now that the government has relaxed the lockout, the market may pick up momentum again, with more buyers entering the market. Although sales will be comparatively slow, it is unlikely to affect real estate prices overall, which has also maintained flexibility during demonetization and other reformist changes previously announced by the government .
In these challenging times, as people have realized the importance of owning a house, the demand for residential properties may increase in metro cities.
Better demand for property is likely to have a positive impact on property prices.
The place for price appreciation in real estate as the city offers quality housing options at affordable rates. Although the lockdown caused a short period of delay in construction activities, a reduction in prices is unlikely.
