Chennai Real Estate Market Witnesses Mixed Performance in Q1 2024
Real Estate News:The Chennai real estate market exhibited a mixed performance in the first quarter of 2024, according to data from the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA). While new project launches showed promising signs, sales figures remained sluggish.\n\nThere's a reason to be optimistic about future supply in Chennai's real estate market. Q1 2024 saw a significant increase in new project registrations, with a total of 78 projects registered, reflecting a 28% jump. Notably, 59% of these projects were launched by members of CREDAI Chennai, a leading industry body.\n\nThe good news extends to the type of properties being developed.

There was a substantial rise in registrations for residential units, with 7,218 units compared to Q4 2023. South Chennai emerged as the most preferred location, with 29% of the projects planned for this area, followed by Central Chennai at 26%.\n\nWhile new launches are encouraging, actual sales paint a different picture. The number of units sold in Q1 2024 dropped significantly by 44% compared to the previous quarter. Only 2,983 units were sold, with CREDAI members accounting for 89% of these sales.\n\nIndustry experts attribute the decline in sales to frequent changes in registration charges and a lack of clear guidelines for under-construction projects.

This uncertainty has made potential buyers cautious. Further adding to the challenge, Chennai has a high level of unsold inventory, with over 7,700 units in completed projects as of March 2024.\n\nCREDAI Chennai acknowledges the challenges but remains hopeful. Mohamed Ali, President of CREDAI Chennai, stated that their sales have been impacted by uncertainties but emphasized their commitment to working with the State Government to resolve these issues. The industry's ability to adapt and evolve is promising, and stakeholders are looking forward to positive developments in the near future.
