According to a recent report, the national capital region (NCR) has seen the highest decline in unsold inventory, followed by Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The report attributes this decline to improved sales velocity and a cautious approach by developers in launching new projects.
In contrast, the MMR and Pune markets have comparatively high unsold stock. This is largely due to an increase in the number of new launches by developers in response to rising demand. However, the report notes that even in these markets, the unsold inventory is decreasing gradually.
The reduction in inventory overhang is a positive sign for the Indian real estate market, which has been struggling with high unsold stock for several years. The industry has been working to clear the existing inventory, and the trend is expected to continue in the coming quarters.
Several factors have contributed to the decline in unsold inventory. One of the main reasons is the improved sales velocity, which has been driven by a combination of factors such as stable prices, improved affordability, and attractive offers by developers. Additionally, the implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) has brought in transparency and accountability in the industry, boosting buyer confidence.
Another factor that has contributed to the decline in unsold inventory is the cautious approach by developers in launching new projects. Many developers have been focusing on completing existing projects rather than launching new ones, which has helped in reducing the inventory overhang.
The reduction in inventory overhang is expected to have a positive impact on the Indian real estate market. With lower unsold inventory, developers will be able to focus on launching new projects, which will lead to increased activity in the market. Additionally, the trend is expected to lead to improved prices and better returns for investors.
Overall, the decline in inventory overhang is a welcome trend for the Indian real estate market. It is a sign that the industry is moving in the right direction and is expected to continue to grow in the coming quarters.
