Key Highlights
  • For top two real estate online classifieds views and leads per listing per day fell.
  • Leads per listing fell as much as 45% in the April to June period.
  • Demonetisation followed by the implementation of RERA has parched home buyers investing spree.

It is a quiet period in the real estate industry with online classified ads not garnering much traction from home buyers in the past few months.

Owing to the implementation of the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act (RERA), demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation, the appetite for buying houses in India has declined, a report by RedSeer Consulting said on Monday.

“Real Estate industry has been under stress due to entry of new regulator, a new tax regime and slow down in price appreciation, this in turn has impacted the demand trends on online classifieds,” the report said.

The report looks at views and leads per day of top two real estate classifieds which had fallen further in the April to June quarter as compared to its preceding quarter.

Views per listing fell as much as 22% in the first quarter of the financial year while leads per listing dropped 45%.

The RERA act aimed to increase transparency in India’s retail estate sector. This government body can be approached by buyers for redressal of grievances against any builder.

RERA would also mandate that all builders register for properties under construction and would restrict builders from escalating cost of projects under construction.

Failure to abide by the act would also attract punitive measures which would include fines up to 10% of the project cost.

Demonetisation of old Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes that took place on November 8, 2016 simultaneously increased the prices of houses in India. The all India House Price Index (HPI) increased by 2.3% from 234.9 for second quarter of 2016-17 to 240.2 in Q3 (October to December 2016) of 2016-17 as per provisional figures provided by RBI.

"With high liquidity in banking system post-demonetisation, the buyers would be on a wait-and-watch mode expecting further cut in borrowing rates," a Care Ratings report predicted in February 2017.

Sales volume in the residential market dropped by 44% year-on-year (y-o-y) and new launches fell by a massive 61% year-on-year (y-o-y) during the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2016, a report by Knight Frank read dated January 11, 2017.
