Need to buy / sell property online?

Want to sell your flat or apartment? Want to rent an office or shop?

Considering an increase in real estate investments, we bring in a quantum jump, introducing database for property prices in India. More ostensibly, we offer the right impetus the real estate enthusiasts and industry professionals require following the latest developments in Indian realty.

Want to lease a bungalow or farm house? Find paying guest accommodation or a room mate? You can leave your property requirements online for buyers/ sellers to directly contact you.India does not allow direct investment in equity markets for non-resident Indian citizens (and definitely not not foreigners). I do invest in US-listed ADR (like Infosys) and exchange traded funds (or ETFs like IFN) but I wanted to invest directly. One option available is real-estate.

I just returned after spending a few weeks in New Delhi, India. The incredible pace of growth in India inspired me to see if I can participate in the growth by investing.

The issue of population density pops up every time I discuss this. Let me be clear, the population density of India is much higher than USA. But, when you compare New Jersey and India - New Jersey is actually slightly more densely populated. And New Jersey is much more densely populated than Haryana, India.

NRI Services

Services for Non Resident Indian to manage their properties in any city in India. Use the registration and legal assistance provided by our partners to locate the best service providers.

The numbers when it comes to real-estate just don't add up though. Real-estate in India is incredibly expensive and not just by Indian standards (with per capita GDP of US$ 700 per annum). Here are some numbers:

One may argue that Haryana is too close to Delhi. Land in Dehradun is available at only $100,000 per acre while its much cheaper at only $20,000 per acre in villages in Himachal Pradesh. All at prices way higher than Florida or California. Commercial land is even more expensive.

The entire spectrum of real estate information in IndianRealtyNews has been created to facilitate prospective buyers/sellers and all associated with the real estate fraternity take informed property investment decisions by quick zeroing in on the latest real estate updates in India. So, Stay Connected !

The next issue that comes up is one of regulation and availability. Yes, real-estate is regulated in India with laws that prevent easy buying and selling and land records that are poorly maintained. This simply means that the prices can be artificially inflated in the near term (that could last several years) but in the long-term must return to rational values.

Will someone please explain this to me? How can farmers that make less than $1000 per annum continue to own land that is valued (notionally) at several $100K? Are the low rental yields (2-5%) indicative of the bubble?

In several interviews, Mr. Paulson made his first comments on how he made his historic coup. Merely holding a different opinion from the blundering herd wasn't enough to produce huge profits. He also had to think up a technical way to bet against the housing and mortgage markets, given that, as he notes, "you can't short houses."

"Most people told us house prices never go down on a national level, and that there had never been a default of an investment-grade-rated mortgage bond," Mr. Paulson says. "Mortgage experts were too caught up" in the housing boom.

Property in India

Property in NEW DELHI: Global PE major Carlyle is eyeing a larger share of the booming realty business in India. The fund, one the largest private equity funds in the world with more than $75.6 billion of assets under management, is looking to make entity-level investments in real estate companies in India.

While most PE funds are looking to exposure only in specific projects floated by real estate companies, Carlyle is keen on buying stake in the parent company. Since real estate as a sector continues to be largely unorganised in India, funds shy away from taking stake in the parent company and prefer to buy stakes in specific FDI- compliant projects.

Though an exact figure is not known, sources say that Carlyle is keen on having a significant exposure into the real estate sector and is looking at an allocation of about Rs 600-800 crore out of the existing Asia fund. It is not known whether Carlyle will buy stakes only in listed real estate companies or will also have unlisted companies in its portfolio.

In either case, the fund will buy only minority stakes in real estate companies in India. “The buyout fund can invest at enterprise level viz developers. The fund is looking at a sizeable exposure in the sector,” said a source. Carlyle MD Rajeev Gupta declined to comment.

which is investing in India through its $1.8 billion Asia buyout fund and several sectoral funds, has made only one significant investment till now. It has invested $650 million in financial services company HDFC. But according to the Thomson Financial data, Carlyle has been making investments in India since 2000 and till now has struck 21 deals.

This year alone, besides HDFC, the fund has bought stake in Allsec Technologies, Elitecore Technologies and Great Offshore. The fund also has stake in SSKI Investor Services where it has invested over $3 million in two rounds of funding, according to the Thomson Financial data.

Compared to its competitor Blackstone, Carlyle has not managed to strike that many big deals. In the past one year, Blackstone has struck five deals totalling $749 million including the buyout of BPO firm Intelenet for $109 million. The fund has also invested $275 million in Eenadu group, $150 million in Nagarjuna Construction, $165 million in Gokaldas Exports and $50 million in Emcure Pharmaceuticals.

Real estate as a sector has never had it so good. In the last few years, most global funds have been looking at huge India exposure. Merrill Lynch forecasts that the Indian realty sector will grow from $12 billion in 2005 to $90 billion by 2015. Some of the global financial institutions that are aggressively looking to invest in India’s real estate space include Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, Trikona, Duestche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Wachovia Corporation and Warbus Pincus. Experts say the total corpus with these funds for real estate alone is $12-15 billion.

Property in MUMBAI: Urban development minister S Jaipal Reedy on Thursday said the Centre was keen to encourage setting up of regulators for the real estate sector at the state level. The first such body may be set up for NCR within six months.

“The regulators would address the concerns of consumers and developers. These could be quasi-judicial bodies,” Mr Reddy told reporters on the sidelines of Ficci-organised International Real Estate Summit. Industry officials attributed the government’s plan to set up real estate regulators to its concerns over the malpractice in the sector.

“We will set up a regulator in Delhi which would serve as a model for other states to emulate,” Mr Reddy said, adding that the land price and other matters might not be included under the jurisdiction of the body.

his is because the Centre while facilitating the creation of state-level regulators would not interfere with the state’s constitutional authority concerning land matters. The minister said that the land is a state subject so there cannot be a pan-India authority. “But we will encourage this plan while giving assistance to state governments under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission,” he added.

Home buyers feel often cheated with price, floor area and proper documentation. Developers face difficulties in procuring lands and executing their projects. Mr Reddy says that states have requested the Centre to increase grant through viability gap funding for the development of mass rapid transit system to 30-35%.
