Indian Property – A Wise Investment?
Property in India is termed as the ‘next big thing’ amongst seasoned international property investors. With the recent liberalisation of property ownership laws, Indian property offers a winning blend of fantastic environment and great investment returns.The real estate sector in India has changed dramatically in the last couple of years. With the growth of real estate the market of real estate property search engines are also growing with every rising day.
Indian properties have performed well recently and the expectation is that this is just the start of Indian property rush. Indian real estate sector is booming. The returns at 10 to 13 percent per annum are almost 50 percent higher than those in the US and Europe and the current demand far outstrips availability in several metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. In fact Bangalore, Pune and Goa are also coming up as very attractive investment destinations.Also the office space in India is worth something because India is in the list of the topmost countries which are developing fastly. So the upcoming destination of all multinational companies is India. All this made Indian real estate buisness worth crores.
As the real estate prices are touching the rooftop and costs of flats have gone up to Rs.50,000 and Rs.70,000 per square foot in Mumbai and Rs.1 lakh per square yard in Gurgaon, the question arises whether there is a bubble building in the Indian property market. According to a U.N. report, even though the collapse of the speculative property market could be more devastating than a stock market crash, there is no bubble as yet in the Asia Pacific region.
The real estate prices, along with the runaway rise in the prices of gold and the stock market has somewhat made investors nervous. According to a real estate agent Mumbai, when a flat in Mumbai fetches a better price than a similar flat in New York, certain questions arise about sustaining the trend. It also said that with the property prices softening in developed countries, investors are likely to look for profitable avenues in the Asia Pacific region.
In principle, there is nothing wrong in borrowing to buy real estate for investment rather than for owner occupation. The action can be regarded as rational profit-seeking behaviour as long as borrowers are able to sell at a profit. However, the buying becomes speculative when people begin to borrow to buy, regardless of price or of their ability to service the debt, in the expectation of selling at an even higher price. Since prices cannot rise forever, some speculative buyers will inevitably take a loss. Losses on assets purchased with debt generate systemic risk that might affect the health of the financial system, and that is why real estate bubbles or potential bubbles have policy implications for Government and Central banks.

Invest in Mumbai Property Market
The occupancy levels in locations such as Andheri East and Nariman Point have also increased considerably in the last few months. The occupancy rate is 90 to 95 per cent which is quite high. A Mumbai Real Estate Developer, Ranjan S, said, “There is a new trend that has set in Mumbai which is quite recent. Due to high traffic congestions, high cost of living many are slowly leaving Mumbai and giving away their homes for rent. This is the same case with mall and other commercial establishments. Someone invests in the building not to start any establishment but the sole purpose of buying it is to lend it to a tenant who will pay an high amount of rent. A single-bed room flat in Mumbai’s posh area would fetch a rent of around Rs 12,000 a month. Pre-leased properties with high profile tenants are the most favored real estate investment options.”
Just to give an example of how Mumbai remains to be one of the preferred cities and its impact on the real estate arena, look at these statistics. In 2003, a land in Colaba would cost Rs 56, 850 per sq mt while now in 2006, the price has shot up to Rs 62,500. Worli, another high traffic location in Mumbai, was priced Rs 43, 850 per sq mt in 2003, and in 2006 the rate is gone up by Rs 48,250 per sq mt. The posh of the lot,

Property for Rent in Mumbai
Bona fide effect of booming real estate can easily be seen in Mumbai where prices of property are going up thereby making more difficult to purchase property, adding more agony for already suffering consumers. Industry watchers averred that the evaluation is disgustingly excessive and the property greatly overvalued
Interested ones are just waiting for the market to cool down a little. Buying property, at present with prices rising at such a high speed, is not such a good idea, but its better to look for a property on Rent. So, while some wait for their chance to come, others see no other alternative than to pray for the prices to fall down.

Rise in Prices of Properties in Mumbai
Experts of property industry believe that Mumbai property market, especially residential, may see a softening trend in near future.
Prices may drop by between 5 to 15 percent in coming days. This is after a large rise in prices in the last few years and the recent increases in home loan interest rates that may have an impact on demand. Over the course of last twelve months the interest rate over home loans haven gone up from 7.75% for fixed rates last year to 12% now.
While this trend is expected to impact the mass market, it may not have an impact on the premium residential market in Mumbai due to scarcity of top-end properties.1
