Dear moderators/ veterans/ seniors;
I joined IREF about six months back and this forum seemed to be buzzing with activity. We had a good number of sticky threads, lots of queries and inputs about progress of various projects, analysis of pros and cons, reasonability of rates, members seeking advice about proposed transactions, details of recent transactions and so on. And of course, different POVs and inevitable arguments. Also, most of the time, Noida forum typically had the largest number of visitors.
I've noticed that, of late, all this has changed. Most of the posts are staid. The number of sticky threads is down. Only infrequent inputs on proposed transactions and actual deals. Only a few threads get posts every day. Queries go unanswered for weeks. The number of visitors appears to be dropping.
Is this reflection of the RE market of Noida? Or any reason? For a major RE centre of the country, perhaps this level of activity is rather low.
Your views are requested for a proper appreciation of the change which I've noticed in a short span of time.
Thanks in advance.

NCR : Myth of Inventory Overhang - It's all about Micro-markets
IREF is getting boring with same old rants and project-specific circular discussions - so here are some provocative thoughts because it's a lazy Sunday afternoon :-)
Upfront apology about the misleading subject - it's true there are close to 1.5 lac unsold flats in NCR as of Nov'15.
However, this headline number hides the fact that bulk of this inventory (60%) is concentrated in only 2 categories viz.
1. Currently uninhabitable as well as distant** places like Dwarka Expressway (approx. 20,000 flats unsold).
OR
2. Highly-congested and relatively distant** micromarkets like Greater Noida West (approx. 60,000 flats unsold).
Focusing only on areas like main Gurgaon / Noida / Faridabad, or even main Greater Noida with their current absorption rates of approx. 25,000 flats annually, we're looking at barely 3 years of inventory overhang.
Historically inventory levels in NCR have averaged 2 years and with even a hint of rate cuts e.g. 2002-5, 2008-11, etc. - property prices have risen followed soon by economic good times e.g. 2004-7, 2010-11, etc. Today, interest rates have started to drop and the economy is soft with pick-up expected within 1-2 years.
Conclusion: If you're middle class or a young professional looking to start a family, 2016 is crucial to getting the home of your dreams in a middle-class location 40 minutes (max.) of work or school / college **distance within Rs. 5000-6000 PSF budget.

Seven Bungalows / Andheri, Mumbai : Ongoing Rates of Sea Facing Flats
Hello all.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm based overseas and about a week ago, a contact in Mumbai called about an 1br sea-facing apt in Andheri 's Seven Bungalows area. Very cagey about revealing specifics. Says he doesn't want the word getting out and other brokers making moves. Whatever ,said I !
The basics he did mention were that its one of the older sea front buildings in Seven Bungalows. Supposed to be between the stretch starting at "dariya mahal" and going towards Yari Road.
What we know so far - 1 b/r , approx. 600'ish sq/ft . Question is , whats the avg rate for that area and what's a fair premium per/sqft for a sea-facing property ? Took a look at the at the "Avg Rates" thread, and Andheri (W) comes up at an "average" of 22000/sqft. But people are also questioning the accuracy/ methodology used to come up with those number , So........can anyone help out ?
Thanks in advance guys .

So, can someone please advise me whether this rate is fine? Can I invest here?

Indore: Investment Options For a Plot near Vijay Nagar or Super Corridor
Hi All,
Kindly help me:
I am planning to buy plot in Indore which is near to Vijay Nagar OR Bombay Hospital OR Super Corridor. Basically i am not from Indore (quite way back my family was in Indore) but currently we are settled in Pune.
Kindly please help which Colony OR Society i must consider to buy plots from the Investment Purpose (which will not create any problem of legal) because i heard in pune many issues of initially builders take money and later cannot build and take lot of time adjusting within the landowners.
Kindly suggest me the area i should buy Plot and in which Colony. To be honest i came to about some places near Pipliyahana, Nariman City, Omaxe and SilverSpring from the forums i was reading.
Actually my budget is not more than 30 - 32 Lakhs. Please kindly suggest where i can buy 1500 SqFeet to 1800 SqFeet plot from the investment purpose and in good locality so that can think of return in another 5 - 6 years.
Thanks in Advance. -
