Will govt stamp boost the prospects of property segment?

BrixResearch Moderator says: The big-wigs of property segment like DLF and Omaxe have been asking for an industry status for the property segment. Currently, property is considered as an ‘industry segment’ only. On the other hand, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has recommended setting up of a national infrastructure implementation and monitoring agency. This stature will ensure more funds and active fund regulation into the sector.

Will all these measures boost the prospectus of real estate segment?

Is it good to buy property when the market is slow?

BrixResearch Moderator says: The number of property transactions may have dwindled but the market hasn’t comer to a halt as yet. Buyers are very careful of where they are putting their money. In fact property analysts have been telling buyers that this is the best time to buy property as the prices are very affordable. This goes with the assumption that when the markets get back in shape then these properties will shell out profits in terms of buy-back value or rentals.

Do you agree with this? Do you also believe that a slow market is the best opportunity?

Will freebies boost property sales?

BrixResearch Moderator says: Property builders have lined up a series of lucrative offers to boost sales. Some are offering free Mercedes or BMW, or at least a few gold coins to lure buyers. In some cases, even a small flat is being thrown into the deal for those eyeing premium segment bungalows.

Will these offers pull new buyers into the market? Do such marketing tactics work well in a stagnant market?
