The origins of Indian Property Market Bubble can be traced to the interest rate reductions made by the NDA coalition government in the years following 2001. Home Loan Rates fell to a (then) historical lows of 7.5% in early 2004. This prepared the basis for the massive increase in real estate property prices across India. Low interest rates triggered huge interest in individuals to borrow to own their own homes and this triggered an increase in demand for real estate across India.

The Indian Property Market has been growing fast since March 2005, when the current UPA government decided to open FDI in Real Estate. The market has been growing at a dizzying rate of 100%+,and further[citation needed]

Real estate in Indian metropolises such as Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai has sky rocketed to levels comparable with international cities like London.

One remarkable point is the real-estate boom in Chennai and its suburbs, leading to high prices in decent housing and then finally prices dropped. For example, an apartment of 1500 square foot in a Chennai suburb will cost around USD 200,000, whereas in Europe similar size costs about USD 450,000. In a class A suburb of New York you can buy a large house for around same amount (450K). Per capita ratio is around 50:1 ($50,000 to $1100); this suggests the presence of a bubble.


However, speculations aside housing prices depend a lot on various factors such as the age of the property, facilities, surrounding area etc. Hence, the property bubble will burst for the places bought over priced with no stronghold value to it.

Some have suggested that given India`s population density is closer to that of Europe than that of America the real value of Indian Real Estate should be close to European levels rather than American levels. When looked at in that way Indian real estate is still cheap. This argument assumes the rapid economic growth in India will have brought per capita income in India to European levels within the next 5 years in urban areas.

Contra argument to this is US prices should ideally move with economy/inflation rate of 2-3% while Indian prices will gallop at the rate of 10% a year and probably more as the land distribution market is inefficient.

By its very definition a bubble is a short term phenomenon while Indian real estate market has continued on a secular upward trend, apart from periodic adjustments, in the last 10 years. Bear in mind that there are almost 400 million Indians waiting to hit the middle class group and they will exert additional pressure on the system. Affordability is the most important factor when it comes to housing prices and middle class housing is much levels of affordability in most of the major cities in India. People who compare India with developed European cities, forget the huge difference in affordability in both areas. Of course there is a huge demand for housing but they can only buy what they can afford.

One of the big problem of real-estate market is that supply lags behind demand by about 5 years (Plan-Approve-Finance-Construct time).

Lack of efficient signals to market participants means that there will be periods of mismatch between suppliers and buyers hence leading to cycles of booms and busts.

As of May 1st 2008, the Indian housing market has already started declining. Prices have started to drop to some extent in few major cities.

2 week back it was at 300. You should have exit that time. Real estate sector will be out of attention from traders and investrs after some. After that it will be stagnant for long period. Incase it bounces back to 300 due to short covering rallies get out and try to minimize losses and put money in good quality stock....

Firstly, the person is talking US Dollars and not INR. What is the use of taking a 200000 lakh loan today to buy a house in India. Those who take such amount of loan typically take it to stay in the house.

First change your mindset and write in $.

For example, you take of loan of USD500,000. What you should see is the % reurn you get annually, it should be equal to or more than bank rate of say 10%. So for a property of $700,000, the rental should be about $70000 pa. Whether you take the loan for 5, 10 ro 25 years is not relevant here and so is the amount of loan. If the rental is below $70000 then your house, if mortgaged, has potential to become subprime case.

DLF requests Haryana to refund licence fees worth Rs 235 crore
========================================

NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH: In a bid to seemingly boost its cash reserves, DLF, India’s largest real estate company, has requested the Haryana government
to refund licence fees worth Rs 235 crore for various commercial and residential projects in Gurgaon. The company refused to respond to an email query sent by ET.

In two separate letters to the state government’s director of town and country planning department, DLF requested the authority to refund the licence as well as the scrutiny fees for commercial and residential projects in various sectors of Gurgaon.

Developers usually acquire agricultural land from farmers and pay the government a conversion fee, or a fee for change of usage of land, and a licence fee seeking permission to construct a commercial or residential project on the land. The government also charges a nominal scrutiny fee, which is a kind of a processing fee. The licence fee is higher for commercial projects.

The Haryana government charges licence fees of Rs 6.70 lakh per acre for group housing and Rs 2.15 crore for commercial projects with a floor area ratio (FAR or actual developable space) of 1.50 and Rs 2.70 crore per acre for FAR of 1.75, one of the highest such fees levied in the country.

DLF has sought refund for about 110 acre comprising 16 commercial projects in almost as many sectors, including 57 acre in sector 88 and 14 acre in sector 89. The company has sought complete or partial withdrawal of licence fee in the scheduled projects.

Similarly, in another letter to the government, DLF has sought refund of licence and scrutiny fees worth Rs 8.6 crore for multiple projects spread over 103 acre in Gurgaon. The company has not given any specific reason for withdrawal of licence applications in either case, but only mentioned that the licences were pending and were formally being withdrawn.

Even as realty players are struggling with a cash crunch, DLF chairman K P Singh on Tuesday said that the company faces no liquidity issues. However, he added that some projects have been deferred and some jobs cut due to weak demand.
Seeking a refund of licence fee is not an ordinary way of shoring up liquidity at any firm.

Changed usage of land and the licence to construct a project on it is what differentiates raw land from development land. Development land fetches far higher value than a piece of agricultural land. In India, getting these licences is a mammoth task.

Several multi-million dollar foreign investments, which came into the realty sector in the past few years, attached a huge premium to the land. Developers` equity was mostly limited to the land. The ability to obtain licences for construction in Indian is what put developers in a strong position vis-a-vis other investors, including private equity players. ...

Sir,
But the EMI depend on the tenure of the loan...
Say a person(call him A) has taken a loan of 200000 rupees for 5 years
and his EMI is 5000 and the rent he is getting is 3000
.
Say an other person(Call him B) takes the same amount of loan of 200000 rupees for a 20 year period and his EMI works out to around
2000 and the rent he gets is 3000
.... In the above example though both A & B are getting 3000 rupees as rent.....the same 3000 for A is substantially less than the monthly mortgage payment
....Whereas for B the 3000 rupee rent is substantially more than HIS monthly mortgage payment.
So how do we calculate and judge when the mortgage payments vary from person to person..
Or did i miss a point in your message which has a answer?

Land prices will not go down much (depending upon where the land is). They could go down by 15 to 20 percent. And in some areas only 5 to 10 percent. Of course ANYTHING WHICH WAS RIDICULOUSLY PRICED (whether plots of land being sold or apartments) will go down a lot. Apartment prices have to go down at least 25 to 30 percent from current levels or around 50 percent from peak levels....
