These Mumbai localities are driving home buyers’ crazy

Magicbricks reveals Mumbai investor’s latest love in the city which has rocked all chartbusters!

The recently released PropIndex report (Jan-Mar 2015) lists down the preferred localities for outright purchase. Interestingly, this time three new localities made their debut in most preferred locality for buying properties. These are Ulwe at fifth position, Kandivali West at sixth position and Bandra West at ninth position. 

Although it’s not the first time that Navi Mumbai has caught the eyeballs of home buyers but Ulwe’s realty story used to be heartbreaking until new government came in and Navi Mumbai Airport development sparked up the hopes again.

“Ulwe is back in action as the new government is adhered to follow the tight deadline of 2019. However, the ground reality is yet to change in the area but as investors are getting back in the market, stock is expected to move fast,” says Kaushik Shivram, one of the property dealers in Navi Mumbai

Talking about Kandivali West, property experts pointed out the qualitative projects that are coming in and the timely possession of existing projects. The sentiments are up in the areas as there is a spillover demand from Borivali as well.

Mumbaikars are finding ‘value-for-money’

Are you looking for a property in Mumbai within a modest budget range? Do you desire to shift only in a brand new home? If yes, you have to do just what other Mumbai buyers are doing.

As the builders are flocking to unlock the potential of Eastern suburbs, it seems even the buyers have realised what is the next big thing in the market. The fact is even supported by one of the research reports published by Cushman & Wakefield which clearly states that that the end-user demand remained the highest in Eastern suburbs due to the presence of good social and physical infrastructure.

It also indicated that 92 per cent of the total units launched in the first three months of 2015 were in this region only. “Majority of the project launches are between Kanjurmarg and Mulund where industrial land is being redeveloped for residential purpose,” says Irfan Alam, managing director, Trans India Realty Services.

What further worked for the region is it connectivity. “As Eastern Freeway became operational in 2014, the signal free rides to South Mumbai opened avenues of investment for small-term investors as well as builders,” adds Alam.

Today, exposure to international concepts in luxury homes has changes the very perception of what really constitutes 'luxury'.”

In fact, those who own a flat here also spend on monthly expenses almost equivalent to the rental value in terms of maintenance cost. Most of the residents are rich businessmen of international fame. Since the area has no scope of more development, the stock available now retains exclusivity tag.

Bandra West                      

Better known as ‘glam shell’, Bandra West is home to several Bollywood and TV actors. Moreover, its proximity to Bandra-Kurla Complex have brought the area in the list of most preferred localities for buying properties as well.

85% consider wife, mother before buying home

A woman is the angel of the house and can you afford to disappoint that angel? Not at all, say 85 per cent of home buyers who took our survey (80% respondents are married). The topic of the survey was ‘Would you consider a woman’s opinion (spouse, sibling, mother) before buying a house?’ The maximum number of participants emphasised on the need for jointly made decisions when it comes to decisions that involve. But is that the only reason? 

Priyanka Notaney, a sales executive with a leading Pune-based developer’s firm says, “Even if the man pays, woman is a bigger decision maker especially when the house is for end-use. If a man comes to look through the brochures and contemplate a purchase, most of the times, he does bring his wife along. Women are somehow able to conceptualise the interiors and the layout better.”

Sakshi Vasudeva, who works with IIM-Bangalore says, “Women are no more confined to homes. There is a lot of exposure- to people, lifestyles, the kind of choices available and the spend capacity is also keeping pace. Families are less rigid these days and realise that women can contribute to serious discussions as well. It is but natural that their decisions matter.”

Mumbaikars prefer Parel’s residential properties

Any housing locality close to south Mumbai, has become a raging choice of residence for Mumbaikars. Parel is no exception. However, Parel stands out from the other residential areas for its interesting mix of pocket-friendly rental accommodations on offer, new housing options, amenities being provided, good connectivity and an established social infrastructure. Naturally, people working in nearby offices and commercial areas prefer to stay in the area. On the flip side, the rental values are steadily rising, which interestingly has not dampened people's preference. Ranjit Jha, proprietor at Jha and Associates, says, “South Mumbai comprises of major business districts where people from all parts of the city travel to, every day. In comparison to other localities, Parel is an affordable option for the residence. It is a well-known fact that properties across the city are expensive. Considering these facts, home owners have very smartly raised the rent value which is still reasonably priced comparably.“

As per MagicBricks.com research, over 60 per cent localities in the city recorded a rise in rental values, wherein, Parel registered the maximum rise in rentals. The rental value of a 2-BHK apartment in Parel, sized 600-1,000 sq ft, ranges between Rs 25,000-45,000 per month.

Many corporations have moved their set ups to Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and Lower Parel, owing to the availability of quality facilities, secured parking, round-the-clock safety and good maintenance. This has resulted in a significant increase of buyer's demand for housing options in Parel. Uday, a local resident says, “Parel is located in the heart of Mumbai and is easily accessi ble from all points of the city. It has all the characteristics of a cosmopolitan area.

In pics: Mumbai real estate trends

The last quarter has definitely been a slow one for Mumbai’s real estate market. The festival of Gudi Padwa, which is generally considered one of the strongest sentiment boosters for the real estate market, couldn’t quite galvanise the market, clearly indicating the status of realty market. The Maharashtra government decided earlier on to hike the Ready Reckoner rates, by up to 15 per cent in certain circles. Fears of hike in stamp duty and registration charges dampened buyer sentiments.
The Mumbai City Index continued to drop in the Jan-Mar 2015 quarter, this time dipping by 6 per cent. In the Oct-Dec 2014 quarter the City Index had dipped by 1 per cent. On the other hand, the Listed Price Monitor, similar to the previous quarter, remained unchanged during the same period.

Supply in Mumbai remained more or less stable during the Jan-Mar 2015 quarter. This pushed the City Index down by 6 per cent.

Why Mumbai is truly a city of riches

The verdict is here! Magicbricks’ PropIndex (India Apartment Index) report has termed Mumbai to have an exorbitantly expensive real estate. The report states that Mumbaikars have made it so. Don’t believe it? Here is the proof.

According to the latest edition of Magicbricks’ PropIndex (India Apartment Index) report, the demand for properties priced above Rs 1 crore is the highest across all budget range, almost synonymous to its supply which is also at the peak.

What has pushed the demand of residential units in the higher budget range?

Property pundits are of the view that the increasing population of young and rich people has resulted in this trend. Moreover, the base value of properties in Mumbai and close suburbs is also high where per sq ft value is not less than Rs 10,000 per sq ft.
