Dear All,
Just wanted add few important inputs...
As you may already know... two important shopping malls...
“Grand Venice” by Bhasin Group, in Sector Site-IV and “Connaught Place”
by Omaxe group, in Sector Beta II... are stated to become operational
in the next few months. Once both the malls are operational (by second half of
this year)... both, long-term investors and end users, are bound to take Greater
Noida city with increasing seriousness.
Couple these developments with expected start of operations
of “Greater Noida Metro” by second half of 2017... there is no doubt, both,
businesses (industrial & commercial) and home seekers will start shifting to
Greater Noida in increasing numbers.
Please don’t get it wrong.... I’m NOT saying at 100% buyers
in NCR and nearby areas... will move to Greater Noida. All I’m saying is that...
given current property prices in Greater Noida... increasing high quality
infrastructure... and close proximity to Delhi... especially when compared to
other parts of NCR... a significantly large number of people, will increasing
and seriously start considering to move their residence to Greater
Noida.
It is also important to take into account... in not so far
future... the availability of land is going to get increasingly difficult... and
therefore, the existing land... for individual houses, industries and commercial
activities... is bound to fetch higher premiums. But, not so much for group
housing... already 1.5 lakh flats are under construction in Noida Extension...
and after the recent supreme court judgement... authority will soon allot enough
land to builders for constructing 3 lakh more flats.
Being a real-estate professional and keen observer of
“Noida-Greater Noida-Yamuna Expressway” belt... I’m more than confident... in
fact, I’m 100% certain... not withstanding current slowdown in reality sector
(in most parts of the country)... the stretch/belt adjoining upcoming metro line
and upcoming posh sectors in Noida and Greater Noida... will witness
increasingly higher end-user settlement and above average growth in property
prices in next couple of years.
Similar to stock market... when it comes to real-estate
sector... the guru mantra is... “Buy Cheap, Sell Expensive”.
Well, now is the best time to buy. There is no doubt that we
have touched the bottom. I’m confident that come September-October... there will
be clear indications of moderate improvement in prices... in increasing number
of pockets/colonies/sectors in National Capital Region. That said... I’m certain... by September-October this
year... given that the construction of Greater Noida Metro will be in full
swing... the property prices in and around the metro line and in select sectors
in Noida and Greater Noida... will cease to fall and start
appreciating.
My honest suggestion to fence-sitters, waiting for the
prices to fall further so that they can buy at cheapest possible price... please
seriously start looking for appropriate long-term investments. No doubt, we at
the bottom of the last real-estate cycle (have been for quite some time).
Desperate deals have now almost dried up. And there are now clear indicators,
that the prices will start moving northwards (@ different pace in different
locations).
My two cents... Good Luck!
Regards,
Safal Suri
