  • Markets LIVE - Realty Sector's reality: What experts think?   

    A surge in post-pandemic pent-up demand helped India's property market overcome risks from rising interest rates this year but the dream run might face hurdles from global headwinds in 2023.

    COMMERCIAL BREAK

    Any moderation in growth will mark a premature end to what industry watchers believe to be the start of a "long-term upcycle" in the Indian real estate sector.

    The optimism emanates from record housing sales this year, surpassing the pre-COVID 2019 numbers and the previous high of 2014.

    "2022 proved to be a successful year for the residential real estate market as momentum of sales and consolidation of players continued," property consultant Anarock's Chairman Anuj Puri said.

    Fundamentally, the market is much more mature and stable than it was prior to the pandemic, he told PTI.

    Puri said he is "hoping that 2023 calendar year is as vibrant as 2022 for the residential market, provided the headwinds of possible global recession, high inflation and interest rates and Covid resurgence doesn't become a spoilsport."

    Realtors' apex body CREDAI's President Harsh Vardhan Patodia said he expects "strong and positive momentum to prevail in the Indian real estate market".

    The International Monetary Fund has projected the global economy to shrink by 0.2 per cent in 2023. This would mean investment flows to developing economies from rich nations will slow. Many emerging markets and low-income countries are already facing pressures from a depreciating currency, capital outflows and inflation.

    Nifty Realty share fell on Thursday tracking movement of the overall markets. In the 10-stock index, 3 advanced. Sobha, Sunteck and Prestige were the gainers. The losers were Godrej Properties, Oberoi Realty and DLF.
