Builders have already invested huge money in buying land and big construction cost. These builders are not ready to reduce prices by much. Don't expect more than 10% correction here.<BR/><BR/>2. The project started in Last year, and those will complete in year or two (God knows..) (20% complete):<BR/>These project were launched, when marketr was booming, but within few months reverse trend started. Only 10%-20% flats are sold. These projects does not come in affordable housing catagory, as they were launched 1 year back (market was not that bad). You can expect 15%-25% correction in those.<BR/><BR/>3. New Projects:<BR/>Mostly they are of 'affordable housing' catageroy (less quality???). They are launched with reduced prices by 15%-25%. <BR/><BR/>Now, what is the benchmark to say the priced are somewhat reduced. So, we need to see the average prices at same location when market was at peak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-35954440751288539882009-01-06T04:04:00.000+05:302009-01-06T04:04:00.000+05:30the first guy "why_should_builders_win_always" is ...the first guy "why_should_builders_win_always" is a builder himself and always speculate things in pune real estate, he is a good hypster.<BR/>I live in the UK, house prices here are very affordable these days because of the economic mess and secondly because sellers/builders are honest and admit the reality.<BR/>in mumbai, pune or in general in India, real estate sector is dominated by political lobby.<BR/>In the past 5-6 years, rates of properties were particularly dectated by the big politicians who had a great stake with many big builders in mumbai, pune. <BR/>all the money they invested was peoples money that they had corrupted out of their powers, so not in a hurry to get that money back as it's not their hard earned money. Hence the prices are not going down.<BR/>Personally, I am out of this whole game and prefer to live here peacefully. Things will be like this in India, it is the common people who only suffer and forced to pay for nasty prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-13134664278247773402009-01-05T14:55:00.000+05:302009-01-05T14:55:00.000+05:30Yes, I too disagree.Pune real estate is one of the...Yes, I too disagree.<BR/><BR/>Pune real estate is one of the most hyped one and lots of waves of false informations are triggered like rates have bottomed out already, builders will raise prices etc. <BR/><BR/>The thing to note that the boom in 2007-8 was supported mostly due to investors who thought buyers will follow any price.<BR/><BR/>In any market, end price is decided by end user, no matter how much middlemen, cartelers try to speculate.<BR/><BR/>I see a correction of at least 50% is needed in Pune. The only buyer will come in. Till then, either he will just keep surveying or get completely disconnected from market.<BR/><BR/>So its not a matter of hope for buyers but a matter of time before prices arrive in realistic, reasonable and affordable limits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-59912471306612240082009-01-05T12:59:00.000+05:302009-01-05T12:59:00.000+05:30I am looking to buy a 2 bed in pune soon.

I am surveying prices in Pune in the last 2 months and realised that there is no real price drop or a correction in the pune real estate as of now, 2008 is already over.<BR/>Builders are just fooling investors by spreading a word that 15-20% correction is already done, buy now.... this is a TRAP.<BR/>We have elections due in March-April 09. Post elections, there is a great crash expected in public and private/corporate sector in terms of job layoffs, as this slowdown will not be over by that time and more and more pepole will loost jobs in June-July 09.<BR/>Your buyer is bankcorrupt in next year, Who is going to buy then???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-61406731041875479152009-01-04T22:44:00.000+05:302009-01-04T22:44:00.000+05:30Completely agree.

(don't know yet, but as of now looks good)... 2008 was quite uncertain and thankfully most of us didn't buy. Start of 2009, goes to buyers. I know most of us have studied some of their dream projects, and have certain pricing done for that. Go for it, you will definitly get good deal..<BR/>Also, don't try to find bottom now.. you'll never know when did it passed away.. All The Best!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
