Real Estate Market has great future because this time :
The Indian real estate sector has largely welcomed the overall effect of the budget, although saying that it could have done more for the industry.Pradeep Jain, chairman of Parsvnath Developers Ltd. told that the budget will enhance the socio-economic infrastructure of the country by giving needed emphasis to education, health and hospitality sector. The budget has, however, not fully addressed the demands of real estate industry.The concessions given to infrastructure and housing sector in rural areas are nice. Nevertheless, a drop in duties and service tax benefits directly to consumers would have propelled the demand for realty across the country. The cutback in input cost of cement, steel etc. will certainly benefit the sector.S.

With Indian real estate sector in its boom , the pertinent question at this point is, how will the deluge of funds change the real estate sector? Many feel that institutional money will make the industry much more organised.Funds have also started investing in infrastructure development as infrastructure is a constraint and may hamper growth of real estate to some extent. If opportunities are rightly identified, it will boost real estate.Private equity investments in real estate will also need to be complemented by investments in infrastructure creation. It should also support redevelopment of metros along with growth of tier-II and tier-III cities.Yet, experts say that the unabated rush of capital may not continue for long. As mentioned earlier, expected returns are currently high because demand for quality commercial space is outstripping supply. But current investments are being deployed in developing land, which will ultimately turn into actual supply in 2-3 years.once supply stabilises, investments in the sector will taper out.For more view - realtydigest.blogspot.com
