REAL ESTATE NEWS :
Hike in ready reckoner rates may spike cost: Maharashtra realtors
Developers say that the prices of property will not go down, instead they will further rise in the wake of fresh hike in ready reckoner (RR) rates announced by the Maharashtra government on Tuesday. RR rates are used to calculate the minimum registration and stamp duty charges paid at the time of registering the property.
It is also the rate fixed by the government below which sale of property cannot happen in the given area. The RR rates have gone up by up to 20% in Mumbai, which means outgo of higher stamp duty for home buyers. In Pune, the rates have touched a maximum of 20%.
According to developers, all the government-related charges like stamp duty, registration, taxes, etc, that used to account for 12-15% of the cost of an apartment, will now rise to 15-18%. Worse, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) does not acknowledge these costs in the home loans disbursed to customers, which means an added burden on home buyers.
Real estate NPAs worth Rs 7,000 cr up for sale: Report
An estimated R7,700-crore worth of residential and commercial properties as non-performing assets (NPAs) with banks and fi-nancial institutions are up for sale. Maharashtra — largely due to Mumbai — tops the list on both commercial and residential properties’ NPAs, according to data compiled by NPAsource.com. The online portal has total NPA properties worth around R27,500crore registered from 27,626 units, of which, 2,200 are in the commercial category and nearly 11,000 in the residential segment, it said.
The biggest chunk of NPA properties fall under the indus-trial land & building category, with a 65% plus share in value terms. State-wise, Maharashtra tops the list of most num-ber of NPAs, with 563 units worth R842 crore in commer-cial properties and 2,492 units worth R838 crore in residen-tial properties, NPAsource.com said. Delhi comes next with R686-crore worth of NPA commercial and NPA residential properties worth R500 crore.
Mumbai office realty: Western sub-urbs new growth centre
Looking back on 2013, the prevailing attitude among businesses toward the economy was “wait and see. The decision to take up more real estate office space was mostly put on hold; or companies aggressively looked to bring down their costs. Corporates put their investment decisions on hold, waiting to see how the economic sce-nario unfolds especially in light of the forth-coming national elec-tions.
With this backdrop of uncertainty, commercial real estate in Mum-bai produced mixed results. Office take-up in Mumbai in 2013 was recorded at 4.76 million sq. ft., which was 21 per cent lower as compared to the previous year. The first half of 2013 was notably stronger than the second half, but the whole year was marked by a lack of large leasing transactions.
After a lull, Gujarat’s real estate sector has started looking up and is reflected in the government’s income from the stamp duty and registration fee going up this year. The collections had been in the negative last year largely due to discounts and hopes that the market will revive in coming months.
As compared to last year’s average monthly collection of Rs 209 crore from April to October, the government collected Rs 396 crore per month in the same period this year.
“Investors and buyers have started investing again as they feel that the market rate will increase soon after LokSabha elections,” says YogeshBhavsar the president of Gujarat Institute of Housing and Es-tate Developers (GIHED).
Jaxay Shah, vice-president of the Confederation of Real Estate De-veloper’s Associations of India (CREDAI), says, “The good monsoon has revived the industry.”
Realty market is very sensitive in today’s scenario and any increase in borrowing cost will lead to consumer disappointment. However, we also understand that strict measures are required to curb the burning inflation and Rupee fall, but it is also equally important to keep other aspects of economy while taking strategic decisions. Al-though, looking at the strong fundamentals of the Indian economy and its robust growth, all these seem to be temporary.
With the continuous increase in the buying power of Indians, resi-dential property demand is going to be significantly high for the next 25 years. Also, one always has to keep in mind that Indian real estate market is very dynamic and different places have their own trends. Like in some mega cities, there is a clear problem of excess inventories which cannot be backed up by demand. But, cities like Ahmedabad, which have seen significant growth, will continue to be a fruitful territory for the coming decades. To be honest, commer-cials are a little weak, as it is more driven by economical and market sentiment, but it will be back to its full swing soon.

DENVER – For the third consecutive year, RE/MAX University (RU) has been recognized as one of the best among corporate-sponsored training programs, capturing a place on Training magazine’s Top 125 list. The 14th annual survey ranked excellence in employer-spon-sored training and development programs tied to corporate strategic goals and measurable results.
“Our high level of training and support for RE/MAX agents and our Broker/Owners is what sets us apart from our competitors,” said Mike Ryan, RE/MAX Executive Vice President, RE/MAX, LLC. “We believe RU training programs improve the performance of our agents and enhance their customer service.”
RU is a proprietary online resource that offers on-demand 24/7 access to training opportunities for more than 90,000 RE/MAX Af-filiates around the world, delivering HD quality video programs and online training for viewing on multiple devices. Most programs are available at no cost.
RE/MAX agents lead the industry in professional designations/cer-tifications, with over 70,000 courses taken at home or in the of-fice through the use of RU. RE/MAX values high quality training and makes continuing education a priority to ensure the success of all RE/MAX agents and offices.
That success was proven once again this year, in top real estate industry surveys, which showed RE/MAX agents to be among the industry’s top performers. The RISMedia Power Broker Report and the REAL Trends 500 survey both showed that RE/MAX agents were the most productive when ranked by closed transaction sides among the national real estate franchises.
RE/MAX debuts new mobile-ready website
RE/MAX LLC has re-launched the company’s website with a sim-plified user interface and data on more than 87 million properties nationwide — both homes for sale and previously sold.
Remax.com is “mobile-ready and tablet-friendly,” and the company claims it’s the first franchisor to provide a consistent Web experi-ence across desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Users can tap and swipe through oversized photos of property list-ings — a “Quiet Mode” even allows them to turn off other content on a page to focus on the large-scale images. Lead forms for RE/MAX agents are prominently displayed on listing detail pages.
