Bengaluru: The Central Government’s decision to demonetise high value currency notes Rs 500 and Rs 1000 has not affected the real estate business in the city.
“The expectation that real estate prices will come down with this announcement is mere exaggeration. The market in Bengaluru has seen a correction recently and is currently one of the most attractively priced markets in the country,” said Irfan Razack, Chairman & Managing Director, Prestige Group.

J.C. Sharma, president, Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI), Bengaluru and Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Sobha Ltd, argued that the demonetisation move will eventually result in interest and lending rates coming down making housing more affordable to all in the long run.

Most of the big developers are bullish and claimed that the post-demonetisation disruption would affect business for this quarter or in a worst case scenario the next too, but expect no drop in realty prices.

M R Jaishankar, Chairman and Managing Director, Brigade Group, was the lone dissenter, warning of a contraction of the market till June 2017. “Like we developers have turned cautious, buyers will also be cautious before investing their life’s savings. The realty sector in the city had already been facing a tough time for the past 14 months. Business has dropped by around 25 per cent. The market may see a correction of three to five per cent. This is the time to tighten belts,” he said.
