PRESS RELEASE

18% Homebuyers Prefer New Launch Homes Against Previous 5%: ANAROCK Consumer Sentiment Survey

  • RERA implementation & lower GST revive consumer faith in new launches; 36% of buyers still prefer ready-to-move-in units
  • Lower prices influenced >50% homebuyers to purchase homes in 2018; nearly 52% would buy again with the same developer
  • End-user-driven Bangalore saw 44% of respondents buy homes for investment
  • 70% of prospective buyers prefer properties under INR 80 lakh
  • Tier 2 & 3 cities new investment hotspots; Bangalore favourite investment destination for NRIs

Mumbai, 24 April 2019:  While ready-to-move-in homes remained the preferred choice for several homebuyers, new launches (which drew the least consumer interest in the previous survey) saw a decent revival according to ANAROCK’s Consumer Sentiment Survey H1 2019.

Over 18% of respondents now prefer new launch properties as against mere 5% in the previous survey.

Interestingly, 44% NRIs would now consider new launch properties over under-construction (to be completed in 1 year) or ready-to-move-in homes (obviously a welcome development for developers facing funding issues due to previously negligible advance sales).

  • Approx. 8,574 keys to hit the market in 2019; nearly 19% increase over the last 2 years
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR) sees 17% growth between 2016 and 2018
  • Average daily rates saw a 6.25% rise in 2018, faster than 4.5% long-term inflation rate
  • Goa saw the largest signing of keys in 2018 at nearly 2,209 keys, eclipsing Bengaluru by just 192 keys
  • Hotel transaction volume hit an all-time low in 2018 at INR 5,354 mn since 2007; 2019 likely to witness the sale of high-value hotel assets valued USD 800 mn across key markets 

Mumbai, 10 April 2019: With demand finally outpacing supply, the Indian hospitality industry is on an upswing. The ‘India Hospitality Industry Review 2018’ report by HVS ANAROCK predicts RevPAR to grow by 9.5% in 2019.

Interestingly, Q1 2019 itself saw unexpected growth in the India hotel industry. The successful transaction of the Leela Hotels & Keys portfolio in Q1 2019 set a healthy tone for the start to the year, and trends indicating that 2019 could see transaction volumes reach around USD 800 mn.
