'The decline in supply is a result of cautious approach and shifting priorities by developers. Financially robust developers with strong balance sheet look to launch premium homes in order to increase their profit margin. As a result, supply of homes under Rs 50 lakh has seen a consistent decline due to its unviability. Meanwhile, homes priced between Rs 1-2 crore have not only seen a 17% Y-o-Y growth in supply but also its supply share increasing from 18% to 23%.'
'With home loan rates hovering around 8-8.5%, the recent reduction of 50bps in repo rate by the RBI will further drive down the home loan rates thereby providing an impetus in the Rs 50L-2cr priced homes in tier 2 cities," said Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity.
