As the real estate agents may require to log on to the site for the entire year or for consecutive years, but an ordinary person who is going to buy the house once in his lifetime would only need it for one time.
Property Prices Stagnant But Not Dropping In Goa
While property prices in the country as a whole are tanking fast, real estate in Goa is presently stagnant, but are yet to go down significantly, say real estate developers. Over the last four years, Goa has attracted huge investments for holiday homes from overseas Goans, NRIs and wealthy North Indians.
Real estate operators say that property with a good sea view is always in demand. Earlier, though, properties in interior Goa with a reasonable proximity to a city were also in great demand, sending land prices soaring.
The big property boom started in 2003, and never stopped till the US-based Lehman Brothers went bankrupt late last year. For example, land prices in Panjim nearly doubled in the last year. Other places, too, have seen better-than 20 per cent annual increases.
Since October, though, real estate demand has dropped to half, owing to the global recession and statewide protests against mega-projects. This has stabilised property prices, which have reduced by a minor 5 to 10 per cent. However, the industry expects property prices to drop by 20 to 25 per cent in the coming months, especially from small developers, who are not in a position to hold on.
Many of these small developers are from Delhi and Mumbai. They joined the gold rush to develop property in Goa but have now run out of money and are left with unfinished projects, thanks to the credit crunch. They have been the first to drop rates and resort to panic sales.
Reputed developers are hurt badly, but still prefer to hold on. They feel the present slump is the result of panic, and since land with clear titles is scarce in Goa, the prices are bound to recover and stabilise, unlike in Indias big cities and metros. Consequently, even those who bought land at very high rates in the past few years are not willing to cut prices.
The next few months will tell whether they are right or wrong. Buyers, however, are very scarce at present.
So, one sees a paradoxical situation of sellers who are unwilling to drop prices, even though there are no takers for their properties. We will have to wait and see which one blinks first

[Top]Hike in Collector rates – Property market in Zirakpur suffers
Hike in Collector rates – Property market in Zirakpur suffers Owning a property in chandigarh has become a costly affair as the collector rate and the fee for getting building plan approved has been hiked by the authorities. A common man who is thinking of owning a small residential house in this region is hit badly by the hiked collector rates. Imagine, before April 1st, 2011, owning a small six Marla (150 sq yards) plot could be accomplished with the payment of Rs 75,000 (as collector rates) as compared to Rs 1,35,000 today for the same. The buyer will have to also pay Rs 45,000 for getting approval for building plan. The information about the hike is drafted on the basis of categories focused on location, for example the location of the property in concern is on the main road, on the link road, their placement in the municipal limit of Zirakpur etc. Registration rates for the land on the main road have been increased from Rs 1 cr to Rs 3.5 cr per acre. Similarly, the land rates have been fixed at Rs 1.5-2 cr per acre for the inner parts of property in zirakpur. Collector Rates Zirakpur Property LocationsPrevious NEW Main Road ( Per acre)Rs 1 cr3.5 cr Agricultural Land in Inner parts ( per acre)Rs 1.5 crRs 1.5-2 cr Commercial Property ( per sq yard)Rs 9,000Rs 18,000 Residential plots in named colony ( per sq yard) Rs 5,000Rs 9,000 Independent residential plots ( per sq yard)Rs 4,500Rs 8,000 Building Map Fees Residential Plot SizePreviousNEW 50-125 sq yardsRs 80Rs 323 flat rate for all sizes 250 sq yardsRs 213 Commercial plots All sizes Rs 350RS 2,815
For commercial properties the rates have been increased from Rs 9000 to Rs 18,000 per sq yard. The rates in approved residential colonies have been increased to Rs 9000 from Rs 5000 and for residential sites without any name of the colony; the rate has been fixed at Rs 8,000 per sq yard.
Hiking and fixing a same cost for building map approval fees for all sizes of plots will have direct impact on the property owner of small residential houses as it was Rs 80 instead of Rs 323 per sq yard now. For commercial property, there is a substantial hike in the rates; it has been increased from Rs 350 per sq yard to Rs 2,815 per sq yard. According to property consultants, -an end customer / buyer in the region would opt for flats in developments instead of plots due to hike in collector rates and building map approval fees-.
[Top]Thinking about a property refurbishment
By Felix Fortescue, property analyst.
I’m often asked whether a property refurbishment will increase the value of a property and the answer is yes – but a return on the investment is far from guaranteed!
The trouble is that the true value of a property lies chiefly in its potential as perceived by the buyer in the marketplace in terms of the potential of the real estate, rather than whether it has been refurbished or not. The buyer may not care for your property refurbishment anyway and could gut the whole place as soon as you have gone- after all, a building is just a chattel.
So ordinary people, i.e. not professional property developers, should steer well clear of the property refurbishment game unless it is purely to enhance his or her own comfort and amenity at home or work.
The situation with property refurbishments is analogous to the boy racer who installs a 500 stereo in his car and then expects the vehicle to be worth an extra 500 when it simply isn’t.
It was no surprise when recently a friend who works for Hampshire Building firm PM Building Contractors told me that most of their property refurbishment work was chiefly for the high-end customer demographic.
These customers had clearly ordered the property refurbishment work for their own home comfort rather than to enhance the value of their houses.
Although it cannot be said that the gain on the value of a property accrued by a property refurbishment will necessarily be nil, any likely gain will be disproportionate to the expense and that may be incurred.
With the idea that the true value of the property lies in the estate in the land in mind, I would suggest that the ordinary man or woman who was wondering about how to maximise the value of their property should think hard about the potential of their real estate.
Applying for outline planning permission for a whole portfolio of possibilities can make you very attractive for property developers and landlords, some of whom have vast financial resources.
A property refurbishment is merely a cosmetic measure which, while it brings comfort and enjoyment for the householder, is not part of the fundamental nuts and bolts of what your property is worth.
