Pankaj Kapoor, MD at Laises Foras said that the property market is witnessing the marginally positive growth. He said that the realty prices will not rise up drastically now. "The current market is end users driven. The investors are no more in realty market now. Therefore, it has been witnessing the steady and slow growth. Besides, even the current property prices are so high that the people are unable to afford the houses in Mumbai city. The majority of sale is taking place in MMR particularly in Kalyan, Panvel, Ulwe locations where people can buy the house at Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore bracket. Most of these sale are reportededly happening in the ready to occupy apartments. In under construction projects, the 12 per cent GST is the main hindrance for the buyers," said Kapoor.
He added that, the developers are under huge debt, therefore in coming days the desperate develoeprs may also bring down the prices to dispose of their pilled up stock. "The profit margin of the developers are reduced from 35 per cent to 10 per cent to 20 per cent. It varies project to project and location to locations," Kapoor added.

"However, we are confident that this bad time will also get over soon. Government also need to help the industry in tough times. They have to slash the exorbitant taxes making buying house as an affordable to buyers," said Bhaviskar.
