How inflation impacts the property rates in Patna?

 

 

It is interesting to note how most people think of inflation in Patna. The most common thought in Patna is that inflation drives up the prices of everything uniformly. This is why it is believed by Patnaites that real estate prices in Patna rise simply because the cost of everything else has also risen.

 

The fact is that the real estate prices in Patna will either fall or remain static in an inflationary economic environment. Inflation is dynamic and is largely dictated by the cost of credit. This is how it works – the cost of essentialities such as food grains and petrol rises, while the common man’s income in Patna remains the same. In other words, his spending power reduces.  Banks make a note of the fact that the baseline cost of living has increased and recalibrate their loan interest rates upward. Because the cost of borrowing has increased while incomes have remained static, people become wary of taking loans for anything – including home purchase in Patna. The natural reaction from real estate developers in Patna would be to bring property prices in Patna down so that sales pick up again. This does not happen in Patna.

 

Many developers in Patna are as dependent on the cost of borrowing as their buyers are. This is especially the case with smaller developers in Patna who have not launched many projects in Patna and have therefore not been able to create a self-sustaining churn of capital. Therefore the property rates never decline in Patna.



What are the 3 factors that determine property prices 


in Patna?

 


1) LOCATION


Location, Location and location is what matters the most in Patna real estate as far as property prices in Patna are concerned. But still prices according to locations in Patna are competitive. To put this idea through consider property prices in Patna at Patliputra colony and the new area like Gola Road. One would be surprised to find the property prices in these two localities of Patna differ by hardly 10-12% at most. Therefore indepth research of prevailing property prices in localities that suits buyer's need are very much required.


2) QUALITY ( BRAND & AMENITIES )


Property prices in Patna depends on reputation of builder too. A well known builder in Patna commands a premium of 10 -15% in property prices. Similarly real estate projects with greater amenities which are required in today's modern urban lifestyle also commands higher prices. Quality is beginning to matter more and more in Patna real estate with time and it is not only the quality of construction but quality of design, landscaping and amenities.


3) STAGE OF COMPLETION


Any real estate project in Patna takes almost 4 to 5 years to complete. And the prices keep increasing as the project progresses. At the time of launch of project the prices are the least and highest for ready to move units in the project after completion and few residents already occupying the residential complex. But discounts and offers too run all through the construction of project. Therefore buyers need to grab the right price in their favour by tracking several similar projects and their construction schedules.

WHY PROPERTY PRICES IN PATNA ARE SO HIGH ?



One of the top reason for high property prices in Patna is; " Bihar is so rural; it is least urbanized state of our country, India". Patna is the main urban center; economically and politically. 12 crores (120 million) BIHARI see Patna as dream destination to own property in a city spread in 150 square kilometers only . Non- Resident Biharis too eye Patna real estate for investment as well as second home buying. Though, net in net Non-Resident Biharis are sellers in Patna Property market, still Biharis who stay out of India and their native home is far from Patna like Madhubani, Supaul, Purnea prefer having at least a 2 BHK flat in Patna.

But for a change nowadays in Patna real estate we are hearing numerous stories of investors in Patna in distress with their money stuck in delayed projects in Patna.

 

 

 

The fact is, investing in residential real estate will NOT  get you 20-30% annual returns or double your investment in about 3-5 years any more in Patna real estate, as it did back in the golden days of 2005-2010; at least for couple of years from now.
