Will Chennai home/property prices fall?

ET had a write-up that home prices are likely to fall by a few percentage points in Delhi and Mumbai. There is definitely high inventory in those areas and builders have to cut home prices to clear inventory, but is that likely to happen to real estate in Chennai as well?

Chennai Home Prices

In the last two months or so we have noticed a slow down in land registrations (not price decline, but less sales). RBI’s interest rate hike and some unsold inventory could eventually bring down price a little, but it won’t be as bad as in Delhi or Mumbai. Here’s why…

Of the 4 states in South India, Tamil Nadu is the only stable place that is favorable for industries. Telangana issue in Andhra is keeping new businesses away. Kerala has labor issues and efficiency is quite low. Bangalore in Karnataka is great for IT, but it’s just that. That leaves Chennai as a favorable urban destination for new industries and businesses, which in-turn should translate to a decent home sales and rental market.

Are buildings in Chennai earthquake resistant?

If you ask the high-rise builders, they’ll say ‘yes’. Most small time builders don’t even know what it means. But the good news is that Chennai is in a Zone II area, which means you can expect earthquakes of only upto 4.9 on the Richter scale. An earthquake of 4.9 may not be as damaging as the Mar 2011 Japan earthquake, but depending on the epicenter, it could damage a lot of properties.

The local paper, The Hindu, carried an article on Chennai and earthquakes and it sounds a little scary. The key take away from the article is

- There’s no certification required for buildings to be earthquake resistant
- There’s no department in the city to certify that a building is earthquake resistant

So, we are left with builders ‘code of ethics’ to make sure that their buildings withstand a reasonable earth quake. With many builders interested in making a quick buck and taking short cuts such as thinnner walls, poor cement to sand ratio, shorter curing span, etc. you wonder which builder really took the effort to make their buildings earthquake resistant.
