Koyambedu bus terminus is getting too congested… more buses than what can be parked and general traffic congestion is causing a lot of traffic woes. CMDA’s announcement of a new and larger bus terminus at Vandalur is great news. A bit late, but better late than never. It sticks to our tradition of waiting till a problem happens and then solving it. Just as how we build flyovers at traffic junctions way after they become highly congested. In any case, this is a much needed progress.
This project should also see Vandalur properties appreciate a bit as infrastructure projects are main drivers for property appreciation in India.

This week, Live Mint (a WSJ partner in India) had an article detailing the nuances with selling property inherited by NRIs.
For the complete article, see link at the end of this post. In short, here’s what needs to be done…
- Transfer title to your name using a will or succession certificate
- Collect recent sale deed and parent docs
- If the house is in a community, get a Co-op certificate, No objection certificate and Occupation certificate
Rest is the regular sales process of hiring an agent and finding buyers.

While property prices keep going up in OMR, rental of certain type of homes is not catching up because of huge supply.
6 to 8 months ago, apartment prices in Sholinganallur was around 4000 to 4200 per SF, today it is hovering around 5000 per SF. Similarly, another of our favorite location, Medavakkam, has seen prices go up from 3600 per SF to 4500 per SF in the last one year.
Plenty of builders are creating a huge supply of homes in OMR, which puts pressure on rental rates. 2BHKs are able to hold their rent quite well because of their demand since most renters are usually young and have smaller families, so they prefer a 2BHK. But 3BHKs are having to drop their rent significantly to get renters. In many complex, the rental difference between 2 and 3BHKs is just 1k. This situation will change, but only when the supply/demand situation reverses.

Chennai high court stays the recent police order that requires home owners to register their tenant information, based on a public interest petition.
The opposition argued that this is in violation of a constitutional right that an Indian can reside in any part of India. It also offends the right to privacy and the right to dignity of people residing in rental homes.
Hearing will be held after the court reconvenes post court summer holidays.
