Residential real estate will lead the recovery of India’s wounded property market in 2010 thanks to accelerating economic growth, lower interest rates and improved liquidity, Indian ratings and research agency CRISIL said Wednesday.
Prices for commercial and retail space will likely remain weak through 2010 because of oversupply and slack demand, CRISIL said in a new study of 10 cities across India.
Residential real estate is where we think by 2010 we can look for some kind of recovery,” head of research Sudhir Nair said in a conference call with reporters. “There is a significant overhang of supply in commercial projects. … You can’t see a lease rental increase for a couple of years in this market.”
India’s property market, like many around the globe, boomed from 2005 to mid-2008. Average prices of both commercial and residential space more than doubled during that period, according to CRISIL.

Real estate developers’ fixation with prices
