NRIs, Foreign Investors dumping Indian RE, but Relators won't cut rates

The global real estate fund of Morgan Stanley, which was in talks with the Wadhwa Group to invest about Rs 900-1,000 crore ($186 Million) in an office development project in Mumbai, has now shelved its investment plans as the rupee’s plunge has made the hedging cost for the entire deal too huge, The Economic Times reported today. The investment by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing (MSREI) was proposed to be deployed in jointly developing 1.6 million square feet office space in Mumbai’s financial hub Bandra Kurla Complex. Mumbai-based Wadhwa Group had already begun construction of the project, ONE BKC, which would consist of two office towers and is due to be completed by 2014. Are foreign investors shying from Indian realty? Are foreign investors shying from Indian realty? MSREI has invested about $850 million in Indian real estate, mainly in residential projects, including $100 million to $125 million in a housing project by Mumbai-based Sheth Developers, Reuters reported in December 2011, and the ONE BKC project would have been its first investment in commercial real estate. “Returns that were arrived at in earlier negotiations between Morgan Stanley and Wadhwa were shrinking even before concluding the deal,” one of the people familiar with the deal told ET as the rupee has slipped 46 percent in the last two years, wiping out returns of several PE funds. The pull out comes even as Wadhwa has been marketing ONE BKC as offering office spaces designed to suit occupiers of all sizes. The company has been using this as its USP by offering office spaces of as small as 1,000 square feet as it targets professionals like chartered accountants and law firms. “This deal is already very costly and there is high vacancy in BKC. Not just the Wadhwa Group but even Godrej Properties has a huge office complex there where absorption rates are very low. Add to the economic gloom and a horrible hiring outlook… Post Lehman Brothers, commercial real estate has been going South and BKC is largely a finance and banking sector, which is under maximum pressure right now,” said Pankaj Kapoor, MD at real estate research firm Liases Foras. Data from property consultant CBRE shows Mumbai’s BKC is the eleventh most expensive office market in the world. Clearly when there is a slowdown and corporates are looking to cut costs, MNCs wouldn’t want to shell out more as rent, which is why several corporates move out of expensive offices in BKC to relocate at low-cost locations such as Andheri East, Goregaon and even Parel. In Mumbai, Johnson & Johnson took up 150,000 sq ft in Andheri East moving from more expensive Worli while Franklin Templeton India moved out of Wockhardt Towers in BKC and shifted to Indiabulls in Lower Parel, where rentals are as low as Rs 125 a sq foot, and Volkswagen moved out from Maker Maxcity where it was paying Rs 500 a square foot to Andheri-Kurla road where rental is Rs 130 a square foot a month. Knight Frank data also showed that bulk of office space transactions during the fourth quarter of financial year 2013, took place in the suburban business districts of Andheri and Goregaon. “Andheri East and Goregaon East accounted for a massive 92% of the transactions in Mumbai,” the report said. A report by a Cushman & Wakefield says office relocations and consolidation of space have more than doubled in the first half of 2013 against last year and companies have managed to reduce their rents by 25-30 percent. In fact, property consulting firm Knight Frank points out that while the rental value ranges between Rs 200 and Rs 350 in BKC, it is any where between Rs 125 and Rs 190 a square feet in Central Mumbai (Lower Parel, Dadar, Prabhadevi) and between Rs 50-Rs 100 in Andheri, Josgehwari, Gorgaon and Malad. Moreover, sluggish leasing in business districts and new supply led to vacancy levels rising in office spaces. Mumbai saw a 10 percent decline in office demand in the first half of the year due to subdued economic conditions at domestic as well as international levels, the Cushman report said.

Foreigners dumping realty? Morgan Stanley pulls out of major Mumbai project

Why real estate is a landmine of troubles for NRI investors

Sep 30, 2013

By Om Ahuja

The global capital and currency markets have been volatile for last the few months, also triggering serious turbulence in the rupee. Current account deficit and the fact that foreign institutional investors are selling heavily in the Indian bond market have been the key triggers for the rupee's repeated depreciation. Factors such as negative export and industrial growth have triggered even more uncertainty, specifically in the currency trend pattern.

Will The Rupee Depreciate Further?

The Central Government has passed the Food Security Bill, which effectively increases subsidy for the nation. The fact that the Lok Shabha elections will be held in in 2014 may be cause for more of such populist measures - nevertheless, the country's overall financial status does not look very exciting right now. We may continue to see volatility over the mid term. Moves such as importing of fuel would further hurt the economy.

NRIs And Real Estate

When it comes to Indian real estate, NRIs take centre-stage when the rupee depreciates. The foreign exchange that they tend to funnel into the sector increases significantly when the rupee slides. In times of rupee volatility, banks institutions and developers tend to announce various schemes aimed at attracting NRIs. At the same time, NRIs are also attracted to the higher interest rates on NRE (Non-Resident External) and FCNR (Foreign Currency Non-Resident) deposits, as the standalone rupee returns look quite lucrative to them.

Realtors bank on freebies, festival sales but rule out price cuts

Sep 30, 2013

Realty developers are hopeful of clearing a large portion of their inventory pile-up during this festive season by luring in buyers with freebies and
discounts, even as they sit tight on declared prices, said industry experts.

"Higher interests and the overall slowdown has led to a significant build-up of unsold units with developers in most of the major realty markets over the past few quarters, adversely affecting cash flow and impacting new project launches," said KPMG India partner Neeraj Bansal.

Further, RBI's stringent directives like banning the 80:20 scheme is expected to make things more difficult for developers, he said.


]Reuters 
Reuters
The September-December period witnesses maximum launches and publicity of real estate projects.

However, industry watchers are not expecting any price correction during the period.

"We don't expect any price correction now. Most projects have maintained the price levels or in some cases gone up marginally. But since they have already been factored in the slowdown, they will cautiously plan their sales," PwC India associate director Bhairav Dalal said.

Developers are likely to attract buyers through several discount schemes/gifts with most common being gold coins, cash-back on monthly rentals, customisation, free parking and club facility, zero brokerage, upfront cash discounts among others.

According to realty portal Magicbricks, developers in metros like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad have already announced various freebies.

"Offering such innovative schemes is most likely to result in higher enquiries and footfalls, which coupled with festive offerings, may help generate decent sales," Bansal said.

Indian RE is toast big time now. The whole Indian economy looks like a joke now. Totally based on printed money and foreign investments. In fact all world economies are a joke now days with their central banks printing to infinity.

Indian RE to correct by 40% in 2014. Do not buy if you have hard earned money. Thieves and black money folks can fuck themselves and keep buying as all the stolen black money component would be erased soon.

My advise to folks is to save their jobs as many jobs related to construction and banking will b ewiped off in 2014.

If your prognostication materializes you will have to save your life, not just your job.

Construction in India is still pretty labor intensive and it is dominated by migrant single males between 15-40 years of age. If this demographic becomes jobless/penniless, then crime and violence around the cities which have been a hub for these jobs is bound to go up.

Those who live in the far flung areas of cities will bear the brunt.

It's surprising how spineless folks have got woken up and I find it hard to believe, since on the previous several occasions where diplomats were insulted elsewhere in the world, Govt was mum.

I think they have woken up only after raj mata of the country was summoned by Uncle Sam in 1984 genocide case. This is something they would never tolerate !

VIP & VVIPs being brought down to earth. It's about time.

Let's not forget the maid servant is also an Indian citizen. We all know how Jagriti Singh treated her servants and for how long. It may come as a huge shock to the Indian elite that in the US, the arresting officer does not give a damn when you say the cliché "jaante nahi mai kaun hun!" US law enforcement arrest celebrities, politicians and big-shot business men as matter of routine procedure...

Infact, my suspicion is that Devyani tried to be a smart ass and probably questioned the arresting officers by flashing her credentials ("jaante nahi mai kaun hun") which is guaranteed to not work in her favor in the US.

Tip for anyone who encounters a law enforcement in the US. Follow their orders and DO NOT disrespect them.

I've lived in US for 20+ years and have encountered law enforcement a handful of times but never once have I been ill treated. In fact, the experience has always been a positive one and left me with highest regards for the training and professionalism of US law enforcement.

Robert Vadra is right, this is banana republic. The way the maid was treated, her passport revoked and an arrest warrant issued in India, expect this to only happen in third world. Response of Indian gov is childish.

Nothing new about you, most of the educated elite have been hypnotised which is mainly due to Identity politics mindset in India. People think they are going to bring down inflation by controlling corruption. 1. Inflation is not the result of corruption and 2. Corruption can never be stopped in India and they seem to be misleading the public to carry out Socialist reforms and their own hidden agenda in the name of controlling corruption.

And this topic has deep connection with this blog, namely the RE Bubble. Its clear people are angry about price rise, and when we talk about inflation, it is mostly house prices and rents. And in times of stagflation, a new avatar called Kejriwal comes and teaches people that the rich and elite are cause of inflation, makes some hit and run allegations, and becomes popular.

Incidentally, the same NRIs who have invested in Indian real estate have dug a grave for themselves and there real estate investments in this country. Either this guy stops Modi from coming to power or in the best case comes to power. In both cases, there real estate investments are at risk.

If I sweat it out day & night and get a 20% hike as a reward, why should I hand over that hard-earned money over to greedy zamindars (the RE owners & sellers). I don't understand why all these RE bastards (RE developers & their "consultants" & all related folks) 'predict' that RE price will grow up because IT sector seems likely to give good hike - do they expect that as soon as we get any hike we would go & donate everything to them, and not use it to enjoy ourselves (ex. foreign trip, or anything else which we always wanted but were a little short of money so far). They are ready to grab every naya paisa hike we get (and even more than that)!!
When ever I read such stupid predictions this is the picture I get: A child is eagerly unwrapping an ice cream & just as he is about to start eating it, a big bastard bully comes and snatches it from his hand. That's how I feel when I read such "IT might do well, so we are expecting good growth(??) in RE" BS story.
Yeah, it is true that wage hike (if it is across all sectors, not just IT) usually results in increase in the overall cost of living, but it usually a considerable time gap between the wage hike and cost-of-living hike & it happens slowly. But dreaming that a 20% hike in a few sectors will result in 20% or more hike in ONLY RE (which is already unaffordable & overvalued) itself! and that too right away! - that is like waiting in ambush & pouncing on you as you are coming home with the new salary in your purse and robbing your purse and everything else you have too.

IT people are earning in lakhs per month. With husband and wife the 20% hike means another lakh per month more in monthly income. All this new income goes into RE which is used as investment for future

Guys my company is planning to relocate quite a few people in the India office and I am being asked to go back to Bangalore. I have never been to bangalore and never worked in India. Did MS and worked in US for 7 years. The pay packet is 13.5 lakhs per year and one time 50lakhs bonus/relocation. My wife does not work and I have one kid. Is this money sufficient to buy a home in bangalore and lead a decent middle class life.

@Above:

Think beyond money. You will definitely enjoy moving to India and money is not bad as well. Wait till you buy a flat as RE market is tanking all over India and you may be get good deals later this year.

Yes it is sufficient.
Just rent a house and live like a king. Your money will grow every year. Let it grow and one day RE will fall. You can get a good deal.

Whatever happens, DONT BUY. Spread the word. You will do them a big favor. Remember these words.

Don't accept the offer. I assume 50 lakh bonus would be taxable and so you get only 34.5 lakh in hand which will not be sufficient to buy quality house. And 13.5L is simply not enough to live a decent life in Bangalore. You would be living a much much better life in Redmond / Seattle, and your kid would be thankful to you if you choose to live in US forever.

Life is not just about having a comfortable existence. Beyond having the basics, food, clothing, shelter, transportation there are many other factors which can play a part in what one considers a fulfilling life.

Kids have to have a sense of identity. Bullying in US schools is very corrosive, and a person of a different ethnicity is an easy target. Another factor is when one gets old and kids move away, the social infrastructure for first generation immigrants is lacking.

The best time to move back to India when the kids are young, and the time can be used to build a good social infrastructure.

13.5 take home will be close to 20 CTC after taxes, variable pay and pf. So you are telling that whoever has a kid makes that much? Then why are people cribbing in the blog for RE costing 80L. Some things doesn't add up.

Sticking with the title of the blog,
the guy taking 13 lakhs home would need to spend more than half of that to pay a 80 lakh home (APR = 10%, 15 yr payment and 20% down payment assumed).

If 13 lakhs is considered high end salary, even this guy is somewhat priced out of Indian real estate.

Anonymous said...

13 lacs take home is really good. Salary is not less but when you look at RE prices it may seem less. The RE has to correct by more than 50%, so take the money and keep renting.

In a few years you can buy your dream home or even move to other opportunities within India or outside. Renting would give you that freedom.

Buddy, the min rent for a family 2BHK in a reasonable locality is upwards of 25 K. Schools are pretty expensive too. Nothing less than 75K per year. Including other expenses like milk, veggies, transport etc. 13.5 lac hardly suffices if you have to support a family

Sorry I wrote "take home" by mistake. I assumed 13.5 L is pre tax income. Sorry for the confusion. And I have an opinion that 13.5L pretax income is not good in Bangalore.

Venky said...

Anon with 13.5 lakh package:
I relocated to Bangalore 4 years ago and currently, my monthly expenses for a family of 4 with car+driver+maids+cook works out to 50k per month. If you rent, add another 30k pm. For two kids, add another 20k pm (minimum) for education expenses. So, total required cash = 1L per month, or 12LPA cash in hand. This assumes no savings, vacations etc.

If you buy the same flat, you will probably have an EMI of 70k pm. So, extra 40k pm, means you need to make about 5L extra per year.

If you rent and live a middle class life, you need 12LPA.
If you buy, you need 17LPA.

Both values are cash in hand. Bangalore is not cheap. That is why jobs are moving to Philippines.

Anonymous said...

Venky: 70k pm EMI is equal to 70L loan, which means that the apartment cost is 87.5L (assuming 20% down, 10% interest, 20 years loan). That sounds like a LOT of money! Do techies live in areas that have
3BHKs selling for 87.5L in Bangalore?

Anonymous said...

Looks like the bubble is bursting faster than previously thought especially in NCR region.

Many many flats for sale now. No buyers. RBI tightening on loans. NPAs soaring. Lacs of new flats coming to the market.

High end properties have already dropped 30-40%. Low end upto 2 crores are seeing 10-20% drops but would soon see bigger drops in the range of 40-50%.

Hopefully by election time, there would be some sanity.

Anonymous said...

// Both values are cash in hand. Bangalore is not cheap. That is why jobs are moving to Philippines

What you posted seem to be on the higher end. 20K per month for 2 kids is way lot. 25K seems reasonable for decent living and 10K for house rent

Suresh said...

Just been to Bangalore two weeks ago.Cost of living indicated by Venky is spot on.House rent is about 25-30K for a 3bed flat in a decent area with facilities. If you need a driver,allow about 12k per month.School fees are roughly 10~15 k per month per kid

Suresh said...

During my short stay in Bangalore,I found out from numerous news paper ads that there is plenty of 2/3 bed room flats available in ready to occupy state.They range from 45 lakhs to 70 lakhs .Many of these are low rise flats(4 or 5 storey) by small developers.Agents are willing to pick up and drop you off free to view the flats.Maybe some one from Bangalore can explain whether this surplus is being absorbed or just piling up in the market.

Venky said...

Suresh: Most of the 45L-70L flats in Bangalore are not worth occupying. Some are "bare shells", some have no water connection or legal documents. 80 to 90% of Bangalore localities have a garbage problem. This flats are not worth 10 Lakhs, their owners are living in lala land if they think their flats are worth anything!

Surplus is definitely piling up on the market. Flats are renting, but no one in their senses is buying right now.

GSM said...

This flats are not worth 10 Lakhs

To be fair, the cost of labour and construction has gone up. A 3 BHK 1500 Sqft cost easily 30L to construct. So, if a ready move in apartment is available with good quality in a decent locality near to work place for ~50L, it is a good deal to consider it in Bangalore.

Here is a simple calc

Cost of the Flat : 50L
Loan : 40L
EMI (10%) : 43k

Savings

Commute : 40k (@ 3.5k/month)
Rent : 216k (@ 18k/month)
Tax savings : 45k (@30% on 1.5L Interest)

Total Savings : 3L
Total EMI : 5.16L

So basically, by paying 18k/month more than what you are currently spending, you can own a flat in Bangalore. Of course, NCR or Mumbai may be much different.

Anonymous said...

Agree with Venky, the so called 40-50lakh apartments are not worth living in. who is going to take in added haplessness regarding overflowing garbage, polluted water supply, no electricity supply, innumerable visits to get gas connections, etc. 10 lakhs at the most. times are changing man.

Anonymous said...

GSM,
The only flaw in your argument is that you dont get any decent apartment for 50 lac in a good locality. It is any where between 75 lac and a crore, if you take into account proximity of schools, hospitals, etc. The differential per month is closer to 40k per month, if you take that into account.

Anon above: Please stop posting links to stories written by poor writers who have been told what exactly to write. The first line is a dead giveaway:
"Professionals looking to switch jobs this year can expect to get an average salary hike of around 25-30%, which is higher than what those switching jobs managed for themselves last year, according to estimates made by a recruitment firm."

"can expect to get" and "according to estimates made by a recruitment firm", when translated into plain English mean,"you kinda sorta might get a raise, speculates a job broker who does not want to be named. While we are at it, what the hell, let me pull a number out of my ass and say it is 25%"

The software/tech industry in Bangalore is bleeding buckets.
There is a hiring freeze in major MNCs, and college recruitments have nosedived. Really, really bad times are coming. If you switch jobs, there may not be a job for you, at least, in India. I say this as an insider.

just because you didnt get a 20% rise does not mean that people are not getting it.

Since the kids were school going, they was no need of baby sitting all day. And the maid was given a separate room with food. Shouldn't they be added to calculate min pay laws. Some things don't add up.

Alas, Indian Govt used the episode to get a positive image just before the election. Never saw media with reporting wrt Tejpal or corruption. Now that's some lateral thinking.

When people know that they have taken bad decisions, and realize that the herd is not willing to follow them, they become abusive. I don't blame you.

What can I do, God did not bless me with the same I/Q that he has blessed you with.

Perhaps, to make up for my lack of investment sense, you could buy a second apartment for yourself, and pay it with the 20% raise you are expecting this year. Good luck!

I personally know an NRI who works in Facebook makes 1 million dollar in salary (cash + stocks) per annum. And exactly 10 more friends of mine sitting in Menlo Park office of FB who make 150K and are unhappy. I would estimate there would be more than 100 Indian origin employees in the same office who would be unhappy with their salary envy this guy. What does it mean ? The majority of IT folks still do not get supernormal salaries. And BTW, this guy pays 55% in income taxes, 20000$ in property taxes every year. So even he can't save more than 250K per annum after getting over million. And if FB stock tanks, think how these normal supernormal salaries come down.

Coming soon. To a stock market near you :) Not just FB, but all the gimmicky 'social' startups getting astronomical valuations.

Watch the 10yr UST carefully. Its withing spitting distance of 3% now. At around 4%, the mortgages on the $700K homes will start to bite, at 5% stocks will start to waver. At 6% (if the Fed allows it reach there), we will have a nice mean reversion in asset prices.

But the economy can continue growing through all this. It happened between 1966 and 1980. GDP went up 3 times, stock market went up by 1 (yes one) point.

I am thinking long term. I am sitting on the cash. I will wait until bank interest rates jumps up to 3% in the USA. Right now it is less than 1% but slowly rates will start increasing soon. It could take a year to two. Like me one can live in a rental apartment (worth more than 1 Crore) paying 25,000 rupees rent. I don't have to worry about maintenance and/or wear/tear of the apartment.
Total rent comes out 3 Lakhs per year.
If you put 1 crore in Bank deposit schemes, you can fetch 9 lakhs per annum now. Being an NRI I am getting 9% rate. I will be still richer by 6 lakhs each year after deducting my rent expenses.
If realty prices goes down in near future I am a winner if it does not I am still a winner making 6 lakhs per year.

"If realty prices goes down in near future I am a winner if it does not I am still a winner making 6 lakhs per year."

In 10 years 6 lakhs will be 1 crore compounded.
Real estate will remain 1 crore even after 10 years so you are doing the right thing.

And so am I :)

This thread will be back once the rates fall so never say never.

Where are the bulls lol. I dont see any. Bulls go ahead and post something.

Bulls don't need to post anything. Bulls have been vindicated. They said prices wouldn't fall, and they haven't fallen. Period. Fullstop. Bulls have nothing to prove. The burden of proof is on the bears to show that prices have fallen. So far that has not happened and it will never happen.

Dear readers,
Please comment on this. Does anyone have experience with Dreamz infra in Bangalore city? I see their quoted price for 1-2 bhk in Electronic city, Bangaore for 8-13 lacs (600-900 sqft) in commonfloor website. Share your genuine experience.

It looks the prices dropped at this level.

Tks.

In Dombivli, a distant suburb of Mumbai, 600 sqft flat in 30 years old building was sold for 55 lakhs. The same flat would have fetched just 6 lakhs in the year 2000. This is really mind blowing. For this city the only mode of transportation is crowded train to reach Mumbai. Dombivli is not even in Mumbai and don't enjoy city life benefits. Either Indians have lot of money or they have gone mad?

Ask around. Many places in Mumbai too are now seeing lower prices. This is just the start. More action to come.

i am coming to this blog after a hiatus of 2.5 years. At that time, you people were shouting bubble bubble but 2.5 years later you are doing the same thing. Seems you don't want to wake up or are delusional.
Back when i left this shit country 1BHK in Malad W used to cost Rs 75L, now it costs 1 Cr. 2BHK costs 2 Cr and 3BHK costs 3 Cr.
Guys this market is controlled by people like Sharad Pawar, Rahejas, MLAs, MPs, corrupt police officers, corrupt beauracrats, corrupt builders, corrupt bank officials.

So how can you expect prices to come down when so many wicked parties have a stake in property market?

Middle class can't get time to tackle such issues because it's completely burdened by other issues like child education fees, rent, food, travel in Mumbai, traffic, pollution, rising medical costs, bad roads, people's rising anger.

So what you expect God or some "systemic" change to come from thin air and bring down prices?

At least don't delude yourselves. Go back and see what you posted 2 or 3 years ago and how much of it came true and stop acting like losers.
