Housing sales jump y-o-y over 2-fold across eight major cities in Q1FY22: ICRA

03 Sep 2021 Evaluate

Rating agency ICRA in its latest report has said that housing sales in volume terms more than doubled to 68.5 million sq ft year-on-year during April-June of this fiscal (Q1FY22) across eight major cities on lower base effect. However, it said the sales in the residential realty sector across the top eight cities of the country in Q1 FY2022 dropped 19 per cent to 68.5 million sq ft from 84.7 million sq ft in Q4 FY2021 due to the second wave of the pandemic.

According to the report, the sequential drop of 19 per cent comes on a high base of Q4 FY2021, in which the sector witnessed its second highest sales, since FY2012. However, it said residential sales more than doubled when compared to the 33.7 million sq ft of sales recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, Q1 FY2021. With the increased focus on vaccination by the government and quick re-opening of the economy, it said sales are likely to recover to the earlier levels in the short-to-medium term.

The rating agency further stated that the underlying demand trend has remained intact, driven by factors such as multi-year low interest rates and need for more residential space on account of shift to hybrid working model. It said the impact of the second wave has been lower than that witnessed in the first wave due to various factors including the continuing work-from-home by many salaried employees, more localised lockdown restrictions and higher degree of certainty regarding future income levels and stability.
