The deepening economic slowdown, rising cost of living and low wage revisions, coupled with higher interest rares, are forcing salaried professionals who had earlier invested in properties to put them up for sale, say industry experts.

People who had invested in properties some 10-15 years ago are now finding it difficult to service their home loans which have become too expensive now due to the rising interest rates and falling rental yields.

According to a survey, resale inventory has increased nearly 30 per cent over the last six months.

“Economic slowdown has hit the real estate industry. Salaried professionals who had invested in properties five-six years ago to cash in on the boom, are now looking to sell them as they are finding it difficult to cope with the high cost of living,” property portal Housing.co.in co-founder and marketing head Advitiya Sharma told PTI.-from TOI
