Indian Real Estate is headed for a bust

You have the Indian economy in a tail-spin,equities are hammered out of shape,the job market is the worst in years,the Rupee is plunging to new lows and yet real estate is doing well…thank you very much.

The report below by 99 acres makes for fascinating reading.Most realty destinations have provided eye popping returns in the last one year.Most real estate agents are in bad shape and yet prices show no signs of abating.

So what’s next?

All signs (falling transaction volume,low credit offtake,low rental yields etc) point to a bust in the real estate market.The catalyst?Elections.

Alpha Ideas Crosses a Million Page Views

It suddenly happened…Alpha Ideas has crossed a Million Page Views.It took the blog roughly 18 months to do so.

I started the blog as a lark and after some persistent goading by my wife.Never really expected people to notice it amongst the millions of other websites/blogs out there.

That it has gathered a readership following of some sort is a kind of a miracle in its own way .

I am grateful to you, dear readers, for patronizing the blog.Do keep the tweets,bouquets and brickbats coming in.
