Property prices rise in Mumbai, Delhi
Property prices in Mumbai and Delhi NCR, among India's top realty markets, marginally rose in the third quarter of 2013 mainly due to lack of new launches and cautious sentiment in the sector, a survey said.
Mumbai's property rates grew 3 per cent in Q3 2013 compared to the April-June period. On the other hand prices in Delhi NCR remained largely stagnant at the Q2 2013 levels, according to a survey by property portal 99acres.
However, on year-on-year basis, Mumbai and Delhi NCR saw an improvement of 13 per cent and 8 per respectively, compared to Q3 2012 rates, it said.
"Mumbai continues to remain a slow market. Due to the perennial issues like lack of new launches and no price correction on the horizon, the market sentiment remains bleak.

"The NCR market is facing a decline due to interplay of multiple factors like cautious financial market sentiments and steep decline in fresh inventories," 99acres.com Business Head Vineet Singh said.
The situation can only be ameliorated if there is a wave of new projects at attractive rates which will excite the buyers to move from their current wait and watch policy, he said.
"No new projects were launched in Noida and Gurgaon (both in NCR). In fact, they were impacted by slower deliveries from the previous quarters which have exacerbated the overall scenario. All this has cumulatively led to a non-steady pricing of existing projects in the region."
