Ahmedabad's youngsters poorer property buyers as against other comparable cities, says survey

By Our Representative
An Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore survey, in coordination with magicbricks.com, India’s top property portal, has found that Kolkata’s and Ahmedabad’s younger generation is a relatively poor buyer of residential properties as compared to other comparable cities. Seeking to identify Housing Sentiment Index (HSI), the survey has found that Kolkata’s and Ahmedabad’s 25-40 age group form 61 per cent of the housing property purchasters, as against 64 per cent in Mumbai, 67 per cent in Gurgaon, 74 per cent in Hyderabad, 75 per cent in Bangalore and Noida, and 77 per cent in Pune.
While a further breakup by the survey suggests that Ahmedabad’s housing property buyers in the age group 25-29 form the highest of all these cities, interestingly, majority of those wanting to buy property in Ahmedabad earn less than Rs 10 lakh per annum. It says, “62 per cent of those earning less than Rs 10 lakh per annum look to buy in Ahmedabad”, which is the highest compared to other cities. For instance, 30 per cent such buyers, earning less than Rs 10 lakh per annum, are from Gurgaon.
Not without reason, Ahmedabad is one of the cities where a higher percentage of buyers go in for cheaper houses. Thus, in Ahmedabad 23 per cent of those wanting to buy up houses want to lock a deal for less than Rs 20 lakh, and another 41 per cent want to lock it up for between Rs 20 and Rs 40 lakh. While in Kolkata 31 per cent buyers wish to purchase property less than Rs 20 lakh, and another 35 per cent for between Rs 20 and 40 lakh, in all other major cities the buyers wish to go in for higher-end properties.
Thus, in Gurgaon, 56 per cent of buyers wish to buy property worth Rs 60 lakh and more, even for more than Rs 1 crore; in Mumbai, there are 24 per cent such buyers; and in Delhi 22 per cent of the buyers wish to purchase property for more than Rs 60 lakh. In other cities – Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, and Noida – anywhere between 22 to 34 per cent buyers wish to purchase property for between Rs 40 and 60 lakh.
The survey says, “Bangalore remained the first choice for sellers looking to invest their proceeds in property.” The reason is simple: It is in this city that 51 per cent of those who want to buy up houses are IT professionals, as against 47 per cent in Hyderabad, 45 per cent in Pune, 29 per cent in Chennai, 20 per cent in Gurgaon and Mumbai, 19 per cent in Delhi, 17 per cent in Ahmedabad, and 15 per cent in Kolkata. In Ahmedabad, majority of the housing property buyers are in the “self-employed” category (but are not manufacturers).
Arriving at housing sentiment index on the basis of its analysis, the survey says, “less than 100 suggests that buyers expect prices to remain at current levels, while values lower/greater than 100 suggest that buyers expect prices to fall/rise.” It points out, “Barring Hyderabad and Noida, all other cities posted an upward trend. Mumbai posted positive HSI of 106 for the first time in four quarters.”
“An aggregate HSI score of 117 for the 10 cities surveyed indicates expectation of a price rise over the next six months”, the survey says, adding, “Among cities, Bangalore, with an HSI of 140, leads the list followed by Kolkata with an HSI of 132. Noida, which experienced a 33% increase in HSI in the previous quarter, fell by 4% to 124. For the first time, Mumbai shifted to positive HSI of 106.”
Further, “In Mumbai, with an HSI of 106, rose 24% to record the first positive HSI score in four quarters. Noida, which increased by 33% in the previous quarter, fell by 4% to 124 while Hyderabad fell by 4% to end at 97.” The survey underlines, “Ahmedabad is the only other city (after Hyderabad) with an HIS below 100.”

'Enough evidence' in Indian tradition to support legal basis for same-sex marriage

By Iyce Malhotra, Joseph Mathai, Sandeep Chachra*  The ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court on same-sex marriage provides space for much-needed conversations on issues that have hitherto remained “invisible” or engaged with patriarchal locker room humour. We must recognize that people with diverse sexualities and complex gender identities have faced discrimination, stigma and decades of oppression. Their issues have mainly remained buried in dominant social discourse, and many view them with deep insecurities.

Victim of communal violence, Christians in Manipur want Church leadership to speak up

By Fr Cedric Prakash SJ*  The first eleven days of May 2023 have, in many ways, been a defining period of Indian history! Plenty has happened in a rapid-fire stream of events. Ironically, each one of them are indicators of how crimes and the criminalisation of society has become the ‘new norm’; these include, the May Day rallies with a focus on the four labour codes which are patently against the rights of workers; the U S Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released its Annual Report on 1 May stating that conditions for religious freedom in India “continued to worsen in 2022”; the continued protest by the Indian women wrestlers at Jantar Mantar for the expulsion of the chief of the Indian Wrestlers Federation on very serious allegations; the Elections in Karnataka on 10 May (with communalism and corruption as the mainstay); the release of the fake, derogative and insensitive film ‘The Kerala Story’; the release of World Free Press Index on 3 May which places India

Swami Vivekananda's views on caste and sexuality were 'painfully' regressive

By Bhaskar Sur* Swami Vivekananda now belongs more to the modern Hindu mythology than reality. It makes a daunting job to discover the real human being who knew unemployment, humiliation of losing a teaching job for 'incompetence', longed in vain for the bliss of a happy conjugal life only to suffer the consequent frustration.

Greater reasons for Asia to unite than Europe, 'overcome' costly hostilities, political egos

By Dr S Faizi*  Europe, once a theatre of internecine wars, now has a robust European Union shaping the common destiny of its people. Although Europe is only a subcontinent of Asia as Arnold Toynbee had observed and as is visible to anyone looking at a map, we still not have a common Asian platform for economic and political cooperation.  It is high time Asia had its well mandated regional organisation to secure a common Asian future, ending the costly hostilities and political egos. We can have the Asian Union even when the bilateral hostilities, unique to Asia, refuse to go away completely.
