2. PRESENT SCENARIO
The present state of affairs of the real estate
sector is vibrant but with an undertone of
restraint. Tempered sentiment on account of
sluggish growth and Euro debt zone crisis
has kept the bouncy players in this sector
circumspect and measured in their action.

There are visible signs of the economy
regaining its poise with socio economic
indicators of growth showing marginal
increase. With credit flow expected to be
normal and no imminent threat of a sharp
decline in the purchasing power of the
consumers, realty sector is likely to gain back
momentum in a few months.

Inconsistent credit policy of banks and financial
institutions
Lack of an alternative credible credit line
Trust deficit
Inflation
Flawed marketing strategy
No branding initiative of a majority of players
Poor communication with the prospective
customers

factors affecting customer sentiment is
beyond one’s control, yet a general
ambience of well being could be generated
that could spark up public mood and reignite
interest in this sector.

task is to restore customer confidence and
reassure them of transparent dealings.

location and the level of connectivity with
vital facilities, yet the allocation of weightage
