Due to surge in demand for resale units the price mismatch between old and new residential property in Chennai is narrowing down to just 20-25% as stated by Industry sources. Demand varies again depending on specific location and property developers have a long waiting list from location specific customers for booking new units as and when new projects are launched at city locations.

In case of Nungambakkam at Rs 8,000 per sq ft and Nolumbur at Rs. 4,000 per sq ft. Mr. H Balasubramanian, Managing Director of Bhoomi Realty feels, demand for resale residential Property in Chennai particularly for middle income budget segment has been strong and growing. The resale apartments are mostly located in gated community developments in proximity to a range of facilities which makes life a bit easier for Chennaites to avoid commuting long distances. Between the Chennaites the demand for resale units is particularly strong and the location like Chrompet, Nanganallur, Anna Nagar, Nolumbur, Adyar and many more apart from suburban locations like Sholinganallur on the IT corridor these location too are in great demand for resale units. As there is a growing demand for other areas as well where the demand hinges on pushing pricing. Housing board flats with larger UDS are in massive demand in areas like Kotturpuram and Besant Nagar as city land price are soaring . With the redevelopment trend gaining momentum people are keen to need an edge in resale units currently, he adds. According to Realtors, the trend is maybe about to continue till infrastructure development improves in suburban and peripheral areas with the emergence of extra educational, health and retail amenities and connectivity levels. Apart from resale units people of Chennai looking for affordable homes as well, consequently builders in Chennai began to believe that small and affordable homes were what would now be on the wish list of prospective buyers who now has a considerably lower purchasing power. The already-existing EWS (Economically Weaker Section)segment that was already in need of small and affordable homes. Rising cost of construction materials and the fact that nearly one-third of the price of every property is paid to the government in the form of taxes and levies, have undoubtedly played spoilsport in this dream to provide affordable housing for all.
