Real estate developers have hardly hiked their rates in the last six to eight months and some of them have not hiked them at all. Property analysts say this scenario is different from that witnessed between April and October 2007, when developers hiked rates by as much as 24% to 32%. According to a pan-India survey of local brokers in the residential property market, carried out by global research analysts Edelweiss, around 80% of brokers across India have witnessed a reduction in enquiries over the past month, and about 90% have seen a drop in transactions over the past month. A hundred brokers in 20 micro-markets like Bandra-Borivili, Mulund-Thane, Gurgaon, Noida, Whitefield-Marathalli and Annanagar, in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai, were polled. Godrej Properties hiked rates for its Riverside project at Kalyan by 24% in 2007, but this year, it has increased them by a mere 7%, from Rs 2,000 per sq ft to Rs 3,000 per sq ft. Rates at Rustomjee's Elanza project in Malad (W) has remained constant, at Rs 9,000 per sq ft, after its hike of 20% at Rs 7,500 per sq ft last year. Similarly, property rates at RNA Builders' Royale Park and HDIL's Dreams project in Bhandup remained at Rs 6,500 per sq ft and Rs 5,750 per sq ft, after jumping 18% and 5% respectively from 2007.
