Whenever RBI tries to control inflation, both builders and buyers have their spine-chilling moments. Buyers because they become apprehensive of paying more for a house, and developers because they frighten from fall in demand. But the recent measures taken by RBI did not shocked Bangalore's developers much; they are quite sure that the demand for properties in the city shall continue steadily. One of the reasons could be this: the real estate prices in the city are still lower than that of other tier-1 cities like Delhi and Mumbai.

The demand for real estate in southern and eastern localities like Koramangala, Hosur, Bannerghatta, Hebbal, Sarjapur, and Electronic city are witness to price accretion.

Bangalore Real Estate sees a Dip after Revision in Guidance Values

The year 2011 saw a rise in guidance values of Bangalore properties and in order to keep them in sync with the sharply rising market values, they have again been raised this August. The values have been raised in almost all the districts of Karnataka and almost all of them have seen an appreciation of about 25%. The boom in population and large influx of people from the other states made the authorities increase the value of Bangalore real estate. In Bangalore alone, the guideline value has been increased by 40-45%.

It would be mandatory for an owner to state the guidance value of his property at the set value or higher than that. Those who refuse and declare the lesser value, shall be issued notice by the district registrar, who would then decide the correct value. This would bring more transparency to Bangalore real estate. As the values this year have been set more closer to market values, the revenue earned by the government in terms of stamp duty and registration fee is expected to bring more profits.

The change in the values is expected to garner huge revenues for the Karnataka government. A collection in crores from the registration fee and the stamp duty has already been made. In the months to come, more revenues are in the offing. The revenue has also been levied on properties like villas and apartments. The new rates came into effect on August 12 and since then the interest of buyers in apartments for sale in Bangalore has seen a dip.
