The Residex for the quarter January-March 2012 constructed for 20 cities has taken into account the price trends for residential properties in different locations and zones in each city. Data on the transactions are collected from different/diverse sources and are classified, validated and applied to the model designed to give the representative Index for each city. The data are put through a Model that depicts the trend in the market. The Residex is expected to bring greater uniformity and standardisation as well as greater transparency in the valuation of properties across the industry.

2.    Uses of NHB RESIDEX

The Index also helps the general consumers and property buyers and borrowers in their decision-making by enabling comparisons over time and across cities and localities based on the emerging trends. The Residex also provides insights into the property market for the lending agencies in their credit evaluation and assessment of the value (present and potential) of the security against the loan. NHB RESIDEX can be a useful indicator for estimating the value of property to be financed and also for assessing the value of security cover on the outstanding loan. Builders and developers may also benefit from the index by assessing the demand scenario in a locality, and mapping the housing needs in different parts of the country. NHB RESIDEX may be useful to policy makers, banks, housing finance companies, builders, developers, investors and individuals.
