SEVERE CASH CRUNCH IN THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR

By
Real Estate Agent with R.B.Eeal Estate

The recent bloodbath in the real estate sector has started taking a toll. Almost all large developers are facing a severe cash crunch and finding it difficult to complete their ongoing projects. The situation is so bad that most of them have reported a 50-70% cash shortfall. Liquidity crunch has forced many developers to pick up cash from the unorganized market at interest rates as high as 35% to 50% annually. The lending rate of banks is between 18% and 20%. The grade A developers which are facing crash crunch include DLF, MGF Emaar, Shobha Developers, Unitech, Omaxe, Parsvnath Developers, Hiranandani Group, Ansal API, BPTP Developers and TDI Group.

I agree- Cash is at a premium- One reason in our area has alot to do with the many sub-prime lenders closing-

There still is credit card money flowing- don't know why that's still popular- I guess because people meed money.

Great blog post- All the best- Keep up the good work.

Until the foreclosed homes clear out, the new ones will have to wait.

Permits a re way down across the nation. The end user mortgage money is also at a pretty severe cash crunch as well. Its really a mess.
