Real-estate research firm Liases Foras has launched its Real Estate Sensitivity Index, or RESSEX, which will provide data on price, inventory, sales and demand changes in six cities—Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune, National Capital Region (NCR), Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.
This Index will increase transparency in real-estate transactions by providing timely, accurate and relevant data to investors, developers and financial institutions, said Pankaj Kapoor, founder and chief executive officer of Liases Foras.
“Ressex data are collected through primary surveys and include detailed micro-research of the six cities,” he said.
“This type of a tool was needed in the industry for a long time and we are working closely with Pankaj. It will bring more transparency in the market,” said Renu Sud Karnad, joint managing director of housing finance major HDFC.
Subscribers will be charged a quarterly fee of Rs25,000 for access to this website, while yearly access will cost Rs 75,000, Kapoor said, adding that a separate service will be launched for individual investors to select projects using analytical tools.
The website provides calculators that allow the user to tweak various parameters such as prices, gestation period, location, etc. to compute key valuations like fair value, net present value and even Ressex futures.
“Developers will benefit a lot from such a sensitivity index because it will be easy for us to know which sector is enjoying more demand and work accordingly,” said Niranjan Hiranandani, managing director of real-estate developer Hiranandani Constructions. – Pallabika Ganguly,[email protected]
