MagicBricksPropIndexMagicBricks.comPropIndex is a tool whichempowers propertyseekers and investors withdetailed information onthe movement ofresidential apartmentprices and supply ofproperties in India. Nocredible property indexcan be a function of directvalues as the changes aregoverned by multiplefactors.
MagicBricks.comPropIndex has taken thisreality into account andproduced an index basedon listing of apartmentsand their capital andrental values on thewebsite.
MagicBricks.com has over 400,000 active propertiesposted by more than1,00,000 active users in 300cities and 3,500 localities.Our users include owners,agents and developers.
MethodologyApartment values arebased on listings onMagicBricks.com. Theseinclude multistoreyapartments and singleunits on plotteddevelopments, referred toas builder floors onMagicBricks.com.
The Index is structured in
such a way that individualproperties are aggregatedinto their respective citiesand then to the NationalIndex. Weightages forPropIndex are based on thesupply of propertieswithin the locality/city.Based on this structure,PropIndex gives a realisticpicture of trends inprice/supply acrossdifferent property marketsin each city. We have useddifferent weightages forListed Price Monitor/RentMonitor. Therefore, read asa whole, PropIndex alongwith tables provided forListed Price Monitor, RentMonitor, Yield Monitor andCapital Values, gives anexcellent perspective ofthe property marketperformance in thequarter.
While listing and itsvalues/supply provide alevel of understandinginto the market, there aremeticulous data checks toprevent aberrationscreeping into the Index.These are based onstatistical calculations,industry inputs and logicalinterpretations.
The National PropertyIndex (NPI) is indicative ofthe extent of activity aswell as price movementsacross cities and localitiesin the major cities activeon MagicBricks.com. Theindex includes the top 11
cities (these have beenchosen based on theiractivity levels) and has anindividual city report foreach of these cities. Whilethe NPI and its movementsare of interest to theexpert community ofbankers, builders andinvestors, the PropIndexhas also taken care toexplain the nuances ofindex movements at thelocality level that wouldhelp the huge base ofMagicBricks.comconsumers.
Insights into consumerdemand have beengathered through analysisof search information onthe site. This helpsunderstand the bestlocalities by demand, thetype and configuration ofunits as well as the budget-wise preferences.
The PropIndex is the resultof meticulous research atthe locality level andthrough detaileddiscussions with experts atMagicBricks.com’s offlineand online initiatives.
The Indian real estatemarket is dynamic and thePropIndex reflects thosechanges. Since it is derivedfrom a dynamic database,additions and deletions oflocalities happen as afunction of marketdynamics.
METHODOLOGY
There is a wealth of information within these pages. For better readability, we have presented some data as tablesand others as graphs. Between them, you will find how property markets have performed in the Oct-Dec 2012 quarter from many different perspectives – from that of capital appreciation, from a rental/yieldrealisation perspective and from the stand of supply of properties. Also understand what consumers want in theDemand Analysis section.
We recommend that you evaluate the city report in its entirety and that will provide a rounded perspective of theperformance of the property market within each city. Here are details of what you will find in each of the cityreports enclosed within -
1. City Property Index – This is a composite index which is a function of supply of properties as well as theaverage capital appreciation/drop in various localities of the city in the quarter. The city index is theweighted average of the average rate per square foot in that locality and the supply of properties from thatlocality. Premium localities (with higher average rate per square foot) as well as localities with higher supplyof properties will have a bigger impact on the Index. For example, if the supply of properties from apremium locality drops, that locality will end up having a lower weightage in the index which in turn willpush the Index downwards (and vice-versa). On the other hand, supply of properties remaining unchanged,the index will be influenced by capital appreciation within the locality.
2. Listed Price Monitor – This metric shows the capital appreciation/drop within a locality and is calculatedon the basis of movement in the “average rate per square foot” within that locality. By and large, themovement in the “average rate per square foot” reflects capital appreciation/ drops. However, in a few selectcases, we have observed that the average rate per square foot moves due to a change in the mix of apartmentswithin that locality (e.g. if the ratio of premium apartments, which command a higher per square foot rate,changes over the quarter). In these few circumstances, the Listed Price Monitor will, in turn, reflect thisinput. Such changes have been explained in the text of the City Reports.
3. Rent Monitor – This reflects the rental appreciation/drop within a locality. It is calculated on the basis ofmovement in the “average rent per square foot” within that locality. By and large, the movement in the“average rent per square foot” reflects rental appreciation/drops. However, in a few selected cases, we haveobserved that the average rent per square foot moves due to a change in the mix of apartments within thatlocality (e.g. if the ratio of premium apartments, which command a higher per square foot rent, changes overthe quarter). In these few circumstances, the Rent Monitor will, in turn, reflect this input. Such changes havebeen explained in the text of the City Reports.
4. Yield Meter – Yield is the annual rate of return earned on property. The Yield Meter depicts the gross yieldpercentages across various localities. Gross yield is a ratio of average annual rental value to the averagecapital value of the property.
5. Capital Value Tables (given in Annexures) – This shows the actual range of prices within which propertieswere available in each locality in the quarter. Prices are shown in Rupees per square foot basis; these are theprevailing rates for properties in each locality.
6. Demand Analysis –This analysis of consumer demand is based on searches and requirements that usershave performed on MagicBricks.com. The top localities by demand gives an insight into consumerpeferences. The demand data has been used to arrive at various aspects of consumer requirements includingBudget-wise analysis, Property type analysis and BHK configuration analysis. This section also provides acomparison between demand and supply in the Oct-Dec, 2012 and Jul-Sept, 2012 quarters.
7. Realty News – Property market performance is also dependent on drivers outside the purview of buyingand selling. There are broadly four key drivers that determine the prospects of real estate – infrastructuresuch as water and power, transport links creating new growth corridors, policy such as rental laws, propertytax, etc and return on investment. From this issue onwards, PropIndex focuses on news bytes that impactfuture prospects of real estate in the city.

TheChennai listed price monitorrecorded a slight increase at 1 percent for the same period,reflecting a stable market.

The Kolkata property index roseby 3 per cent during the Oct-Dec 2012 quarter as comparedto the Jul-Sept 2012 quarter thatwitnessed growth by a mere 1 percent.

and EM Bypass impacted realestate values positively.
