Robust sales number and limited new supply have helped NCR outpace the other top cities in reducing its housing inventory overhang by 53 months, according to a report by Anarock Research.
In the NCR, the inventory overhang stood at 80 months as of Q2 2021 and reduced to 27 months in Q2 2022. Since Q1 2015, Q2 2022 has seen the lowest inventory overhang in Delhi-NCR, indicating a favourable residential market scenario in a long time, mostly after the pandemic, reported by the real estate services firm.
Prashant Thakur, senior director and head – research, Anarock Group, said, “Inventory overhang basically reflects the sales velocity at a given time,” while adding, “Inventory measured in months indicates the number of months it will take for the current unsold housing stock on the market to sell at the current absorption rate. NCR saw its unsold stock decline by 16 per cent on yearly basis – from about 1,68,710 units in Q2 2021-end to approx. 1,41,240 units as of Q2 2022-end.”
The report stated that with remarkable restraint in this previously highly speculative market, which saw an unrealistically high number of projects launched in earlier years, developers in Delhi-NCR have restricted their new supply despite robust sales. Merely 4,070 units were launched in Delhi-NCR in Q2 2022.
