NEWSLETTERGood service is our motto

Hello,

Greetings from RE/MAX Metro...!!! First of all we would like to wish all 10th and 12th students a big Congrat-ulations on getting good results and wish them all the success in future. I am sure you all must have had a good time with family on holiday breaks and now kids would be getting ready to get back to school and we wish them all the best for New Year. Summer is getting very hot and we advise all to stay indoors in afternoon and drink as much liquid you can to avoid dehydration.

We at RE/MAX Metro had a good month of May where we sold 2 Apart-ments and 2 Commercial Properties; we have seen that in this market resale property in a good society are selling easily. If you market your property at right price then there are many buyers in this market to buy it. Markets have gone stagnant and this is the right time for end users to buy home for them as they can negotiate a good price with the builders.According to Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) All-India Residential Property Price Index, in the past 19 quarters, the housing market has witnessed an upward trend in prices. It was released with the survey, Recent Trends in Residential Property Prices in India: An exploration using housing loan data. The realty index showed a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% between the first quarter of 2010-11 and third quarter of 2014-15, at an all-India level.

Let’s hope we get good rains this year which will not only help improve the economy but also help farmers to grow their crop, rains will be helpful in reducing this heat which has already taken life of many people in differ-ent cities of India.

Hope you all have excellent month and wish you all the best.

ThanksVivek Parikh (Broker Owner)

MARKET SENTIMENTS PICKING UP IN GUJARAT

REALTY BITESGood service is our motto

o May, 15

Facts speak for themselves. The state government's income from the stamp duty and registration fee is increasingly scaling up and had actually gone up in 2013, even when the year had not gone so well for the sector due to many factors. The average monthly collection in 2013 as compared to 2012 was much higher and the trend is believed to continue.

Some of the analysts tracking the Gujarat property market maintain that the investors and buyers have started investing again in the state as they feel that the market rate will increase soon after Lok Sabha elections, so 'now' is the right time. There is a realisation in the Gujarat real estate market that after the elections, many such housing schemes would come in near future. Already Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) and Gujarat Housing Board (GHB) have received a good response from the prospective buyers. This has made the develop-ers extra-cautious.

Manan Choksi, regional director, RE/MAX MGM, seems to agree with the premise. He says, "Gujarat realty market is looking up with healthy transactions. Also, healthy stock market is another driving force. Overall, Gujarat property market has just picked up at the right time." He adds, "Yes, we can give credit to clean image and progressive policies of the state government for this positivity in the market. People are bullish about business in Gujarat. It is the market sentiments and progressive policies that are driving the Gujarat real estate and not the discounts and freebies."

Real estate, after all, is a game of sentiments and more than economic outlook, interest rates and discounts and freebies, what brings the buyers to the market is a kind of positive sentiment that may or may not have a direct bearing with the basic fundamentals of the market. As of now, these sentiments are bullish. This also indicates the resilience of the Gujarat property market. Once the basic fundamentals are in place post the general elections, this positive buyers' sentiments may take Gujarat real estate to a new high. After all, the sentiments have started picking up at the right time. So, in Gujarat property market, it is like take it right now or leave it to repent later."

The sentiments in the property market may have been subdued across the country and the transactions have nosedived in most of the major markets, however, Gujarat real estate seems to be picking up and the sentiments are changing for the better. This is reflective in the transactions that are happening across the state. If the state government's revenue figure is any indication, then the property transaction rate has picked up and is better than the national average. It seems that the right property in the right market at the right price point is doing brisk business in Gujarat.

HEALTH SECTIONGood service is our motto

o May, 15

The reverse-osmosis water purifi-er at home seems to be a benign invention, allowing people to drink clean, healthy water. But now sci-entists are warning that rampant use of the RO technology could pose a serious threat to public health.

Is The RO Filter System A Threat To Public Health?

One of the most popular water purifying technol-ogies in India, the RO process is efficient in terms of filtering out toxic substances like arsenic and fluoride, especially in areas where groundwater is heavily contaminated.

Simultaneously, though, RO systems, at both household and industrial levels plough back concentrated amounts of these substances back into the aquifers.

The arsenic and fluoride-laden waste water generated by RO systems could have "adverse consequences" for human and animal health after it is dumped back into the groundwater aquifers, he told IANS. This could affect the popula-tion in the surrounding area which is dependent on this water source.
