Special Post Budget 2015 Housing Sentiment Survey
n Post Budget 2015 sentiment fell by 29% to HSI 84 compared to the post-election survey of May 2014. Sentiments are falling steadily post elections
n 9 out of the 10 cities surveyed posted over 20% reduction in sentiment with Ahmedabad witnessing a 14% correction
n A majority of those who expect prices to increase expect only a 0-5% increase
n Majority of those who expect a price correction expect a 10%-15% correction in home prices
n Seller sentiment is still in the positive with HSI at 146 (9% reduction since elections)
n Buyer Sentiment fell from 118 in May 2014 to 84 immediately after Budget 2015
The value of HSI can range from 0 to 200. A score of 100 represents neutrality, meaning people don’t expect house prices to either increase or decrease. A score of 200 indicates that all respondents expect house prices to increase. A score of 0 indicates that all respondents expect house prices to decrease. The index is based on the “Diffusion Index” methodology that is widely used to capture market sentiments globally. HSI is calculated by taking the difference of total positive and negative sentiments after adjusting for the magnitude of neutral responses and other biases inherent in survey based work.

n Over 65% respondents prefer flats (HSI 88) while 13% prefer to invest in land (HSI 92)

Sentiments by Home Type2
[ SENTIMENT BY TIME HORIZON ]
n Over 50% want to buy property within the next six months as compared to the 44% immediately after elections. Coupled with drop in sentiment (HSI 88) for this segment, it shows more people perceive that prices are likely to decrease and wish to benefit from such developments
n Nearly 50% respondents are waiting for prices to drop (HSI 65) while only 11% are waiting for interest rates to come down (HSI 92). This posts a question mark on the role which decrease in home loan rates can play in improving the fortunes of the reality sector
Sentiments by Time
n While there is an overall drop in sentiment for each category, those attributing home purchase to financial constraints are more optimistic than those attributing it to either high interest rates or inflated prices
n Analysis of the last few quarters shows that the former segment has been on an average 15% more optimistic than the latter

Housing Sentiment IndexThe Housing Sentiment Index (HSI) is jointly developed by IIM-Bangalore & Magicbricks. The index is based on an online survey of prospective home
buyers after careful screening by Magicbricks (magicbricks.com) and IIM-B. A seller survey was also launched across the nation to track buyer and seller preferences and sentiments. Results of both surveys are documented in this
report. Every quarter we closely monitor survey responses to ensure data credibility is high. We also plan to verify the online survey data collected with samples collected from property shows across cities periodically to ensure the
convenient sample data collected is representative of the true population.
