The impact is likely to be seen in secondary markets for all asset classes thereby making real estate more illiquid for a period of time till the market adjusts to a new normal. The primary market which is largely driven by large developers is unlikely to get affected that much as most large and reputed developers already do not deal with cash transactions.

With this step of demonetisation, banks are again going to be flushed with liquidity of around ` 15 lakh crores and will be compelled to lend aggressively. To do that they will have to lower interest rates. Demonetising currency has also removed surplus liquidity from the market which will result in reducing inflation.

It is a much needed and opportune move as a follow-up to the one time compliance window that recently shut. The country’s growth agenda will receive a major boost and the impact of this decision, while creating discomfort in the short term, but will have far reaching benefits in the long term. It will certainly enable a shift of all transactions to a more transparent and compliance driven mechanism as a whole.

Demonetisation, coupled with the implementation of RERA will make the buying process for consumers more transparent.
Vipin Sondhi, MD & CEO, JCB IndiaA very bold and ambitious step by the government to curb black money. This will help the country move towards more digital transactions and become a cashless economy. After GST, this is another major effort by the government towards its vision of transforming India into a global investment destination.

With this move we await a softening of the home loan rates as there will be excess liquidity which can be a benefit to the home buyer. We foresee enhanced confidence of global investors looking to invest in the real estate sector.

This move would help in curbing the flow of black money into the economy, bringing a lot more transparency in the industry (real estate).
Over the next 12 months, lot of money will flow into financial instruments and hard assets like real estate, since people will be encouraged to disclose their earnings willingly. This is likely to improve liquidity and lowering of interest rates, all of which will help boost the economic growth.
