Coimbatore is witnessing a significant uptick in property registrations, especially in the premium segment. Developers report a scarcity of ready-to-move-in homes as demand climbs.
Key Takeaways
- Property registrations in Coimbatore have surged significantly over the last month.
- The supply of ready-to-occupy properties has plummeted to just 7%.
- High demand is shifting towards the premium segment (₹3cr - ₹3.5cr).
- Construction costs have risen above ₹2,000 per sq.ft.
The real estate landscape in Coimbatore is undergoing a rapid transformation. According to local developers, property registrations have seen a sharp rise in the past month following a sluggish start to the current financial year. This resurgence is being echoed by financial institutions, which reported a high uptake of housing loans throughout July.
S.R. Arvind Kumar, President of CREDAI Coimbatore, highlighted a critical supply-demand gap. He noted that the stock of ready-to-occupy properties is critically low at just 7%, while ongoing projects have approximately 15% availability. This scarcity is driving momentum in the secondary and new-launch markets alike.
The Shift Toward Luxury
A notable trend emerging in the city is the pivot from traditional plots to high-end residential spaces. While demand for plots has seen a slight deceleration, the premium segment—specifically properties priced between ₹3 crore and ₹3.5 crore for roughly 2,200 sq.ft.—is witnessing aggressive growth.
The scarcity of ready-to-move-in inventory is creating a unique high-pressure environment for premium homebuyers in Coimbatore.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that rising construction costs are becoming a pivotal factor for developers. Due to stringent government regulations and court orders, the cost of building materials has spiked, pushing total construction costs to more than ₹2,000 per sq.ft. CREDAI is currently lobbying the Tamil Nadu government for uniform property tax structures across major cities to stabilize the market.
