According to a survey conducted by online property platform CommonFloor across six metros including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, NCR and the Mumbai metropolitan region, nearly 47 per cent of the respondents plan to focus on the rental market to get more business. “RERA is going to have a positive impact on the property market and will grow exponentially upon the exit of unscrupulous builders and brokerage firms. However, due to the slowdown in new project launches, brokers want to focus on the rental market,” the survey said. Further, the brokers are also now planning to shift their business focus from new project launches, to closure of deals of resale properties. “With stringent rules being implemented under RERA, 42 per cent brokers are now planning to realign their business focus from new project launches to closure of deals of resale properties,” it said. However, 39 per cent of the respondents hold a strong opinion of not changing their business focus and will continue dealing with new project launches, the report noted.

As per the survey, nearly 73 per cent of the participants who took part in the survey, consider that the successful implementation of RERA will result in the timely delivery of the projects.
