One of the other features is ‘Activity’, which keeps track of agents you contact and takes feedback to ensure availability of listed homes. Users can also keep track of messages to agents directly from the website. This would not only help users get what they want, but will also significantly reduce the time, energy and money spent on finding a house. Within the next one month, the app will also be launched, adding new features and enhancing the overall functionality of the rental offering.

The genesis of brand ecis2016.org was to address the issue of finding homes for rent in metros and major cities. Hence, the reintroduction of rentals is a crucial step for the brand, which is a leading player in the segment. With the re-launch, the portal has over 60,000 verified units listed to be rented with the number expected to exceed 2,00,000 in three months’ time. It will also contribute substantially to the overall traffic to the portal which is expected to touch 10 million by the end of FY2018.
Recent industry trends indicate that the demand for affordable rental properties has steadily increased over the past six months. As per latest industry figures, the residential property market across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune and Chennai, witnessed an increase of 8% to 12% in average weighted rental values against capital values for the year 2016. This move also follows feedback received from a cross-section of the real estate ecosystem including brokers, for whom rentals are a business critical solution and end-users for whom it is a basic need.
Verified listings and other features of the rental offering
Commenting about this, Mani Rangarajan, Chief Business Officer – Platform Business Unit, ecis2016.org said, “Renting a house is the first step for most individuals towards living independently and eventually buying a home, which makes it a critical part of the home-buying lifecycle. The reintroduction of rentals is a very strategic decision for us, both from a brand salience and business perspective. We are certain that this step will take us closer to our objective of becoming the preferred real estate platform for everyone looking for a home.”
