Stake holder sentiment declines to 59 in Q3 2015 from 71 in Q3
2014:
On-going festive season fails to boost market sentiments!

FICCI- Knight Frank India releases the latest findings of the Real Estate
Sentiment Index for Q3 2015 (July- September 2015)

Dr Samantak Das- Chief Economist & National Director - Research, Knight Frank India shares an overview on Indias Real Estate Sentiment (Residential and Commercial) for Q3 2015

Delayed reforms have weakened the present business sentiment, which explains the down ward trend in the current score. The supply-side stakeholders (developers and financial institutions) believe that todays situation is worse, compared to what it was six months ago. 

Although the future scores at 59 falls in the positive territory, the overall declining trend reects the weakening business condence. The stake holders are particularly pessimistic about the residential sector and they dont foresee any significant recovery in the next six months

However, the optimism about the future is driven mainly by the office space which is expected to experience increase in rentals due to robust leasing volumes and limited supply.
