Real estate prices may crash up to 20% post Covid-19: Deepak Parekh

Mumbai: Deepak Parekh, Chairman of mortgage lender Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), on Tuesday said the real estate prices in the country would correct by up to 20 per cent in the wake of coronavirus pandemic and the resultant nationwide lockdown.

“Prices of real estate have to come down, and will come down,” Parekh said in an address to real estate developers at a webinar organised by the National Real Estate Development Council (Naredco). “I believe Naredco’s estimate is around 10-15 per cent. One must be prepared for even 20 per cent,” he added.
