According to a report by Standard Chartered Bank on the Indian real estate sector, the pan-India residential inventory level during 2011 March year was lowest in the last 3 years. In other words, there were more buyers in the market in March in the last three years (2010, 2009, 2008). However, this may change in the near future.
Inventory Means..!
Inventory is the total amount of goods or material contained in a store or factory at any given time. The word "inventory" can refer to both the total amount of goods and the act of counting them.
Many companies take an inventory of their supplies on a regular basis in order to avoid running out of popular items.
The real estate industry, produces products, including apartments, villas, commercial spaces and plots. For real estate companies, the number of residential or commercial units at a given time is their inventory.
Real estate inventory levels basically indicates the sale momentum for a company or a region in a particular period. It is normally measured in months/yeard and, therefore, shows the time a company or region may take to sell existing units at the current sales pace. For example, if a company, Name 'A' has 20 lakh sq. ft Space and expects to sell the entire stock in 3 months, the firm would have an inventory for 3 months. But if a second company, Name 'B' has 25 lakh sq. ft Space and expects it to sell in 3 months itself, the 'B' company's inventory, too, will have an inventory for 3 months.
When sales witness a slump, or when there are less buyers in the market, the inventory level goes up as new supply in the form of new properties keep adding to the inventory. This also shows that a company is witnessing poor sales. On the other hand, if a company is able to sell more number of units, it shows that the company is registering healthy sales. Any company with high inventory may be facing construction related problems, which may directly impact a project you may be wanting to buy a house in.
where we find this details?
Stock market listed companies give information on the stock sold in a quarter in their financial results. The results document also contains information about whether the company missed its yearly target of development and subsequent sales of the inventory. These figures may not give you the exact number of inventory with a company, but it will give you an idea if the inventory is piling up because of a slow down in the market. It is difficult to collect information about unlisted companies in the absence of any regulatory authority.
