The Hindu
Increase in construction material and labour cost cited as the reason
Property prices in the city are estimated to go up by 10-20% due to escalating raw material prices.
““Property prices are rising due to an increase in construction material and labour cost. Price of stock across the city has gone up by ₹100-200. Cost of steel, cement, copper wires, switches have all increased and eventually developers have to pass this on to clients,” said P. Kruthivas, Convener of FAIRPRO 2023.
“Unsold inventory is at the lowest when compared to last five years. New stock is coming up across Chennai,” he added.
