Investment Outlook — 2026
Ottiyambakkam's price per sqft has moved -2.5% year-on-year — a declining trend for Chennai real estate. Prices here have corrected over the past year — this can reflect a temporary supply overhang, a high prior-year base, or softer local demand. Worth checking the trend against recent transaction data before treating it as a long-term signal.
For investors: the Mid-Premium price band combined with the recent -2.5% correction may offer a better entry price than the trailing 12 months, though it's worth confirming the decline isn't tied to a local oversupply issue before buying. Rental demand in mid-premium-segment localities typically runs at 3.5–4.2% gross yield.
