He said that home buyers have many housing choices in the southern and western suburbs. President of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) Tamil Nadu, Suresh Krishn, said that the housing sales would be impacted due to the lockdown restriction due to the third wave of the pandemic. However, the demand will revive after the situation is eased. Senior Director of Knight Frank India, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Srinivas Anikipatti, said that the housing bookings would be lower during the lockdown due to the closure of the registration offices.
