Although the pandemic has caused significant changes in our everyday lives, real estate investments are here to stay and will continue to increase in popularity.
Investors prefer to have a larger proportion of their portfolios allotted to secure and generally non-volatile investment alternatives during the various waves of the pandemic.
Determine if you should invest in commercial, residential, financial instruments, or physical assets.
Picking the right investment for one’s needs is essential to get started on the right foot. Commercial assets are expected to do well as the vaccination drive reaches its maximum, with flexible office space strategies becoming more widespread across global businesses in the future, as well as a demand for more space between workstations in current workplaces. Grade A offices in particular areas, as well as coworking facilities closer to residential areas in major cities, are segments to consider investing in.
Residential properties, on the other hand, are far more accessible to most investors, both for self-use and for investment purposes. They’re also less difficult to sell.
Before investing, carefully consider the city and area.
Choosing the correct city is critical to the asset’s long-term performance. Population and demand growth, as well as rise in family income levels, are some of the main elements to consider when investing in the residential sector in a city. After deciding on a city, deciding on the correct micro-market is essential. Connectivity is another important element that contributes to an area’s market value.
Analyse the building’s architecture, design, quality, and facilities.
Well-designed properties contribute to wealth creation by being visually beautiful for many years while still being functionally useful, resulting in a significant increase in market value. When it comes to choosing a project, enough outside areas and sporting amenities should be at the top of the list.
Look for pricing that is honest and open.
Developers that give openness and fairness in their pricing, where prices are exclusively connected to the worth of the underlying units, should be considered. This will provide a fair playing field regardless of whether one wishes to purchase or sell at a later date.
Allow time for your investments to pay off, and keep pandemics in mind while making long-term plans.
Since real estate is a solid and reliable asset category, it is also important to note that it is less liquid than, say, fixed deposits. While there are several possibilities for advertising and selling a home on the internet, the final transaction is usually contingent on a personal inspection of the home, which may not be possible during a lockdown. With enough time in hand, then, one may identify purchasers and sell at the appropriate price.
India’s investment opportunities in this area are diverse and are only anticipated to grow as the nation becomes wealthier and more developed. Though this pandemic has caused significant changes in our everyday lives, real estate investments are here to stay and will continue to increase in popularity, and if done correctly, may give a stable basis for one’s portfolio.
