The real estate boom in India has created a new avenue for NRI investments.
There is a growing number of houses being purchased by this segment. The
growth in NRI residential sales, which rose significantly over the last year,
underscores this point.
According to a report by NoBroker forecast report, NRI investments in India's
real estate sector is poised to contribute 20% by 2025. This surge in demand
can be attributed to several factors, both monetary and otherwise.
Sentimentality has always been a key driving factor of NRI purchases in India,
but with the world’s best comforts being available in India, the sentimental
reason for buying a home “back home” amongst the NRIs, is also supported by
valid reasons for quality real estate investing.
To make matters more compelling, the technological revolutions that the entire
world has witnessed in the 21st century have now made it easy for people from
any part of the world to invest in different parts of the world with minimal
hassles. Not just that, the technology also makes it easier for buyers around
the world to have access to information on a real-time basis.
While Mumbai and Bengaluru are the preferred destinations for NRI investors,
other smaller cities have also been part of the real estate boom, especially the
demand propelled by NRIs. With the availability of a cosmopolitan lifestyle,
world-class educational institutions, and a thriving start-up ecosystem, real
estate investment in Indian cities is quickly becoming a highly recommended
investment destination. As far as preferences in ticket size are concerned, NRI
buyers are typically looking for properties with a budget exceeding 1 crore. This
number is more than 25% according to different reports. This is an indication
that NRIs investing in Indian real estate are looking to find high-value
investments in the Indian Real Estate Market.
It is worth noting that NRIs do have their qualms about the sector as well,
specifically speaking, many are wary of a lack of transparency while navigating
the Indian real estate markets. This highlights the urgent need for improved
accessibility in the home-buying process in India. Property management
services are an ideal solution for many who find the lack of information on
regulations too cumbersome to manage by themselves. Property Management
services are on the rise in India precisely to capture this category of NRIs. The
services offered by such providers can be diverse and include services such as
finding and maintaining tenants (And their agreements). Such options give
NRIs the much-needed peace of mind that they are looking for while managing
their properties in India.
The good news is that the real estate market is in such a phase in India right
now that the market is dynamic and ripe for innovation. The innovation is being
spread across the board when it comes to the real estate industry at large, from
property management services to utilities offered by residential properties. One
just needs to take a look at the growing skyline of a city like Mumbai to get a
visual illustration of the growth in the city’s (the country’s) real estate sector. In
addition, the Indian economy as a whole is heavily prioritizing sustainable
practices and sustainable industry. This focus on environmental issues that is
persistent in the Indian diaspora of today, has led to plenty of availability of
sustainable homes for environmentally conscious NRIs looking for a value
investment in real estate. What’s more is that these sustainably made homes
are available across ticket sizes, giving NRIs a big pool of investment
opportunities to choose from.
All things considered; things are looking bright for the Indian real estate sector.
It must be mentioned that increased government spending on capital
expenditure nationally has also been a gradual amplifying factor for the rising
demand in Indian real estate, not just from NRIs but also foreign investors of
varied heritage. One can say that every aspect of Indian Real Estate is on the
verge of a demand wave the likes of which the nation, and possibly the world,
hasn’t seen before.
