An analysis of the Indian luxury real estate market

Gone are the days when people compromised on residential facilities and amenities. These days, everyone wishes to have a gym or swimming pool on their residential premises. Convenience is no longer an option. It has become a compulsion to homeowners. Thankfully, the Indian real estate market has evolved from being a market obsessive about a home with a location to a new and vibrant concept of branded homes. Luxury housing concept refers to houses that are approximately 2000 sq. feet in area as the starting size of apartments. It goes onto much larger sizes depending on the category of luxury housing that the project is looking at offering. At this moment, potential buyers are checking out luxury villas for sale in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Today, luxury homes are the fastest growing segment of residential housing. Studies reveal that to cater to this growth in demand, India would require 1.5 million luxury homes over the next 15 years.

• How has globalization contributed to the development of luxury real estate?

In the last decade, rapid globalization has paved the way for employment opportunities. Due to this, income earned on the executive level is significantly high. Individuals from this segment are exposed to world-class amenities, are well-read, well-traveled, and thus, have an idea of what they want as a reflection of their taste and lifestyle. It has acted as a catalyst and paved the way for real estate developers to earn high-incentives while simultaneously catering to the housing needs of the uber wealthy of the city. These are the ones who are happy to pay for a luxurious property that would be an indicator of their social and financial standing.

Indian real estate market has witnessed a surge in the sale of properties due to an emerging concept of owning more than one luxury property by the upper segments of society. Investment in premium properties further diversifies the assets of an individual and is primarily motivated by a variety of reasons that range towards a passionate inclination or even investment purposes.

• Factors that draw potential buyers towards luxurious segment

There are multiple factors that a customer keeps in mind before investing in luxurious properties. Apartments and villas in Devanahalli, Bangalore, and other locations of South India are widely in demand. The location is stated to be the prime factor. Outstanding infrastructure, the status of people living in the vicinity, trouble-free access to nearby locations, etc. play a crucial role. Properties that are situated near golf courses, beaches, mountain tops are all time favorite developments. Research indicates that top locations in luxury segments in India are like ones that have an inclination towards environment-friendly projects. A vast number of individuals are demanding homes that would have less impact or no impact on the Eco-system. Green Homes make use of Eco-friendly/recycled materials for construction, use of solar energy and bio-gas plants, have more windows to allow natural light. These are some features that are considered while making a purchase.

• What is the future of luxury residential real estate in India?

Major steps are being taken towards the creation of intelligent living spaces. The use of high-tech built-in features that allow you to lock-unlock doors, air-conditioners, turn on the lights, etc., with a click of your phone, high-speed elevators and security systems such as limited access cards always makes a mark. Builders are even collaborating with international designers and brands to create a statement. Currently, the luxury real estate market is going through a slowdown due to an oversupply situation. NRIs are skeptical about the investment in this sector due to global economic downturn.

Ultimately, a smart buyer knows that it would make sense to use, this time, as the property prices are at an all-time-low, and would rise in the long run.

Emerging Trend of Affordable Luxury Housing

~ win- win situation for all

Fast emerging HNI segment in Delhi NCR has boosted strong demand for luxury homes, so much so that this segment has surpassed all expectations. Due to high disposable income and greater aspirations, HNI buyers naturally want to lead a better standard of life and hence the demand for quality dwellings has witnessed considerable upsurge. Even to meet their expectations, a large number of developers have also ventured into this segment, resulting into a massive upsurge of luxury housing projects around the capital.

However, not every project is compatible to provide the truly desired luxury and most of the so called luxury projects are nothing, but demonstration of basic luxury features and amenities. To fulfill the actual demand of the buyers and in order to provide similar facilities and amenities ‘affordable luxury’ is another growing segment. In this segment a strong demand has been witnessed over the years which have created a win-win situation for everyone. In other words, the concept of luxury homes in India is striving hard to have relevance to a wider cross-section of the population.

Resultant, the affordable luxury homes segment is fulfilling all the expectations in the integrated township format. Luxury living projects though involve larger spaces and the provision of exclusive features such as individual swimming pools, reserved parking and smart interiors, affordable luxury projects on the other hand, offer all these facilities, but in compact format.  In addition affordable luxury homes located in such a setting also bring with them the matchless benefits of integrated township living for the home-buyers.

Such projects are helpful for the middle income group in realizing their dream of improving their lifestyle. Affordable luxury projects have successfully captured the larger market by providing the home buyers actually what they truly want rather than what artificially created standards of luxury offers.

In simple terms affordable luxury project are developed in such a manner that these remain in the financial reach of a much larger audience. The whole aim of developing such projects is centered around a distinct luxury flavor and experience without pricing the project out of the pocket of the mid-income segment of buyers. Affordable luxury projects are thus conceived and designed to meet the aspirations of middle-income buyers and so the developer has to upgrade the projects to a superior lifestyle without increasing their financial burden.

However, looking at the current real estate development scenario and the inspirational level of the home buyers, affordable luxury market segment is a good investment option.

2015 will showcase high demand for luxurious homes in India

What does the real estate market hold in store for potential buyers and investors in the year 2015? Can consumers expect high returns on investment from luxury properties, apartments, and luxurious homes in India? There are numerous questions that may puzzle the consumers and it is crucial to make the right choice. Read further to discover how luxurious homes in India are set to elevate the real estate sector in 2015.

• Real estate seen as a commodity

It has been known that the real estate and infrastructure sector has been the backbone of the Indian economy and a significant contributor to the economic growth of the country. Earlier, housing was seen as a form of luxury and lifestyle purchase. It was barely perceived as a commodity. During 2012-2014, investors and other buyers scooped up undervalued homes and took advantage of short sales, boosting overall sales volumes of luxurious homes in India. Real estate has become speculative because products have become short-term commodities. Buying second properties without the intent of flipping is not an easy task. There were many who bought luxury properties because they believed that earning high returns on investment in real estate was easy.

• Rental market shows high demand

The 2014 apartment construction boom will lead to more supply in 2015, since multi-unit buildings take about a year to build. The NDA government aims to develop ‘smart cities’ across the nation and provide housing for all. Though a large number of buyers will be seen as homeowners, there would be an enormous number of interested buyers who will enter the market as renters. These days, the standard of living has progressed and people prefer renting luxurious homes in India.

• The rise of nuclear families

Some may argue that joint families are still prevalent. No doubt, they still exist, but they have reduced in number. Young adults who are earning decent salaries plan households, which is another cause for the boom in real estate sales. The availability of loans in the market, both individual as well joint loans, makes it easier and less troublesome for interested buyers.

• The supply and demand relationship

Today, there is high speculation about the demand and supply. When people wish to purchase or sell luxury properties, they do so, on the basis of speculation. You may have seen how the internet is constantly buzzing with the speculation of property rates. Real estate agents add to the buzz by predicting if the market will crash or rise. This speculation has enhanced volatility in the market and made it more unpredictable. So potential buyers who wish to buy luxurious homes or moderate budget homes in India should keep a track of the supply and demand levels.

• Fear of the rising interest rates

Can you imagine buying a house when the interest rates are sky high? Real estate developers have figured out that people rush to purchase homes with the fear that interest rates on home loans may shoot up. Buyers need to focus on tangible and concrete factors while making a purchase. They need to ensure that they are not extending their financial abilities in the quest for home ownership.

• Think before you act

Acquiring a house is a big decision and should be taken seriously, especially if you are planning to buy luxurious homes in India. You can be impulsive while buying a pair of shoes, but you cannot be the same while house hunting. Sometimes, predictions may state that the real estate prices will fluctuate in the short term and shoot up in the long term. But that does not mean you blindly follow predictions. If you wish to buy luxury properties as a long term investment, then take a look at the rental income that you can receive. See if it covers your expenses and provides a good profit margin.

• Luxurious homes in India available at decent prices

Can you imagine living in a luxury apartment that you grabbed at a reasonable rate? House of Hiranandani (HOH), which is one the renowned builders in the country, has developed high-quality constructions and are making them available at moderate prices in the country. They believe that people from all walks of life are entitled to taste luxury and developing luxurious homes in the metropolitan cities of India.

Buying a house is entirely your choice and House of Hiranandani believes that you deserve the best. So, look out for their luxury properties in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. Purchase exquisite and luxurious homes in India that are designed to meet your comfort needs.
