The famous expression ‘Roti, Kapda aur Makaan’, for Indians, owning a home is an absolute must. While most people are comfortable renting a home, nothing quite compares to joy and satisfaction of living in a place you can call your own. This desire to own a home is further boosted by the fact that there are many regulatory changes like RERA in recent years and a push for affordable housing from the government.
Beyond regulation and pride, there are some practical reasons why Indians find home ownership enticing.
1. The ‘real’ investment: We’re still a touch and feel economy, where most of us would like to see our investments which is why people prefer gold as a hot favorite. A real estate investment is very much in line with this thought process. Seeing the value of your asset grow year on year is one of the reasons why people choose to invest in a
home.
2. Predictable outcomes: A real estate investment has a guaranteed return as opposed to say the stock market. The return is exponential, especially if the investment is in an up and coming area or shows growth potential. In micro markets like Yelahanka and Bellandur in Bangalore, not only do people receive great ROIs on sale of
a property, they also get assure rentals that increase year on year.
3. Make a mess, it’s still your own: Landlords have a way of being intrusive in how you maintain your home, and as average household incomes increase, people would rather move into their own homes instead of dealing with the constant presence of a nosy landlord.
4. Benefit from the Equity Build – up – The money that goes towards rent can be directed towards paying off your loans. You are paying for the house you are going to live in, better yet, if you invest in a ready to move in home, you can enjoy you own home while paying for it. After you pay off the loan, you have your own place
and a chunk of savings in your bank account.
5. Finally, personalization: While personalization of your space is not the #1 reason to invest, the freedom to experiment with decor, try new ideas and even change the look and feel of your space. Getting custom made furnishings, furniture and even storage for your home really enriches the quality of life you enjoy.
