Homecoming: Why NRIs almost always Invest in Indian Real Estate

Homecoming: Why NRIs almost always Invest in Indian Real Estate

If we had to sum up the real estate climate of India in one word, it would be, ‘Dynamic’. The property market of India is estimated to be valued at $180 billion by the year 2020. Several parameters affect the landscape and graph of Indian real estate, namely:

  • The rate of economic growth
  • Inflation
  • Consumption patterns of consumers
  • Government policies

Below are some of the prevailing trends in Indian Real Estate currently:

Indian Real Estate in 2019: An Overview

  • Emphasis on affordable and mid-segment category
  • Unsold inventory on the decline
  • Affordable housing and alternate assets such as co-living, student housing as a big fad among the younger audience. The concept of affordable housing has been picking up quickly, in tier ii and tier iii Cities
  • A lowered GST rate (from 5% to 1%) has been a move to instil buyer confidence
  • Digitized processes help people transact from around the world, in a more simplified manner

With a positive outlook, backed by healthy demand and quality supply across sectors, India’s real estate looks to grow stronger from 2019 into 2020. The above points paint a picture of optimism and confidence for anyone planning on investing in a home, especially if you’re an NRI.

Real Estate: An NRI’s favourite type of investment

Even though non-resident Indians have often struggled with Indian Real Estate, it still remains a favourite investment option for them. Many NRIs return at some point, ensuring that their home is a sound investment for the future. They also invest with a view of getting regular rentals in the future.

NRI’s primarily invest in real estate for the following:

  • An investment that yields returns
  • Settling down for retirement
  • Securing one’s family’s future
  • Returning to one’s own country out of sentiment
  • Building financial assets

Of late, there has been a surge in the number of non-resident Indians investing in India, due to the following factors:

  • The fall in the value of rupee against the US dollar, which has motivated NRIs to make investments.
  • With a regulatory authority like Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) coming into effect, there is more accountability, transparency and efficiency being disclosed to buyers, in terms of projects under construction. In the long run, such regulations will ensure on-time project completion and quality construction that’s at par with international standards. As a result, NRIs feel their future, as an investor in the Indian real estate space, is confident and promising.  
  • There are more investment-friendly measures and schemes
  • Today, Real Estate developers are building NRI centric residential projects. They are providing prospective buyers with premium luxury options, complete with the best of world-class amenities and facilities that are at par with international standards. The non-resident buyer won’t even feel like they’ve left or traded away their quality of life or lifestyle.
  • Young non-resident Indians are more inclined to purchase property in India as a long-term asset for long-term returns.
