Tier I Cities Most Preferred Residential Investment Options

Feb. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Prospective home buyers need to look at certain drivers of accessibility, infrastructure and locational viability in a city to earn a profitable return on investment. After the global economic downturn, buyers are now being more cautious about their real estate investment decisions. Locations which show affordability and future capital appreciation potential are preferred. According to a Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj (JLLM) survey, the most viable cities in terms of residential investment potential currently are Gurgaon and Noida in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad. Abhishek Kiran Gupta, head-research, JLLM, says tier I cities are currently the most preferred residential investment options. "These have a multitude of diversified market drivers and huge latent demand due to inward migration and higher spending power. The preferences range from affordable options within closest proximity to traditional workplace hubs to rationally priced luxury housing at status address locations."

Besides the tier I cities, there are also some other cities that are gaining ground for investment purposes. Cities such as Bhubaneswar, Patna, Gwalior, Pune, Rudrapur and Nagpur are some examples. "These cities have several attractive features such as being IT, BPO, academic, pharmaceutical or financial and commercial hubs. Hence, a lot of people are migrating to these cities thereby adding to the demand for real estate," feels Rajeev Rai, VP (corporate), Assotech. The developer has residential housing projects in Delhi NCR. Demand, according to developers, is mainly concentrated in the Rs 30 lakh to Rs 60 lakh category. "The demand has been picking up over the last few months. It is mostly for the affordable housing segment with end-users making up a majority of the market," says Vijay Jindal, CMD, SVP Group. Interestingly, a lot of developers shifted their product portfolio from luxury housing to affordable segment when economic downturn slowed down demand. Mr Gupta of JLLM feels that unlike its counterparts, the residential sector has begun to show signs of stability in many markets, and even recovery in certain cities. "Whether this trend will continue depends on economic factors (mortgage rates, GDP growth, labour market stability) and on prudent decisions by developers on issues relating to prices and quality of product being offered," he says....http://www.maaproperties.com/Pages/ModuleContent.aspx?Mod...
