What are the new trends in real estate in India

 


The Indian real estate sector has been on a roller coaster ride in recent years, with its fair share of ups and downs. However, with the implementation of government policies such as the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the sector is showing signs of recovery. In this article, Mr. Ashish Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, SpaceMantra shared some of the new trends in real estate in India.

1.         Affordable Housing: Affordable housing is one of the fastest-growing segments in the Indian real estate sector. The government has launched schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) to provide affordable housing to the economically weaker sections and middle-income groups. The demand for affordable housing is high, and builders are responding by constructing smaller, more affordable homes.

2.         Co-living Spaces: Co-living spaces are becoming increasingly popular among millennials and young professionals who are looking for affordable accommodation with a sense of community. Co-living spaces provide fully furnished rooms with shared living spaces, such as kitchens, lounges, and workspaces, and amenities like Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and security. These spaces are typically located in urban areas, close to transport links and other amenities.

3.         Sustainable Real Estate: Sustainability is a growing trend in the Indian real estate sector, with developers increasingly looking to build green buildings that are energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Builders are incorporating features such as rainwater harvesting, solar power, and waste management systems to reduce the environmental impact of their buildings.

4.         Technology: Technology is changing the face of the Indian real estate sector, with developers using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to showcase properties to potential buyers. Developers are also using drones to conduct surveys of properties and using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate various processes in the sector.

5.         Co-working Spaces: Co-working spaces are becoming increasingly popular in India, with the rise of startups and freelancers. Co-working spaces provide shared office space with facilities such as Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, and coffee shops. These spaces are typically located in urban areas, close to transport links and other amenities.

6.         Smart Homes: Smart homes are another growing trend in the Indian real estate sector, with developers incorporating features such as home automation, security systems, and energy management systems into their buildings. Smart homes use technology to make life easier and more convenient for homeowners, with features like voice-activated assistants and remote-controlled appliances.

In conclusion, the Indian real estate sector is undergoing a transformation, with new trends emerging that cater to changing consumer needs and preferences. Affordable housing, co-living spaces, sustainable real estate, technology, co-working spaces, and smart homes are some of the new trends that are shaping the sector. It will be interesting to see how these trends evolve and influence the future of the Indian real estate sector.
