FICCI-ANAROCK Report: Real Estate Stays Top Investment Choice in India
Real Estate News:Mumbai In its latest report, 'Homebuyer Sentiment Survey - H1 2024', the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and ANAROCK Property Consultants have highlighted significant shifts in homebuyer preferences and market dynamics in India's real estate sector. The key findings indicate that real estate remains the most preferred asset class for investment, with 59% of respondents favoring it. While 67% of buyers are seeking properties for personal use, 33% are investing for other purposes.

Interestingly, the demand for ready-to-move homes has seen a significant decline. The ratio of ready homes to new launches has shifted from 46 18 in H1 2020 to 20 25 in the latest survey. This trend reflects a growing confidence in developers and a favorable regulatory environment, particularly due to the implementation of RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority).

The survey also revealed a preference for larger homes, with 51% of respondents opting for 3BHK units. The budget range of Rs 45 to Rs 90 lakh remains the most popular choice (35% preference). However, there is a noticeable shift towards premium properties, with 28% of respondents now preferring homes priced between Rs 90 lakh and Rs 1.5 crore.

Sandip Somany, Past President of FICCI, Mentor of the FICCI Committee on Urban Development and Real Estate, and CMD of Somany Impresa Group, commented, 'The Indian real estate sector has shown remarkable evolution. The significant shift in consumer preferences away from ready-to-move homes towards under-construction properties indicates growing confidence in developers and the regulatory environment. This trend reflects a maturing market and the positive impact of regulatory measures like RERA.'

The comprehensive survey gathered responses from 7,615 participants across 14 cities, shedding light on the significant shifts in homebuyer preferences and emerging trends in the Indian residential real estate market.

Pramod Rao, Executive Director of SEBI, emphasized the importance of regulatory frameworks in driving sustainable growth in the real estate sector. He stated, 'Investor confidence is vital for the industry's long-term success, and SEBI’s focus on transparency and governance has been key in building this trust. Strong compliance and better disclosures will be crucial in attracting institutional investments.'
