Finding Value in Housing: Look for Areas with Rental Yield Above 3%
Real Estate:The Indian real estate sector has been on a growth trajectory, with housing prices rising by 10% year-on-year on average across top cities. While this growth may seem promising, it's essential for buyers to exercise caution and look for value in housing. One way to do this is by identifying areas with a rental yield above 3%.

The establishment of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera) in 2016 has forced developers to complete their projects on time, leading to a surge in demand for housing. As a result, housing prices have risen significantly, with cities like Bengaluru, Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), Ahmedabad, and Pune registering double-digit growth.

However, experts warn that buyers who procrastinate amid this steady rise in prices may be compelled to buy at higher prices later. Therefore, it's crucial to identify areas with a high rental yield, which can provide a steady source of income and offset the costs of ownership.

The Indian real estate sector has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by factors such as urbanization, increasing demand, and government initiatives. The establishment of Rera has brought in much-needed transparency and accountability in the sector, leading to a surge in demand for housing.
