Finding Value in Housing: Look for Localities with Rental Yields Above 3%
Real Estate News:The Indian real estate market is experiencing a resurgence after a period of correction from 2015 to 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic further affected the market, but now it's witnessing a cyclical uptick. According to a recent report from Credai, Colliers, and Liases Foras, housing prices have risen by 10% year-on-year on average across the country's top eight cities in the first quarter of 2024.

While cities like Bengaluru, Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), Ahmedabad, and Pune have registered double-digit growth, the price growth has been in single digits in Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), and Chennai. Experts warn that buyers who delay their purchase may be forced to buy at higher prices later.

The current rise in prices can be attributed to the overall rise in demand and an increase in rental yields. There is strong demand for housing, particularly in areas with high rental yields. Therefore, investors should focus on localities with rental yields above 3% to get the best value.
