Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Property Consultants, attributes this trend to a combination of factors, including the return of IT professionals to offices, expats re-entering the market, and limited ready-to-move-in homes.
When it comes to Mumbai, redevelopment activity is also contributing to the surge in rentals. However, Puri believes that this is a short-term phenomenon and that the overall impact of redevelopment on rental growth is less than 5%.
The decision to rent or buy a home depends on various factors, including affordability, flexibility, taxation, and wealth creation. While renting provides flexibility and tax benefits, buying a home can lead to wealth creation and stability in life.
In terms of capital appreciation versus rental appreciation, Puri believes that capital values will appreciate in single digits, while rentals will stabilize. This trend is likely to continue, with rentals increasing in the short term but stabilizing in the long term.
So, what's behind the sharp spike in home rents in India's top cities? Is it a sustained trend? What does it mean for homebuyers and renters? Here are some answers to these questions and more.
