Mumbai Real Estate Trends: Vastu Homes Gain Popularity Across Budgets
Mumbai’s real estate market is experiencing a significant shift towards Vastu-compliant homes. From budget-friendly apartments to extravagant bungalows, the demand for properties that adhere to the principles of Vastu Shastra is on the rise. This trend is driven by a growing belief in the spiritual and practical benefits of Vastu, which is an ancient Indian science of architecture and design.
The popularity of Vastu-compliant homes is not limited to a particular budget segment. Young professionals and first-time buyers are just as enthusiastic about Vastu as affluent investors and multi-millionaires. For instance, two months ago, a young tenant rented a three-bedroom apartment in a Vastu-compliant building. The token amount he paid to the property owner was just a small part of the process, but it symbolized the growing acceptance and trust in Vastu principles.
Vastu Shastra, which translates to 'science of architecture,' is an ancient practice that aims to create harmonious and balanced living spaces. It involves the strategic placement of rooms, doors, windows, and other elements to align with the natural flow of energy. Many believe that living in a Vastu-compliant home can bring good health, prosperity, and happiness. The principles of Vastu Shastra are rooted in the idea that the orientation and layout of a property can have a profound impact on the well-being of its occupants.
Developers in Mumbai are increasingly incorporating Vastu principles into their designs. This trend is evident in both new constructions and the renovation of older properties. Many elite builders are now offering Vastu-compliant luxury homes, which can cost anywhere from ₹1 crore to ₹100 crore. These high-end properties often feature advanced amenities and cutting-edge design, but the Vastu compliance is a key selling point.
One such developer, Ramesh Patel, has seen a surge in demand for Vastu-compliant homes in Mumbai. Patel's company, Ramesh Builders, has built several Vastu-compliant projects, ranging from mid-range apartments to luxury villas.
