Here are some of the valuable takeaways- Why luxury As per data with the Ministry of Overseas Affairs and Assocham, the switch towards luxury housing in India has been determined by factors, such as urbanisation, changing lifestyles, rural to urban migration, conducive demographics, sufficient disposable income and a large population opting for a nuclear family set up. One of the most “vibrant and dynamic segments of Indian real estate industry,” Joshi says luxury lifestyle is becoming a popular choice for the buyers. As also, the shift from “speculation based to demand based” choices have redefined patterns of investment. As for the scope of appreciation, Joshi says, “it necessarily gives you higher returns on lower risk.” Buyers’ profile Apart from Delhi and Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad also have sizeable luxury consumers. The southern cities mentioned here go in for varied choices- apartments to penthouses and villas. Top management of the IT/ITes, large-scale tradesmen and business magnates go in for luxury, whereas Bangalore happens to be the niche choice of several US-based NRIs. The luxury market in India is growing and has trickled to secondary cities as well. “There are more end users than the investors in this segment. If you see sales going up, it means disposable income has increased,” says Joshi. Such is the pricing of properties in the market that usually developers do not give discounts at the launch stage.
