Which Is A Better Investment Idea? Real Estate Vs Stock Market

Image
In today’s highly informed, hyper-cynical, investment-crazy world, we are constantly on the lookout to safeguard ourselves. We are taught from a young age to save- it starts with our piggy bank, soon taking the shape of an app; the jingle of our coins quickly turning into the pinging of notifications. So, as we go from that tangible saving, we can touch, to numbers on a screen locked away behind ministerial procedures, it’s important we adapt to investment opportunities that may not have been considered, previously. So, which is the better investment, real estate or stock market? The answer is both. Each has its benefits, and each has its drawbacks, and what informs your exact allocation towards either is you- your short and long-term goals, your financial situation, and the fundamental anchor of it all- your risk tolerance. It would be crude to state that any investment is devoid of emotion because each number correlates to your hard work, and this in turn is a key part of your attitu...

Housing Sales Rise By 14% In January-March

Image
The first quarter of 2023 has been an interesting one for real estate, pan-India. For the first time since the Pandemic years, the industry has seen an increase in the year-on-year growth of 50% in residential real estate. Recent studies conducted on the housing sales rise presented that property in Mumbai and Pune contributed to approximately 50% of the overall nationwide sales of residential real estate in 2022. So why may that be so? We’re looking into the various factors that have contributed to the housing sales rise for this first quarter of 2023. To evaluate the various reasons, it would be insincere to paint all the sales with the same brush, so we must first categorise the sales into various sub-segments of residential real estate, based on the price brackets and the subsequent influential factors. Under 1 CR : Affordable housing has not fared as successfully as mid and high-end units, for reasons we will address, however, that is not to say affordable housing was left untouch...

Safety Tips For First Time Home Buyers

Image
How often have you passed by a piece of advertising for a project or property that is ludicrous? Not because of how unaffordable it is, but quite the opposite. Hoardings across the city today advertise down payments that cost less than the average couch, fully furnished flats that can supposedly be purchased at the drop of a hat, and endless views that would cost a pretty penny all at your doorstep. This is a stepping stone to the ‘dark side of marketing’ (a real thing!), where you haven’t been fully manipulated yet, you aren’t  technically  being lied to, and you convince yourself against all prevailing experience that this is an achievable promise. It isn’t. If today you were verbally told that you could secure a home for less than 30 lakhs, you would not be convinced, because it is human nature to believe that if something is ‘too good to be true’ it’s because it usually is. However, take that same information, aesthetically designed, splashed on a hoarding, and protected b...
