Indian investors frequently compare equities, real estate, and gold. Even while each has special benefits, real estate stands out as the most dependable and lucrative option in the long run.
Over the past 20 years, real estate has continuously outperformed inflation, outpacing both the volatility of equities and gold’s 6-7% yearly growth. Unlike stocks or gold, real estate offers a physical asset with inherent worth. While stock markets faltered during the epidemic, demand for safer, bigger homes increased, confirming the tenacity of real estate.
With rental yields of two to four percent per year in desirable cities and higherr in the suburbs, in addition to value appreciation, real estate creates wealth for generations. Stocks are influenced by market fluctuations, while gold does not generate consistent income. Real estate is an investor-friendly industry because of tax breaks on capital gains and house loans as well as programs like PMAY and REITs.
Indian real estate is expected to increase exponentially, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, as a result of infrastructure projects, urbanisation, and rising earnings. The foundation of long-term wealth building, real estate is a solid option for enduring prosperity due to its stability, usefulness, and policy backing.
