How do you explain the boom in the real estate sector?

India is the most populous country in the world. The average age of India’s population is 28 years. India’s population is young and seeks a better standard of living. India’s real estate boom is primarily fuelled by this young, ambitious population. India is the fifth largest economy in the world. The strong financial position of India is also aiding the growth of the real estate industry. The rising trend of the nuclear family is also a vital factor. Lastly, the aspiration for larger homes and better amenities leads to residential real estate growth across India.

What are some of the trends that will influence the sector?

• Growth of the nuclear family
• Aspiration for larger homes
• Wish list of buildings with amenities

In my view, the above three trends will continue to influence the real estate sector in India.
