India Property Market Set for Massive Change

The India property market is on the cusp of a massive change. Land prices in India have quadrupled over the past three years as developers paid major sums for land to build developments of luxury housing, with starting prices upwards of $250,000 per unit. The number of people earning over $5000 per year is expected to double to more than 20million in the next two years, not least because of the 2.5 million students teaming out of Indian universities each year. And land prices are expected to fall again in the near future, as developers realise that the real demand in India is for affordable housing.

David Stanley Redfern Ltd got in on the new trend early with their Mountain View development in Rudrapur, in which 2 bedroom apartment were available for under £30k. Mountain View is almost completely sold out now but another development is being built just up the road, and it will also offer affordable housing, ready to capitalise on the massive demand there will be for such housing in the next two years.

Demand which there will certainly be in Rudrapur, which was designated a Special Economic Zone by the Indian government, offering tax incentives for companies to move into the area. And move into the area they did, with some 450 new factories being built, or already trading on what will become a massive industrial estate on the outskirts of Rudrapur.

These factories will employ 300,000 people when they are finished, at least 50,000 from outside the area and who will definitely be looking for affordable housing to rent, meaning owners of Rudrapur apartments will cash in on the residential lets. But it is also a fairly safe bet that even those employed in the new factories from within the area will be looking for affordable rented accommodation; people living with parents using their new wage to fly the nest, and staff members pairing off and seeking accommodation to move in together.

The latter will also probably mean people from the area looking for homes to buy in 2-5 years, people getting promoted will also bring home sales in the foreseeable future. All in all the future is bright for Rudrapur, and India property as a whole.
