Nowadays the middle-income home buyers are moving towards the luxury apartments due to their higher disposable income and also due to income tax benefits of having more than one house. The trend is modest in Chennai.
Chennai growth is mainly due to rapid growth of the IT and service industries that is the reason Chennai is seeing preferences for luxury and spacious apartments.
Guys Chennai is fast turning into a cosmopolitan city. The home buyers are demanding premium residential options. Specifically, in 2013, there is huge demand seen for 3BHK configuration ranging anywhere above Rs 60 lakh.
I believe that the Chennai buyers who could not afford the house they wanted, are now moving out and are showing their interest towards the luxury and spacious properties.
Hey Uday, the city has seen facing about 16 per cent demand for properties in the price bracket of Rs 60 lakh – 1 crore, and about 12 per cent demand for the properties over Rs 1 crore.
Also NRI’s investments are confined to high-end 2BHK apartments because their investments are aimed to provide shelter to their parents or for the sake of owning a house.
