Real Estate will be much bigger in India

  • The interplay between real estate and India’s economic growth journey over the next few decades is explored in the latest report “Indian Real estate: The Quantum Leap” by Colliers in collaboration with the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) released recently.
  • These long-term growth ingredients will be pivotal in the expansion of Indian real estate – from under a trillion currently, to potentially a USD 10 trillion market by 2047, accounting for a 14-20% share in the country’s GDP.
I agree to the report on the point about how real estate is needs to bigger if ever India wants to be a developed nation. You can see any developed nation and you'll find that almost all of these countries have 15 to 20% share of real estate in their respective GDPs.
Unfortunately, India currently don't have even a 10% share of real estate in its economy. It'll be interesting to see how India will make a Quantum leap in this field.
So, what do you think guys, can India be a developed nation without the boom in real estate?
Real estate wouldn't be such a large sector if we had honest money. It's a primary store of value, in addition to its actual use value.

I really have no idea. I'm thinking about it more from the personal finance side. Mortgage payments are usually somewhere between 25-50% of a household budget.

Real estate in the city, or the close suburbs. Or you can try buying land you believe they will build major roads on, I know many people made a killing when the government bought the land from them.
