Putting it Together

The numbers of luxury real estate in India are expected to continue to grow at a fast pace. While there was a drop in demand post demonetization for mid-segment houses, the demand for luxury houses did not fall as precipitously.

The demand for luxury property India will also increase since NRI’s now have greater faith in the India growth story and the number of rich is growing every day in India. The growth of property sites in India that serve NRI’s is a testament to the rising demand for luxury property in India from NRI’s. Middle-income real estate in India has and will continue to be in great demand.
