Real Estate Upsurging Trends in 2013

The prospects of revolutionary Real Estate trends in 2013 are undoubtedly promising. By keeping aside the conventional path and adopting new trends and issues, the real estate market will see a skyrocketing growth in itself. Owing to a recuperating and distressed economy worldwide the prediction may sound too hard to believe, but excerpts are formidably accounting for a momentum shift in all property types. Though the clouds of uncertainty regarding the economic slowdown still hover on this business, staying positive and laying the best foot forward can help in gaining plenty of profits and enhanced scope. The business is largely capital intensive and hence an economic boost is the need of the hour.
However the following key trends will be firmly exhibited in the sector, for good or for the worse, implying a noticeable turnaround in the industry.


  1. Increase in home prices as well as rise in housing rents-
The expected increase in the home prices is because of the slow pace in their construction. This has resulted in a shortfall of available homes. Thus a steep rise in the prices is imminent. Furthermore, the number of people moving out and looking for their own apartments has dramatically increased consequently leading to an increase in the rents.
A remarkable hike in the prices of building materials is also a reason behind the inflation seen in the industry.

  1. Watch out for the first timers-
It is more likely that amidst the growth in demand for single family houses it will be the first time buyers dominating. This trend has been in practice since the last couple of years and is expected to continue in the very same manner.


  1. Need of Property Managers-
The requirement of property manager will see a considerable increase owing to the fact that many distressed and foreclosed properties will be snapped. A professional property manager will be helpful for an investor for renting and maintaining the purchases.


  1. Rise in mortgage interest rates-
The mortgage interest rates have been at a minimal low since years and an increment is definitely expected. But, rest assured the rise will not be a pronounced one.


  1. Urging for compactness-
Gone are the days when businesses used to demand for big commercial complexes. The trend has shifted to compactness, i.e. smaller places are much more preferred. It’s easier to maintain and the rents and operating expenses are drastically reduced.


  1. Going Suburban-
Though its’ difficult to move businesses into the suburb’s, the necessity demands for one. With more and more young people thriving for a suburban life, it won’t be a bad idea for the real estate builders to explore such avenues. But one must keep in mind about the selective business which could survive the suburban nodes. With such businesses one can witness urbanization in those areas. Furthermore, this suburban concept has led to a quick spur in multifamily projects. Adopting the suburbs will be a trend to look out for in the real estate business in the year 2013.

Real Estate Financial Facts in Jaipur



Investment in Tier II cities of India, like Jaipur, is a more profitable proposition and is growing at a breakneck pace.

Overall, the long-term returns say that for around 10 years or so, real estate has compounded almost 15-16% annually. These types of returns are difficult to find in any other asset class.

At present the interest rates have begun to soften, which will improve the ability of buyers to make house purchases. But it can push property prices from the current level, which is already considered high. Therefore, if you want to buy a house for personal or investment purpose, experts say it is not advisable to wait for prices to correct. It will be better to go for a long-term investment if you want to invest in real estate in Jaipur.


Rents in Jaipur rose sharply in the past two years. If you take into account the rental income, the investment income realized by you to purchase the home is much less. For example, if you buy a house for Rs 1 crore, your EMI at the current rate of interest- around 10% over the repayment period of 20 years, will be Rs 96,502. Of this amount, Rs 83,333 will be adjusted against the interest of the capital for the first month and the remaining Rs 13,169 will be used to offset the principal amount. So for the next month, the capital will be reduced to Rs 99,86,831 against Rs 1 crore at the starting of the loan. Therefore, the interest for the next month will be reduced to Rs 83,224. And, therefore, only Rs 83,224 will be used from EMI to pay interest and rest Rs 13,279 will be adjusted on the principal.

In this way, the interest expense will continue to reduce, allowing much EMI to be charged on the principal amount. At the end of the fifth year, you pay only around Rs 10 lakh directly. But it will lower your payment from your interest in the EMI to Rs 75,014 against Rs 83,333 at the beginning of the repayment period. This will help increase the return of capital to Rs 21,488 by the end of the fifth year.

Flats in Jaipur


Annual rent of an apartment in Jaipur increased to about 3% of the value of the capital, against 2.5% of the capital value a couple of years ago. This means that a flat worth Rs 1 crore fetches around Rs 25,000 per month or Rs 3 lakh per year in rentals. This will reduce your interest costs substantially. In the first year, 10% of your interest charge on a loan of Rs 1 crore amounts to Rs 9,92,552. If you set the rental income, the net outflow of interest payments will only be Rs 6,92,552. This will reduce the effective interest rate to 6.92%

Rentals normally grow 10% per year, but even if you take an escalation of 5% per annum, the interest expense will continue to decline.

At the end of 14 years, rents will be more than the interest share of your EMI. At the end of the 14th year, the interest share of your annual EMI of Rs 11,58,024 will be Rs 5,54,115. And against this your annual rental for the present year will be Rs 5,65,690.

Villas in Jaipur
Not only that, if you buy a ready-to-move-in home, in the first year itself, the effectiveness of EMI on a home worth Rs 1 crore will come down to Rs 71,500 from Rs 96,502. By the fifth year it will become more affordable to Rs 66,114, which will further reduce to Rs 55,780 by the end of the 10th year. At the end of the 15th year the same will be reduced to Rs 47,000 only. Therefore, the actual cost of your investment will be significantly reduced during the period of the loan itself.

If property prices increased by 10% compounded annually, which is very conservative as the property rates have an appreciation of the order of 17-25% per annum compounded annually for the last 20 years in Jaipur, the value of your investment will be about Rs 6.75 crore.

If you calculate your return from the rental income in the account, it will be in the range of 15 to 16 percent, compounded annually.

If you want to invest in a house under construction, the return will be much better. However, you will not get any rental income in the early years, but the cost of house under construction is usually less than a completed one.

But, if you are investing in a house under construction, you must take care of some things like the history of the builder or property owner. Timely delivery is very important to keep your finances in good condition as the burden of maintenance after the completion of the house will be lower if the builder provides quality products. As well as, you should take care of the connectivity of the project. Better connectivity to a project will always give you a better price and yields better quality.

How to become a successful real estate investor


Real Estate Investment
Real Estate business may be a lucrative and rewarding avenue to explore if one has enough caliber to work with zeal and complete dedication. But to have zeal without knowledge and experience can prove deadly. And experience cannot be learnt somewhere, it would come to you with time and patience. And that would mark your success. Yes, the basic formula to achieve success in the real estate business is to spend time, time where you learn from your mistakes and not shed tears of lamentation. Besides time, the following must also be highlighted:

Communication Skills:
Having good social skills in communicating can do wonders to your chances of compelling the end party. A key to a successful real estate investor is his charm while he faces anyone. This is his job to come across a lot of people and he must be calm and composite. Keeping the right amount of cool can add weight to his credentials. A bit of negotiations can further help him in getting discounts.
This communications can aid him in expanding his network which can come handy in future. 
 
Confidence:
While dealing for a property, you must have the confidence to convince others. Excellence can be achieved in this business if you have persuasion skills, keeping in mind that it does not lead to the harassment of the client. 
 
Dealing with finances:
A continuous flow of money doesn’t mark the success of the business. What matters is how well you make the most out of it. You got to be business savvy and must apply wise management when it comes to finances. Explore the options- either further enhancing a property or buying a new one.

Use your sense to cut the losses:
Sometimes waiting for a better offer may be counterproductive. But instead of losing hope start afresh with a new investment. Remember, it is the mistake you commit which will make you a successful real estate investor. 
 
Ability to understand the changing trends:
Like any other business, investing in real estate requires sense to understand the changes in trends and acting upon them. For example, look at cities like Jaipur. In the 90s, there was nothing in the outskirts of Jaipur. The value of real estate in those areas was nothing. But with the passage of time, there have been many township projects completed and some are on the verge of completion. Many multinational companies and educational institution are also established there. The property rates in Jaipur have reached sky rocketing prices in those areas.
A Real Estate investment requires a good business mind; therefore, a smart businessman must avoid making a bad or illegal deal. Reading the contract paper before signing and consulting a lawyer can further minimise chances of falling into a fallacy.
