3 Reasons That Make Real Estate The Safest Wager

If you have only Rs 2 lakh and you want to use it to reap future benefits, you have many options. Even with a much less amount, you can do this by investing in stocks, mutual funds, gold, etc. But, most of us wait for our saving amount to reach a point where the sum would enable us to invest in property, even if we have to fund the transaction with a bank loan. While there can be many behavioural and psychological explanations for it, the monetary benefits one reaps as a property owner are quite significant, too.
There are many reasons that make investing in property the safest bet, even now.

Shock proof
In the past couple of years, reports have filled the news space declaring a state of emergency in the real estate sector. Home buyers, they claim, are waiting for prices to fall to make investments. However, data show property prices in major cities have not fallen down owing to an “emergency” situation.

You are not the only one who thinks of buying a houses as soon as you can arrange the money. Any average India is thinking the same. In case you decide to move on and sell the house, the only way prices are only going to move is upwards and there will be many willing to buy your property.

But the beauty of it lies in the fact that, you will earn better money on your investment with many takers vying for your property.
 
Happy at home
On an average, a home owner is a happier person than a renter. Despite the fact that the he may be under huge debt, a home owner is more likely to be emotionally stable than those who have to shift places every year or so. While it is hard to explain the direct monetary befits of this, you sure save yourself a lot of stress caused by changing abodes and in the absence of a permanent address.
