The real estate sector in India was not as organized as it is now in earlier times. In recent times it has been classified as an industry. The
Real Estate Industry in India is now witnessing phenomenal investments mainly due to the fact that when compared to other investments in gold, fixed deposits etc, real estate investment offers the highest return on investment within a short period of time.
The real estate industry consists of property developers, builders, real estate consultants and other infrastructure developers. The prominent property developers in India after starting off with minor projects worth a few million rupees are now foraying into real estate projects worth several billions of rupees. The leading builders mostly concentrate upon building high-rise residential apartments.
The real estate consultants are much sought after by both buyers and sellers to speed up the property transaction at competitive prices. Searching for affordable real estate properties in key residential and commercial localities is not at all an easy task. Only the leading real estate consultant in the particular locality may be conversant with the real estate trends and also the properties being put up for sale.
According to government estimates, the real estate industry in India has attracted investments worth more than 3 billion dollars. Economists estimate that it is likely to increase by more than 10 fold within a short span of time. In the year 2008 the land prices in some key localities of the metros and the emerging metros of Hyderabad and Bangalore has already doubled.
