During the Covid-19 era, many people with high value (HNIs) in straight Mumbai bought buildings in Lonavla, Alibaug and nearby Karjat.
“Today, there are high-end buyers in the market who are looking for bungalows and plots,” said Ritesh Mehta, chief, Residential Property Sales, JLL.
“Buyers in Mumbai homes want second homes for Rs 2 crore to Rs 50 crore which is just 90 minutes by car from the big city. The idea is to reach Mumbai as soon as there is an emergency,” he said. .
The challenge these days is that there are limited international parcels in the second home sector that move prices up to places like Alibaug and Lonavla, he said.
A study by Savills India has also shown that as the COVID-19 epidemic appears to have led to a number of real estate redundancies and widespread acceptance of work from anywhere, the demand for second homes has increased. Seventy percent of respondents want to invest in a second home that sells for Rs 2 crore or less in two years, says a study by Savills India, a company that negotiates real estate among potential buyers.
About three-quarters of potential buyers would prefer a second home in areas such as Dehradun, Nainital, Shimla, Goa, Alibaug, Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Coorg, Ooty and Wayanad, the study said.
29% of respondents would like to invest in four popular residential areas of Maharashtra and 65 percent of the demand is less than R2 million. Total production of Maharashtra buildings was between 4-6 percent, the study said.
