Investing in Real Estate
The growth of Real Estate is driven by many factors. The 3 key segments of the Real Estate industry are Housing, Commercial and Retail. Demand for housing has grown on population growth and demographic changes. Factors include an increase in nuclear families, lower average number of members per household and an overall increase in population along with increases in national income and standard of living. The number of working women has increased from 9.74% in 1991 to 11.55% in 2001 for urban areas and 27.20% in 1991 to 30.98% in 2001, leading to an increase in average household incomes, causing greater intensity in housing demand.
