If somebody asked me to describe our 7th RE/MAX Realty Rendezvous and RE/MAX Asia Pacific Convention in Bangkok in three words, I would reply saying that it was Motivating, Educative & Fun.

Realty Byte Trends that will reshape Indian realty Five trends that will influence the Indian real estate market in the long run Among the many different factors influencing the way real estate is developed, transacted and used in India, there are five big major emerging trends that are of both real-time and long-term significance: Co-working spaces With a growing start-up ecosystem across India, and the central government creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship, demand for office spaces has gone up in the last few years. Also, due to the rising number of freelance professionals and consultants in today’s globalised workforce, office communities or co-working spaces are fast gaining in popularity. Co-working spaces are popping up across Indian metros as well as tier-II cities, and are helping many start-ups get flexible working options at prices they can afford. These spaces offer desks at cheaper rentals, with some also allowing a rent-free period apart from utilities and an office-like look-and-feel to potential start-ups. Some of the co-working places also work as incubation centres for the urban centres they are based out of. Interestingly, the trend of start-ups that buy/ lease real estate in order to sub-lease it to such tenants is also on the rise. At a rough estimate, over a 100 of such players are already active across India. This trend is slowly and surely catching up in India. Crowd funded realty projects Crowd funding helps innovators and inventors raise money for launching their products or services through the internet. The practice involves raising small amounts of money online, from many people across the globe. While other industries have seen the emergence of a more dynamic crowd funding scene, real estate still has a lot of catching up to do. Some experts have pointed at the maturing crowd-funding scenario in the USA, where the amount of money raised, the size of deals, and the speed at which they occur have all steadily increased. In China, the real estate industry is no longer the exclusive preserve of big investors, with property developers turning to crowd funding to help finance the construction of commercial and residential projects. Although in its nascent stages in India, crowd funding can pick up here as well because the financials of many developers are getting stretched. With increased digitalization and transparency, investors can be expected to open up to this novel way if they can get good returns. Already, non-resident Indians are allowed to invest in the country’s real estate under the same conditions applicable to residents. Moreover, a marketplace is already bringing together real estate investors as also listing premium plots, apartments and villas. This sector is likely to evolve and grow in the coming years.
