With the economic recovery picking up pace and attractive home prices, analysts say it is a good time for investors to put in money in stocks of real estate companies. Those who have spare funds and are looking to invest, buying a residential property now can is also be a good option from a long-term perspective. However, the return expectation of investors from these two asset classes should be realistic, especially from the stock market perspective, given the sharp run up in these counters since their March 2020 low. Over the past two years, residential real estate has been primarily driven by end-users. According to ANAROCK Property Consultants, investors accounted for just about 20 per cent of the overall buying activity. Over the years, implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act implemented in 2016 combined with other shocks such as demonetisation, the introduction of GST and now Covid-19, has led to a consolidation in this sector.
