In today’s highly informed, hyper-cynical, investment-crazy world, we are constantly on the lookout to safeguard ourselves. We are taught from a young age to save- it starts with our piggy bank, soon taking the shape of an app; the jingle of our coins quickly turning into the pinging of notifications. So, as we go from that tangible saving, we can touch, to numbers on a screen locked away behind ministerial procedures, it’s important we adapt to investment opportunities that may not have been considered, previously.

So, which is the better investment, real estate or stock market? The answer is both. Each has its benefits, and each has its drawbacks, and what informs your exact allocation towards either is you- your short and long-term goals, your financial situation, and the fundamental anchor of it all- your risk tolerance. It would be crude to state that any investment is devoid of emotion because each number correlates to your hard work, and this in turn is a key part of your attitude toward risk.

For people looking for greater liquidity on their investment, possibly unable to tie their funds into the long game, the stock market makes for a very enticing route. Markets see extreme corrections and growth year on year, something that real estate does not. Real Estate grows at 10% or 20%, whereas the stock market can see growth of 50% and upwards. So, if a potential quick buck is a deciding factor, stocks can be the more lucrative option, but beware of the pains of market volatility especially in the short term!

It’s often regarded by seasoned investors to take careful risks; oxymoron indeed. No investment is without its risk, but none is as volatile as the stock market. There’s a bleak saying that comes to mind- the higher you climb, the harder you fall. That’s not to deter from investing in exciting stocks, but to consider the substantial risks involved. It is widely thought that the best mitigant to risk is diversification and that is where an allocation to real estate can come into play.

Now consider Real Estate Investments, a tangible asset, and as we are often told, land appreciates over time. Over the past decade, property investment in Mumbai was on an incline, visible in the influx of high-rise structures peppering the skyline. An unfortunate reality is that a number of projects in Mumbai also faced regulatory changes and delays, and in some cases stalled entirely. In such cases, investors in those projects were strapped and liquidity became a significant issue, however, the tangibility of the property as a piece of land still retains a value, which is not always the case with stocks. One of the greater risks associated with investing in real estate is the large investment for a longer timeline, which leaves your investment tied up. That said, much like the stock market, provided everything goes well, investing in property allows you to utilise your investment to supplement your existing income.

By now, most of us have acclimatized ourselves fully to a new way of living, which includes working from home and exercising at home instead of stepping out for the gym or office. With that in perspective, how have things shaped up in home-buying after the pandemic? Indeed, the home buying process is not immune to the changes brought in by the pandemic. It is set to transform how buyers search and purchase their homes in the future, be it for residence or investment.

If you are thinking of making this important purchase post-pandemic, here are some tips that will help you in the process:

Decide if You’re Ready Don’t make the pandemic and the possibility of getting a good bargain the sole reason for buying a home now. There are a lot of other, more important, factors to consider, such as your financial standing, career goals, and location. These factors will determine the type of home you buy, where you buy, and whether you are ready to take the leap from renting to paying regular EMIs for the long haul. There are a number of 2 bhk flats in Thane, which are easy on the pocket and offer the indubitable luxury of owning a fine home in a great location.

Check Your Credit-Worthiness Make an honest appraisal of your credit score as this will determine the amount of EMI you can realistically pay to own your home of dreams. It will determine what loans and interest rates you qualify for, and who knows, you may qualify for more than you thought. That said, don’t go out of your budget and make a rash decision that you may repent later on.

Consider the Location Thanks to the extensive acceptance of work-from-home culture, many young families and working professionals are actively considering relocating to their hometowns. In the face of the uncertainties brought on by pay cuts and layoffs, reverse migration saves the money spent on the high cost of living in metropolitan cities as well as gives the emotional comfort of living with family. Indeed, this shift seems like a wise decision, both in terms of economic and physical wellness.

Integrated Townships are a Good Choice Integrated townships are spread over large tracts of land, providing a better quality of living to their residents. It also offers an array of housing options to suit different needs. These townships are either close to all the daily conveniences, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, post office, petrol pumps, etc., or have the same within their premises. A report by Ernst & Young stated that post-COVID-19, self-sustainable integrated townships could become the preferred choice of prospective homebuyers. Indeed, with work-from-home culture, outside air pollution, and social distancing becoming the norm, it is not hard to guess why.

Equity Toward the Future While job uncertainties and pay cuts certainly make home-buying an intimidating financial decision, your home may not only return your investment but net you a profit in the long run.

The first quarter of 2023 has been an interesting one for real estate, pan-India. For the first time since the Pandemic years, the industry has seen an increase in the year-on-year growth of 50% in residential real estate. Recent studies conducted on the housing sales rise presented that property in Mumbai and Pune contributed to approximately 50% of the overall nationwide sales of residential real estate in 2022. So why may that be so? We’re looking into the various factors that have contributed to the housing sales rise for this first quarter of 2023.

To evaluate the various reasons, it would be insincere to paint all the sales with the same brush, so we must first categorise the sales into various sub-segments of residential real estate, based on the price brackets and the subsequent influential factors.

Under 1 CR:

Affordable housing has not fared as successfully as mid and high-end units, for reasons we will address, however, that is not to say affordable housing was left untouched. News about a 1% increase in Stamp Duty that would come into effect from the start of the next financial year (i.e. from the 1st of April), swayed a lot of fence sitters. Not to say that an increase in cost does not affect everybody, but for those buying a 1 crore home, an increase of Stamp Duty from 6 to 7 lakhs, or 7 to 8 lakhs, can be an unforeseen impact on their budgeting.

Between 1 and 3 CR:

The Mid-Range housing has always been the sweet spot for most homeowners, here they are able to access the likes of a spacious 3BHK in Malad constructed by a renowned developer in Mumbai making the purchase of this particular property in question a far more lucrative business decision than purely a personal milestone to be achieved. In addition to the comfortable price point, within the 1 to 3 crore range, depending on the neighbourhood, one is able to afford a luxurious 2 BHK in Mumbai which has fast become one of the most sought-after configurations of homes in the city and the reason is obvious. The Pandemic years taught us the value of a home, and the value of our space. Today’s buyers are looking at homes through the possible lens of it doubling as a workspace, or a rent-yielding asset, or even the very real consideration of it being their safety. Having lived through the uncertainty of steady salaries, layoffs, and other financial and personal hurdles a large number of people found solace in that they knew they had a roof over their heads, and the privilege that they felt in having safety as basic as that, was not lost on them. Those young couples confined to their 1BHKs during Lockdown see the value and strength the space of a second bedroom can afford them and their relationship. The family that watched their child sit in their bedroom and attend virtual school for hours on end recognised the importance of a study so that there is a distinction between school/work and being at home.

How often have you passed by a piece of advertising for a project or property that is ludicrous? Not because of how unaffordable it is, but quite the opposite. Hoardings across the city today advertise down payments that cost less than the average couch, fully furnished flats that can supposedly be purchased at the drop of a hat, and endless views that would cost a pretty penny all at your doorstep.

This is a stepping stone to the ‘dark side of marketing’ (a real thing!), where you haven’t been fully manipulated yet, you aren’t technically being lied to, and you convince yourself against all prevailing experience that this is an achievable promise. It isn’t.

If today you were verbally told that you could secure a home for less than 30 lakhs, you would not be convinced, because it is human nature to believe that if something is ‘too good to be true’ it’s because it usually is. However, take that same information, aesthetically designed, splashed on a hoarding, and protected by endless asterisks- your brain starts to play tricks on you- suddenly it becomes a lot more believable.

So let’s look at the inherent safety tips, not the ‘home buying tips’ but those which can protect you, your family, and your hard-earned money. The safety tips for first (and seasoned) home buyers.

Choosing The Right Developer:- There is no shortage of developers in the city which can be both a boon and a curse. A highly sought-after business, anybody with a plot of land and who want to cash in on it is capable of developing their piece of land. So with such a selection of developers available to you, why should that be a problem? Because it is easy to fall into business with a one-time developer (somebody looking to develop just their single plot of land) who may not be as well-versed or experienced in the industry. Choosing renowned developers in Mumbai can be beneficial for first-time buyers as they always instil a lot more faith in the client as they can be certain their money is being invested with a veteran from the industry.

As a first time buyer, dipping your toe in the real estate pool, it is always a better option to play it safer with a known developer with a delivery track record than take a risk.

Understand The Jargon:- It’s a fair assumption to make that the average person is not going to understand the nuanced jargon associated with an industry they are not involved in. If the first time buyer in question is unclear on the details of terminology, it is very easy to take terms at face value. For example, if a client is in the market for a 2BHK flat in Dahisar East, they would rightly be aware of the areas advertised in the locality. If the flat is advertised as approximately 700sq.ft. first time buyers can sometimes overlook a very telling clarification; is that 700sq.ft. of usable carpet area? How much of that 700sq.ft. is occupied by internal walls?

At the risk of reminding you of a trying time, a period of our new decade that we would much rather forget, it would be impossible to look at the design trends of 2023 without looking back at what we’ve come out of- 2 years of lockdowns and uncertainty.

With the advent of Work from Home culture that was enforced across the globe, we found a way to fulfil our professional duties from the confines of our four walls, and nobody was exempt. So as we lean towards understanding the greater values our homes have offered us, we have also begun adapting our mindset to creating more efficiency in our interior styling and design.

So let’s look at some of the key trends proposed by experts for 2023.

Minimalism Is Taking A Break: Not entirely of course, minimalism serves a great purpose in offering a neutral canvas to keep adapting and adjusting at a lower cost, and minimalism will never truly be outdated but some aspects of minimalist interior design definitely will.

Stark whites, greys, and greige (Grey-beige) overwhelmed the home spaces as we shifted away from cluttered, colourful spaces in the late teens. The clean aesthetic was a breath of fresh air, but somewhere it became too sterile. It served the purpose of providing a calming home to return to from the busy outside world, but as we started spending more time within our homes, it became too sparse for us to keep that way.

If we consider a compact 2BHK in Dahisar or even a luxurious 3 BHK in Malad, off whites will always be a part of our homes, it’s the most palatable colour for your walls, for its brightening but comfortable effect, but we’re seeing a lot of people opt for more character to be injected into their homes as they foresee the possibility of spending longer hours there.

We see a lot of people opting for a warmer whites, and earthier colour palettes for their homes, like a taupe accent wall, green furnishings, or even hints of reds and deep pinks as they are an easy way to incorporate colour into the home, without interrupting the space and confining it.

Natural Or Sustainable Materials: This may seem a little vague but allow us to explain. There is a resurgence in paper and fabric lighting, because of the warm ambient mood it offers a space in the evening time, allowing us to transition a little more intentionally to our down time. Coffee tables, desks, side tables and shelves made of wood that blend seamlessly into any space while still offering the option to be a statement piece. We’re also more focused on our work spaces being studier and longer lasting given how much we’ve had to use them! Injections of texture around the house with rugs and show pieces, to give us more of a tactile experience within our own space. When designing a luxurious 2BHK in Goregaon we recognised ample opportunity to layer the home with texture and character to break away from the cold, disconnected minimalism of the past few years, and a lot of that comes from natural materials that automatically make

Dahisar East is fast becoming one of the most popular area for development and home buying owing to its infrastructure, prices, project options, and connectivity. In fact, the neighbourhood is currently a crowd favourite for first time home owners who are opting for 2 BHK flats in Dahisar East as the projects are generally affordable, and the amenities substantial.

So if you’re looking for a home in Dahisar, what should you be doing so that you can get the biggest bang for your buck?

Budget, of Course! Given the number of projects in Dahisar East narrowing in on one that makes sense for you can be a mammoth task. The best way to tackle it is to have a budget that lets you focus on the bracket of projects you are looking at. Subsequently, you can list out your requirements and see which best suits your needs based on a process of elimination.

Conducting Your Own Research: We’ve all been in that position where the person showing us a property is all praise. Whether they’re speaking of tiles on the floors, or plaster on the walls, those who wish to sell a space are spectacularly good at it. But that is at the end of the day, their job.

That is why it is imperative for you to do your own research.

Take some time to speak to people in the area and channel partners, as well as reading up on websites about the property options in your chosen location.

One of the key aspects that many home buyers focus on once they begin their research is the track record of the developers in Dahisar. It’s no secret that Mumbai is overrun by developers with far too many projects left incomplete. Investing your money with a trustworthy developer with a healthy track record is one of the safest ways to getting your dream home.

Studying the Unit. Consider this to be a quality check. Remember how a couple of decades ago, people generally avoided living on the top most floor of a building? Why? Because most buildings had a leakage problem in the monsoons. Now we aren’t saying that buildings today have a waterproofing issue, what we are saying is that you want to be aware of what the problems may be that you might have, before you have to face them! You want to know that the quality of finishes you are paying for are true to the assurance. You want to be certain that you are not being short changed in any way.

This is one of the reasons most renowned developers in Mumbai offer bare-shell flats, it is more cost effective and beneficial to the client as they are able to do a quality check on the entire unit before they make any commitments.

There is a popular saying that goes, “Home is where the heart is.” And for the heart to be at peace, the home has to be an expression of oneself. During the pandemic, most of our outdoor activities have found a replacement within our homes. So, if you miss going to your yoga class to unwind yourself from all the stress, you need not worry. Here are some simple DIY tips that can guide you to build a yoga studio right at home.

1. De-Clutter Around The House This is your chance to pull a full Marie Kondo. De-clutter a room, going through one category after another. Keep only the essentials and discard everything that doesn’t serve any specific needs or purposes in your life. The room will become a blank canvas for you to decorate. This will give your house enough space to build a yoga studio where you can unwind freely without any stress. With Yoga, it is best to stay minimal with the room decorations as it requires a calm ambience.

2. Calm Colours Muted and cool tones of different colours like white, beige, sky blue etc, give the room a tranquil presence which is important to the spirit of yoga. They recede rather than standing out aggressively. Be sure to non-toxic paints. Yoga is a practice that ensures both our physical and emotional well-being. By purchasing eco-friendly products, like non-toxic paint, you can protect both your health and implement sustainability in your life.

3. Set The Mood With Lighting Lighting in a house sets up the whole mood and in many ways influences our mood as well. Many of the new residential projects in Dahisar at the WEH are next to the national park and are full of natural light and fresh air. A house that gets enough sunlight and air is a healthy one. But for your personal yoga space select a dim, calming light that hangs over-head, giving the room a nice halo. This way you can practice yoga in tranquillity.

4. Accessorize With Intention To make the space more personalized and comfortable you can add various objects to the room to enhance it. Keep a small shelf or table in the room and place a scented candle, an aromatic spray, some healing crystals, or whatever you feel is calming and makes you flow easily.

5. Hunt For Treasures Visit the local markets, thrift shops, or antique stores near you and look out for unique objects that will make great additions to your house. Try searching objects such as antique trunks, shelves, tables, or your yoga mats, props, and blankets. If you search you might come across some interesting stuff like beautiful vintage sculptures and wall art that will give your house the spiritual ambience that you desire.

6. Outfit Your Studio With The Essentials To practice yoga at home, the first object that you will need is a yoga mat. Other than that several other props can be of assistance when you practice. You can use yoga blocks that will act as an extension of your arm to lengthen your reach when you are working on flexibility.

Did you know that the ‘hearth of the home’ historically was the place where the family congregated as it was the main source of heat and therefore where the residents kept themselves warm, as well as where the cooking was done. It is no coincidence that the main area of congregation in the home is also compared to the ‘heart of the home’ (do you see the similarity?), but what, in your opinion would constitute the soul of the home?

We’ll tell you what we think. The soul is the kitchen. Food, love, nourishment, comfort, these things present a synergy that can only be tied into a neat little bow when in reference to the kitchen. Spending time with family, cooking up a storm, messing around with the flavours, replicating a recipe passed down through generations, these activities bring us closer to our loved ones, and that warmth of friendship and admiration permeates every part of the house, emanating from the kitchen. The soul of the home.

When so much happens in the kitchen, it only makes sense that we should put extra care and attention into the room, and a great place to start is the organisation of the kitchen. So, we’re sharing some of our key organisation steps to keep the energy up, the space efficient and the memories happy.

Keep Counters Clear: If you’ve ever seen any images of luxurious apartments in Mumbai they’re overrun by minimalism, the dominant trend of the recent past. And while we may not always agree that minimalism is the way forward, we cannot deny the style one exceptional quality- it reduces clutter. Clutter can be overwhelming, when items are out of place, or carelessly strewn around, because whether we outwardly adopt the lifestyle or not, we do inherently appreciate and require method to the madness. Oftentimes, the messiest clutter is the kitchen, and it can make the space a very unwelcome room to enter. Keep the countertops clear and you’ll find it a much more inviting space, being able to keep it tidy and clean (and subsequently free of all unwelcome pests) will allow you and your loved ones to utilise and enjoy the kitchen with a lot more freedom as you all can contribute to the cooking of the meal without scrambling for space previously taken up by… things!

Utilise Vertical Space: If you’ve read our previous blogs, you’ve seen us mention the vertical space before and its efficiency when decorating a home. One of the most underutilised areas of any cabinet is the height of it. In a world that is coming off the ‘minimalist décor’ trend, we are returning to the idea of stacking products with a better understanding of how to make this necessity more efficient. Gone are the days of cramming into a cabinet and forgetting the products right at the back.

A little bit of greenery always breathes life into a house. Whether it’s a view overlooking a canopy of trees or a corner of the living room adorned with a plant, as beings of nature we eventually gravitate towards leafy greens to bring into our homes. Plants serve a multitude of benefits to us and our spaces. In a country as heavily polluted as ours, plants can help purify the air we breathe. In cities as hot as ours, plants can offer some much needed respite from the heat and diffuse the harsh sunlight that comes beating down into our homes. In a life as rushed as ours, plants unbeknownst to us, actually helps reduce our stress! There’s no limit to the number of reasons we need greenery to brighten up our homes but as we look at the plethora of options in front of us, let’s review the selection that makes sense for Indian homes and why.

Ask any top developer in Mumbai and they’ll be have elaborate plans for incorporating green cover into their projects because of the importance in having nature in close proximity to their clients. Whether that’s a green wall scaling the sides of the buildings or podiums, tree lined amenities to make the features of the projects more usable, or simply including plants in their sales offices, they understand the value it brings to their clients. But let’s focus on you and 3 particular locations we’ve selected for the purposes of this blog, so that if you live in a similarly situated area, you know how to navigate these waters.

Key suburban areas in Mumbai like Malad, Goregaon, and Jogeshwari benefit ever so slightly by being in close proximity to Aarey Forest which means that the air is being purified by the very lung of Mumbai. However, in a lot of instances this isn’t enough- so bringing in plants that purify the air within our four walls is almost crucial to a happy, healthy home. We’re sharing with you three great plants to decorate your house with, that are easy to manage in the Indian climate.

Areca Palms If you consider a 2BHK in Goregaon, there is often ample space to dedicate to a leafier plant without the fear of it coming in the way. In fact, leafier plants like palms tend to lend a beautiful comfort to the space when placed close to a window to diffuse harsh sunlight, thereby making the room usable even during the hotter times of the day.

Areca Palms are low maintenance plants, that are particularly good at purifying the air of toxins such as chemicals and CO found in paints and fuels, and for up-and-coming commercials hubs like Goregaon, Malad and Jogeshwari, these can be an incredibly helpful inclusion of greenery to your home.

Snake Plant One of the less common plants found in households is the Snake Plant, which is in fact, one of the most low maintenance plants around! The straight, long leaves of the plant are unobstructive, lend a beautiful splash of green and yellow to a room and adapt effortlessly into any space.

The Dynamix Group, renowned for its well-designed and thoughtful residential and commercial properties in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region has accomplished sales worth INR 750 crs across its various projects in FY2021-22. For the quarter ending June 2022, it achieved sales worth INR 205 crs across its six ongoing projects. Dynamix is currently developing 3 ongoing projects in Mumbai, 2 in the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region and 1 large township development in Goa.

It hopes to be able to launch another 3 projects this fiscal year, adding a further 1 million sqft to its portfolio across these geographies. The group has set itself an ambitious sales target across its portfolio of projects this financial year, which it hopes to achieve through a combination of continued sales momentum in its ongoing projects, along with further project launches.

– The Real-Estate developer aims to launch over 1.0 mn sq. ft of projects in FY2022-23, in addition to its ongoing works of ~3.2 million sq. ft in Mumbai, Thane and Goa ~

– The group has already delivered over 30 million sq. ft to its customers over 5 decades in business~

– The group has achieved sales worth INR 750 crs for the financial year 2021-22 ~

FY2022-23, Speaking on the developments, Jay Goenka, Director, Dynamix Group said “We are very pleased with our sales growth in FY 21-22 and remain encouraged by sales performance for the fiscal year so far, which will only be bolstered by planned upcoming project launches. We believe that our keen focus on building spaces that deliver functionality, convenience, and quality lifestyles will stand us in good stead in achieving our ambitious sales targets and growth. These planned launches continue to be the realization of our strategy to grow through the development of high quality, yet affordable homes across Mumbai and the MMR.”

The developer last week marked the completion of the reinforced concrete structure of Tower A of its Avanya project, in Dahisar, within a mere 16 months from its launch, despite the onset of the deadly second wave of the covid-19 induced pandemic in the months of April-June 2021. What makes this achievement notable is the fact that the 120 meter (390 feet) tall tower comprises 2 basements and 37 upper floors and is one of the tallest towers in the vicinity. At peak speed, the developer built 4 floors a month, as against the industry standard 2-3 per month. Dynamix hopes to deliver this project, as well as its other ongoing ones, before time.

The Dynamix Group is renowned for its thoughtful and well-designed residential and commercial developments in Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The Group’s residential developments of Gokuldham and Yashodham in Goregaon East alleviated the acute shortage of affordable housing faced by the middle- and lower-income groups in the suburban areas of Mumbai. This served as a springboard for further projects in the suburbs, in areas such as Vasant Vihar in Thane West, Shristi in Mira Road,

It’s no secret that in a city overrun with concrete structures and an ever growing population, the average home buyer in Mumbai finds themselves at a disadvantage, living in a compact space surrounded by ominous towers of stark grey. It is the unfortunate drawback of our City of Dreams. Our space is limited, our Mumbaiites aren’t- but we must live by one of the most basic principles of a functional society, that everybody deserves a roof over their head.

As a result, our homes have become smaller, our buildings have become bigger, and the price of change is our peace of mind. For a lot of people, the standard home now mirrors an almost bleak perception of the fast paced Mumbai lifestyle; one where we work in a cubicle and live in a cubicle. But what if that wasn’t the case?

We’ve seen it world over, young professionals, their seemingly large homes splashed across social media pages, but pull back the curtain and it’s not the square footage that expands their spaces, it’s the keen eye for décor. So let’s run you through some of the best tips to make your home look and feel larger than it may actually be!

Keep it Simple, Not Boring The first step to making a space look larger is your colour palette. Consider any number of luxurious flats in Mumbai and you’ll notice something similar in most if not all of them. The inherent colour scheme of the house is neutral, and the pops of colour are introduced via accent pieces.

So why does it work? Neutral colours reflect light a lot more than deeper, bold tones, creating an illusion of space. The consistency of the colours across walls and pieces of décor also let your eyes to glide across the room instead of jumping to a focal point. It allows for the space to breathe, and as a result, neutral colours are considered to have a calming effect on the viewer; and isn’t that the end goal, for us to feel calm and peaceful in our own home?

Neutrals are also easier on the purse strings. If you have a 3 BHK flat in Malad, you’ve spent a fair penny on the property and the interiors. Now what if the interiors chosen today are ‘off trend’ tomorrow? Going through the ordeal of redoing your entire 3 BHK seems like a mammoth task. Choose a neutral palette and layer colours on top of it! It’s easier to change accents, than it is to change interiors.

Bonus Tip: Try to avoid a stark white paint for your walls. Look for a warmer tone of white/off white. It’s a lot easier for our eyes to absorb a tone of off white than pure white. Also consider yellow lights instead of white lights to bring warmth into the space.

Combine Light & Statement Looking again at a number of housing projects in Mumbai, and you’ll notice a playful synergy in the décor of the common areas. Glass tables with wooden accents, for example. When we say light, we mean furniture that has a more weightless appearance, such as a chair with slim legs, or an entrance console that is raised off the ground.

We don’t need a specific day to know the value of our father. For every child, their father is their role model. Talking to him might not be easy. You might keep your mom as a mediator between you and dad.

Men don’t cry, Men should be strong, Fathers don’t share their feelings with others, Fathers should provide for the family.

All these won’t be new to you all. Their lives are molded by societal norms. They are souls having thousands of feelings buried deep inside. Working extra hours so that his child doesn’t go unhappy. Even after a busy schedule, he would still make time for you to sign your report card or to check up on your health and education. It’s just a day to appreciate your dad for his positive presence in your life. The global pandemic has made it worse to talk with parents or to always see a tense face with lots of health and financial issues.

Fathers sacrifice their likes to provide for you

Why not plan something special for them?

Here are some father’s day home decor ideas to make the day special.

Don’t Rush Just Brush! White, yellow, green… so many beautiful optimistic colours to choose from.

Colours have emotion. Colours speak a language of their own. It provides a soothing effect to the eyes and minds uplifting an individual’s emotions. Paint the house or room with him. Choose elegant and soothing colours where he feels at home. Hang in photo frames loaded with memories that he won’t miss you when you are away.

Stack Some Books When your living room has enough space but you and your dad are confused on what to keep there, whether it should be another set of a sofa or a gigantic vase. Why not a library!

When he looks at a book, it should be a reminder of how lucky you are to have him. A mini-library is what many dads crave. It would be an escape after long hours of work, and straining the eyes on the screens of the laptop. Just imagine apartments in Ghodbunder Road, Thane with large living rooms or bedrooms to stack your dad’s favourite books. Also, gift him a wonderful collection of books on each special occasion. Also, keep indoor plants to have that aura.

Mini Party On Balcony Balconies are airy and give you serenity.

Why not choose this place to celebrate father’s day.

Change the face of your balcony by using simple and elegant decors to have a beautiful evening. Set up dinner on the balcony. Apartments in Goa have calm spacious balconies to set dinner for father’s day. Plant some lawn on your balcony and decorate it with some lanterns. Make space for multi-purpose furniture like magic benches which could be folded and reshaped. Keep the balcony as simple as possible. Place a beautiful and large chair, or sofa and a wall fixed tiny table. Cook his favourite dish and have a beautiful dinner and make him feel special.

Workout Area Have a room where no one visits? And have been locked with obsolete stuff?

Why not change it into a workout area on this special occasion to remind your dad to take care of his health.

There’s long since been a belief within confines of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and the Greater MMR that the area you grow up in or spend a significant amount of time in is your stomping ground. It is the space you are most comfortable in and the area most people are reluctant to leave. Each locale in and around Mumbai entice its residents with a unique charm- the vintage, old world allure of Colaba, the artistic expression of Bandra West or Kala Ghoda, the enthusiastic young bustle of Andheri- creating friendly competition between locales. Each is an ecosystem and personality of its own. And yet, in the recent past there’s been a shift in attitude. Residents are noticing the beauty and comforts of areas they never considered, owing to one key change in the city; infrastructure.

Today there is a greater fluidity between zip codes. People relocating from the suburbs to the city, the city to the outskirts, the outskirts to the CBDs, the list goes on. One such area that has seen a greater influx of interest is Thane; a city unto itself, outside the rush and rumble of Mumbai. Read more!

It’s no secret that real estate is a popular option for investments and monetary growth as historically and even to the present day, land has allure; additionally, real estate serves as promising future security in personal capacity. However, investing in real estate comes with its own set of challenges that are worth examining.

Timing: If you are looking at investing in real estate, it’s worth keeping an eye on the market. Real Estate is a volatile market- sometimes you can expect stellar returns and other times you may be caught up in a project for years and see almost no appreciation at all (however, that is often dictated by another factor which we will get into). Understanding the best time to invest in real estate is usually when interest rates are lower and the valuations are appropriate- remember, the market tends to correct at some point. It’s worth speaking to a financial advisor or doing some research before considering the correct time to invest.

Investing In The Wrong Project: There is no dearth of housing projects in Mumbai for you to choose from, however not all projects are built the same. Yes, they all seem to have the same amenities and enticing bells and whistles that make them so appealing to buyers; but we’re talking location.

Location, accessibility, traffic these things heavily impact the return on your investment. You may be looking at luxurious flats in Mumbai, and who can blame you? But if reaching your luxurious flat is a task, if all you hear when you open the window is the rumble of traffic and incessant honking of people trying to get through, is that luxury?

The Developer: As with everything in real estate, the developer in question plays a significant role. Seasoned developers know the pitfalls of promising too much, they understand the value they add, they know how to get the job done. Certain developers who fall prey to committing too much are at risk of having their projects take longer to complete, or stall at inconveniences that our markets have faced. Once a project has come to a halt, its value is impacted. There are a number of residential projects in Mumbai that fall on either side of that coin. Sometimes bigger isn’t always better. Consider the thought behind the planning instead of the glitz of it.

Investors and buyers often draw a false equivalence between real estate and a financial asset. Real estate assets are lumpy, require large capital commitments from their buyers (often over a period of time) and are illiquid.

Unlike tradeable financial assets on indices, there are no clearing houses for apartment buyers and sellers, and there are no regulated and institutionalised conventional ‘market-makers’.

At a measurable level, the price of a home is a function of a macroeconomic factors, micro-market conditions, geopolitical issues, commodity prices and governmental policy. It is important to note that the home is – for most – the single largest purchase one will make in their life.

It is an asset which has both, inherent value – you live in it – and financial value – it can earn you money and preserve your wealth. For the latter reason, most buyers of real estate have historically tended to be somewhere on the continuum between end user and investor.

The current real estate market across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) is extremely vibrant. It is seeing renewed interest from buyers at both ends of the end-user-investor continuum. 2013 to 2018 saw a soft market on account of deep changes and shocks – demonetisation, the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax and the Real Estate (Development and Administration) Act, the NBFC Crisis and changes to Mumbai’s Development Control and Promotion Regulations.

Sales slowed as the sector found a new equilibrium and the clearing of stock of oversupplied luxury residential units put pressure on prices. New launches therefore slowed. Between 2019 and 2021 Mumbai and the MMR continued consuming an average of 29,530 units per quarter, whilst new supply was restricted at 24,300 units per quarter. This brought the inventory overhang down front a peak of 38 months (Q3CY2017) to 17 months today.

Wages continued to increase, enhancing profitability. This, coupled with governmental action – lower interest rates (enhancing affordability) and governmental incentives (enhancing affordability and profitability), took the sector from being in a self-reinforcing vicious cycle, to a virtuous one. This saw home purchases increase dramatically, with supply falling or stagnating. The ensuing result has been some price inflation.

FY2022-23 will be interesting in terms of real estate as an investment and asset class. New supply being brought to market takes time – and whilst there is a pipeline of supply expected, this will take at least the next 12-18 months to launch. This should keep demand for ongoing projects robust, and therefore prices firm. India is also seeing a bout of high inflation (the WPI was 15.08% last month). Geopolitical factors such as the war in Ukraine have had significant inflationary pressure on raw material prices, at a time when the cost of borrowing has gone up, as the RBI has raised its benchmark monetary policy rates to fight inflation.
