What do NRIs look for in Indian real estate market?

NRIs are investing big time in Indian real estate market. Here is what NRIs look for before investing in a property.

Having worked abroad for years, number of NRI's look at settling down in their home land. They look for land back home where NRIs can later settle down. Property prices in India often keep on rising, so having a thought of investing in an Indian property is quite natural. Another good reason for this is that investing in a property gives a feeling of support and security.

"When it comes to investment by NRIs, the main reason is the thought of resettling or resale. NCR has become a favourite investment destination for NRIs as the NCR suburbs are close to National Capital making it a better accommodation option and also because the place is well developed offering higher rates of return," according to Sanjay Rastogi, director, Saviour Builders.

Apart from good locality, easy access to services like hospitals, shopping malls, airport and other connectivity aspects are some of the major things that the NRIs look for."Any location linked to the national capital is bound to see significant appreciation, and these areas are also in demand on the secondary sales market. This makes NCR a preferred destination for the NRIs," says Santhosh Kumar, CEO operations & international director, JLL India. According to experts, Delhi-NCR is their most preferred area, but there are some areas which are high on demand. Gurgaon and Noida both are the preferred destinations for NRIs to invest in properties in NCR. NRIs are now also extending their search to places like Noida Extension, Greater Noida, Bhiwadi, Dwarka Expressway and Sohna Road in expectation of good returns from these areas in near future.

Simple Vaastu Tips

Have a nameplate outside the door

Vastu experts advise people to place a nameplate outside their home. This indicates ownership of the house and it works in the favour of the owners as it helps trace positivity and good opportunities back to you.

Light Lamps & Diyas

Light lamps, diyas and incense at home each evening and morning as this acts as a cleanser, shooing away the negativity or any evil eye.

Placement of Kitchen

Build your kitchen in the south-east corner of the house. If not possible then, the north-west corner is the second best option. However, make sure your gas stove is placed in the south-east direction.

Lemon Drives Away Negative Energy

To shoo away negative energy, place a lemon in a glass of water. This water needs to be changed every Saturday. This must be done religiously each week.

Don’t Keep Medicines in Kitchen

Proof your kitchen against all evils. You can do so by keeping medicines away from the kitchen. This is because a kitchen indicates health and happiness, and medicines indicate otherwise.

Place Holy Water in House

In the dark, unused corners of the house, place holy Ganga Jal. This needs to change every weekly. Placing holy water helps the inflow of positive energy.

Use Holy Symbol of Swastik

Swastik is the symbol for wealth and prosperity. It is auspicious to use Swastik symbols in the house. On the outer side of your main door, draw holy symbols of Swastik and OM.

Wind Chimes in House

Use wind chimes as the tinkling bells help to break negative energy patterns and help the positive energy to flow easily.

Salt Absorbs Negative Energy

Salt is a healer. In this case, placing salt bowls in the corners of the house helps to absorb all the negative energy.

Perform Puja in House

To maintain the peace and happiness of your home it is important that you perform the Navagraha puja and Ganesh puja at least once in three years. This helps to do away with the Vastu dosha from the house.

Making your home look more spacious

A spacious home is incredibly appealing to potential buyers and renters. After all, no wants to live in a space that is cramped and cluttered. Even if you home is relatively small there are ways you can maximize the space you do have.

Here we bring you top tips to make your home seem more spacious to potential buyers.

Unclutter and Reduce

The first key step is to clear your countertops, remove clutter and brick-a-brack and getting rid of oversized furniture.

When it comes to furniture a “less is more” is the best approach. Keep in mind that when you are showing a home, there might be at least 4 to 5 people walking through it at one time. So ensure that they do not go bumping into things.

Lighten and brighten

Light colored walls and great lighting are half the battle won in terms of adding appeal to a home. Allowing in natural light also add an airy and well-ventilated look.

Removing big area rugs and big pictures from the walls also add more space and helps them stand out.

Smaller Furniture means a bigger room

Large pieces of furniture are generally the culprit in making spaces appear smaller and cluttered. Huge couches and dining tables may look majestic but are better suited in standalone bungalows than in apartments,

Positioning furniture in groups, away from walls creates the effect of a bigger room.

"A general rule of thumb is: the more space visible on floor and walls, the better".

Remodeling your home on a budget

Remodeling your house does not need to be expensive. And you can recreate your home in a dazzling way without expensive or 'hard' resets. Just a brush stroke here and a frill there can enliven the space. Start small but think color, nature, organic. Here are eight design alterations that can help you get started.

•  Paint the rooms in different hues to add personality to every nook and cranny. It's smart to go with blues, greens - cool colors in bedrooms to ensure a relaxed frame of mind.
• Don't abide by rules. Play with colors and styles to create an imitation of dramatic installation. Today's design mantra is to go with the heart and break rules that you've been strait jacketed into by designers and architectural books. Let your personality shine through your home.
• Use rugs and kilims, and wooden floorings where the original flooring is an eyesore. Wooden flooring is easy to install, relatively inexpensive and light to look at. It is not permanent and is an immediate facelift.
• Metallic finishes on some furniture give a luster to your space. They also last longer and look elegant. Some gold accents and accessories with a combination of matte and shiny can sparkle up a room and add a royal touch.
• Red 'pops' spell drama! The color is inherently festive and combined with a 'haldi' tinge is quintessentially Indian. Add an ottoman or a single sofa in bold red and voila, you get instant drama in your room.
• Dramatic lighting always pushes up the design ante. Japanese and Chinese paper lanterns clustered together can become show-stoppers, and they don't cost much. Lamps, floor lighting and reflected ceiling lighting features that can be moved often freshens up the look of your home. Bring your favorite big tree into your living room and dress it up with glass lanterns.

Simple upgrades to make your home look expensive

Consider each room as a blank slate

Make note of the preexisting features in your home that you can focus on. Any architectural details like wooden beams, hardwood floors, mosaic tiles, built-in bookshelves are all worth paying attention to. Make them as prominent as possible—keep them clean, clutter free, and the focal point of the room.

Get rid of something old or unattractive

If an old piece of light fixture or furniture makes you frustrated, lose it. You don’t have to break your bank to do this- Dull walls can be painted or done up with decals, outdated fixtures can be replaced cheaply.

Stick to traditional neutral walls

If you are unsure of the paint color to use, our best advice is to stick to a neutral color. Colors like beige, gray, and yellow always look fresh and on trend. What's more, they pair well with everything. Limit bold accent colors to accessories and you'll never have to repaint an entire room because a bright color choice got to be too much.

Create DIY "built-in" structures

The key to making any piece look customized is to make it fit your home perfectly. The easiest way to do this is to extend them all the way to the ceiling. A bookshelf that spans an entire wall will almost always look more expensive than one that stands alone.

Indulge in statement pieces

Items like dining room tables, stand-out rugs, chandeliers, and sofas all have the ability to upgrade a home's sense of luxury. Identify a few key pieces that you see and use often, the ones which are visible from other rooms as well, and decide if you can splurge on it. If you decide to buy, choose colors and fabrics that are easily cleaned and not easily stained or destroyed.

Add voluminous accessories

Expensive items tend to have weight and volume to them. Avoid flimsiness at all costs: add an extra panel of curtains to your curtain rod, and look for good quality carpets and throw blankets that are great to the touch. Also, accessorize with weighty accent pieces; vases, picture frames, and ornaments should all feel like they've got something to them.

Create your own statement artwork

If your room doesn’t have a preexisting focal point, then create one using artwork. One option is to create a multi-panel piece like one picture blown up and printed onto three panels hung next to each other or a gallery-type display of frames.

Keep your home clean

Follow the rule of threes -objects look best when organized in odd numbers, especially threes and leave a liberal amount of space on your walls and surfaces. When it comes to looking luxurious, less is always more. Keep clutter out of sight, find a home for everything.

Revamp your wall with decal clocks

What if you could get the Eiffel Tower in your living room or a plant that you didn’t need to water? Decals have been on the radar for inexpensive home decor for quite some time now. However, now you can dress up your walls with decal clocks that are fun, colourful and come in different designs.

Get rid of those boring wall clocks and opt for 3D mirror clocks with Roman numerals, quaint lamp-posts, butterflies, and if you like mush, big red hearts.

These decal clocks come as DIY décor kits containing the sticker – vinyl with a matte or glossy finish – centre dial, the hour, minute and second hands and batteries. “Youngsters these days love to experiment with home décor and decal clocks let them do just that. They are colourful, functional and pocket-friendly and make for great wall accessories too.

These decals can also be customised, to add a personal touch to the designs.Many interior designers offer to customise the motifs on these decals to choose your preference. So, you can get a clock that had religious motifs of Om and Ganesha on it instead of numerals.
