Title clarity and due diligence
A primary consideration for buyers remains verification of land titles and ownership records.
Samujjwal Ghosh, CEO of The House of Abhinandan Lodha, said risks in land transactions often emerge later rather than at the time of purchase, largely due to gaps in initial verification.
“Concerns around title and documentation are typically not due to their absence, but due to gaps in verification at the outset,” he said, adding that clear ownership and thorough due diligence are essential to avoid future complications.
Buyers are advised to check for encumbrances, ensure approvals are in place, and review documentation beyond surface-level compliance.
Infrastructure-led valuation
Infrastructure continues to influence property values, but experts indicate that reliance on announced projects alone may not be sufficient. Instead, emphasis is placed on existing or under-construction connectivity and economic activity.
Ghosh noted that land value tends to follow infrastructure that is already operational or nearing completion, rather than projects that are only proposed.
Investment horizon and exit visibility
Real estate, particularly land, is typically considered a long-term asset, with value appreciation unfolding over an extended period. In this context, liquidity and resale potential become relevant considerations.
Availability of transparent pricing benchmarks and structured transaction ecosystems can support decision-making at both entry and exit stages.
Market observations across regions
Inputs from developers suggest that end-user demand and lifestyle considerations continue to influence buying patterns in several markets.
Somesh Mittal, Co-founder of One Prastha, said integrated townships and plotted developments are seeing traction in NCR and surrounding regions. He highlighted locations such as Sonipat, citing factors like connectivity, affordability and availability of open spaces with planned amenities.
In southern markets such as Bengaluru, residential demand has been supported by infrastructure improvements and affordability conditions. Sujith Sebastian, Chief Sales Officer at Mana Projects, said demand has grown 28% year-on-year, with metro expansion and road connectivity shaping buyer interest in key corridors.
Festival-led demand remains a recurring theme
Separately, organised retail players highlight that Akshaya Tritiya continues to influence consumer purchases across categories.
Jayen Naik, President – Operations at Nexus Select Malls, said the occasion remains an important consumption period, particularly for jewellery, with purchases often planned in advance despite elevated prices.
While the festival provides a favourable backdrop for purchases, experts underline that property investment decisions should be guided by due diligence, infrastructure assessment and long-term financial considerations rather than timing alone.
