Business News | Retirement and Second Home Market Size Will Increase to $4 Billion by 2026

India's retirement and second home market segment is expected to grow annually by 23.63 per cent in the next 5 years taking the size of the market to USD 4.021 billion by 2026 from the current size of around USD 1.4 billion, an industry report showed.

According to 360 Realtors' latest research report, sales for vacation homes have sky-rocketed in the last couple of years. The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a catalyst and pushed the demand for second homes and retirement houses in India.

The concept of retirement and second home (RSH) started to gain traction in the previous decade. With the lockdowns and travel restrictions, more people have warmed up to this idea.

"Second homes have been part of an aspirational lifestyle for a long-time, and with the pandemic changing the real estate market in various ways, the second home industry has come into the spotlight," said Aditya Kushwaha, CEO and Director, Axis Ecorp.


Kushwaha said purchasing a second home is often not just about investment, but also about a lifestyle choice, an alternate residence, a future residence, or simply diversifying assets.

"Today, most corporate professionals are working from home, so geography is less of a constraint and that has further fuelled the demand for a getaway home that is away from the hustle-bustle of the city," Kushwaha said.

"In the last couple of years, we have launched several big-ticket projects on the holiday home concept in North of Goa. These projects include Axis Blues, Axis Yog Villas and Axis Blues and they have all been accepted well by the consumers," he added.

There is also a surge of people looking to escape from the city and are looking to settle in quainter places. Goa has emerged as the top choice for people looking for a holiday home. With sun, beaches, and a beautiful landscape, Goa has emerged as an appealing destination for buyers. In addition to Indian buyers, NRIs also invest heavily in the coastal state. Rowhouses, gated communities, and villas are some of the numerous options for buyers.

Shifting Focus From Metro Cities to Tourist Destinations : Aditya Kushwaha

In an exclusive interview with Track2Realty, Kushwaha asserts that the Work From Home trend would shift the focus from top metro cities to open spaces in and around the tourist destinations. He, therefore, urges the government to look at the Holiday Home segment as a priority sector. Ravi Sinha: 2020 has generally been a bad year for the sector. Has there been any positive developments that bodes well for the year ahead? Aditya Kushwaha:  The real estate sector was already in bad shape before the Covid-19 pandemic, which has only added to the troubles of the distressed industry. April and May were probably the worst months when the economy was broken badly, however recently there has been a good spike in the recovery of the real estat...

Demand for Holiday Homes Gains Traction Amid Pandemic

As the pandemic has significantly impacted the operations of businesses and people's working model, housing preferences also have changed and the demand for holiday homes or second homes has increased in the past few months. According to Aditya Kushwaha, CEO & Director Axis Ecorp , the need for a perfect balance between work and personal life has fuelled the concept of a weekend retreat in a holiday home.    "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of a holiday home or a second home has gained widespread acceptance.

Twist in the Plot: Rising Demand for Land Following the Pandemic

The real estate segment showed exceptional tenacity in the year 2020, and it continues in 2021 as well. Last year witnessed an unprecedented patch during the lockdown but as soon as things started to open up, the segment clocked a great rebound. The residential segment has been the key driver in this rebound phase.  An interesting trend that has emerged from the pandemic is the rise in demand for residential plots.    What is driving the current demand for plots? Residential plots were always a top-of-mind option for homebuyers as they offered a number of advantages. However, due to cost considerations and other factors, most homebuyers opt for apartments. According to a report by Square Yards research, the demand for plots increased by a whopping 50 per cent in Oct-Dec 2020 as opposed to the previous quarter.  This pandemic has given homebuyers ample opportunity to weigh in their choices and now more people are inclined towards a plotted property.
