What is a Holiday home, and why do you need one?

If you are planning to invest in real estate, you may likely come across the term “ Holiday Home ”. In simple terms, it refers to the homes that people keep to spend their holidays. Most people prefer holiday homes to be near a tourist place, mostly a city or town they often visit. It is usually in a different city that they live in.   Some travellers like to explore new places and set new sail; others want to go to known places to rewind and relax.

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.
